Fotonic Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi, during operation via VNC client it's impossible to go back from screensaver screen since it's functionality is based on General.Touched Bit that is not set via VNC. This is a problem also related to resetting the timer associated to the screensaver screen loading since it's not reset when screen is virtually touched in VNC.

NoamM Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hi Fotonic, The General.Touched Bit is a bit that set when a touch event, of the touch screen, occur. When you "touch" the UniStream using a VNC client the General.Touched bit will not be set by design. Nevertheless I will add a "feature request" to this manner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwires Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Perhaps a unique bit that responds to VNC screen clicks. Could be ORed in ladder with general.touched bit. Hopefully next release will fix the “number of VNC connections” bug as well. If that counter worked reliably it could “partially” solve the screen saver problem. A compare could detect when a VNC Session was established and disable screen saver. When connected clients=0 screen saver could Resume. I believe there is a VNC connected bit, if you’re needing a quick fix you could defeat the screensaver when the VNC connected bit is true .

Nevertheless I will add a "feature request" to this manner I understand that the bit refers to a touch action on the phisical screen, but isn't vnc supposed to be a way to "touch" the screen remotely? Thanks for the feature request. 56 minutes ago, hotwires said: I believe there is a VNC connected bit, if you’re needing a quick fix you could defeat the screensaver when the VNC connected bit is true . There is that bit and I disable all functions related to screen touched bit when vnc client connects. Honestly it's pretty annoying in my opinion, if you forgot to disable something you mess up the program even when the vnc client disconnects.

hotwires Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Fair enough. I predicated it with “quick fix”. Unitronics is good about feature requests (generally) but they can take some time. I envisioned a PTC contact to defeat screen saver and an NTC contact to restore sceen saver at client disconnect. Theorically that leaves nothing to forget. Annoyinng: I agree. I’ve been stonewalled with similar issues myself. I work with another major PLC brand and they have their issues too. For the price, features, support, and possibility of feature requests making a release; I deal with the little things and enjoy the greater good I can realize with Unistream.

There's another bug that I've signaled some days ago but had no attention... and that's pretty bad too. Found a dirty fix to it but an official fix would be great. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotwires Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I ran into a bug that was a show stopper a few years back. Here’s the good news: a fix was released. It took a few weeks, keep in mind (someone correct me if I’m wrong) software fixes come out of Isreal. If anyone gets a fix released in less than a week please let me know how it was done. Unitronics is pushing the envelope of what a PLC can (or was ever intended to) do. The competition won’t have the same bugs when they don’t even offer the same features. Would you mind sharing what the other bug is? I am planning on developing new applications for several Unistreams this year in a manufacturing facility. Everyone depends on swift support, these PLC’s control the machines that control our paychecks. Sometimes I’ll find a solution on my own before the forum or support team replies; other times I have to wait it out. I’m not a software hacker so bug fixes have to wait.

Generally, bug fixes are released along with versions. Service packs are usually to address Windoze versions--they change stuff, we have to update to support it, and we include any fixes that we have made along the way. as far as the timeline--less than a week isn't gonna happen.

NoamM Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Dear all,From version 30.XXX go to "UniApps -> Network -> VNC Server -> Set 'touch bit'" check box and press apply. The VNC server will restart with the "touch" identification option and will set General.Touched bit upon "touch" of a VNC client connected to UniStream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 Ausman Posted April 5, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I don't use Unilogic but I noticed in your screenshots that 2 different resolutions are in use......800 x 480 vs 1366 x 768. Perhaps this is the issue? Maybe they need to match exactly? Including orientation? cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojekude Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I changed Server resolution to 1366x768 (my USL display is 15.6") but that didn't solve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojekude Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Thanks, its work now - I didnt see (my fault) that in version 1.32.98 exist special VNC touched bit, despite of Touched bit. Very useful option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
