  1. Hi Joe, Thanks for the input - your thoughts, insights and phone number are appreciated! I'm looking forward to diving into the world of Unitronics, the product seems interesting. It's unfortunate about the simulator - most of the OEMs we deal with are rather spoiled ih that regard. Not so concerned about my own testing - we'll always have a couple in our lab- but our customers may be less game for the extra hardware - not to mention the convenience of course . But if they like the product enough otherwise, they'll adapt... Take Care, Ted
  2. Good morning, I am new to the Unitronics world, our company just become a VAR/Distributor last week. I've visited a couple of customer with the product and came out with a list of questions. Through the Forum and manuals, I've gotten several questions answered, but several are still outstanding, and I'm curious if this forum is where I can get them answered? 1) The free software download is awesome - but opens the question of backwards compatibility to older programs and hardware. If my customer is updating the software on a regular basis, does Unitronics have a general statement regarding compatibility with older hardware and previous programs? 2) Mitsubishi and Omron have a neat function where they can display the ladder on the HMI and monitor it - no software or PC required to troubleshoot. No editting allowed. With the Vision series, can this be done - the ladder montiored on the HMI screen? 3) Other HMIs I've worked with allow run-time access to "system screens" - setting contrast, IP address, screen calibration, etc. I've seen in the manuals that these screens can be accessed by holding your finger on a blank area of a screen for several seconds, but is it possible to use button (perhaps password protected) to do this as well? 4) I've seen information about program scan time, but little about local I/O update times. Is there a place to look this up? I haven't found it yet. Thank you for your time! Ted
  3. Hi, we are a new distributor/VAR in Wisconsin

  4. I am brand new to the Unitronics world, and I wanted to add my comment here -- a simulator/emulator would be an excellent asset. I work for a distributor that has just picked up the Unitronics product line (as in last week), and this issue comes up on both of the sales calles that I have taken the product on. Simulation is almost a must have.
