Hi people!
Unitronics Spring 2020 release introduces a powerful feature—UniStream controllers can now function as BACnet IP Servers. Particularly valuable for Unitronics users who are active in Building Automation and Environmental Control, UniStream BACnet Server supports a broad range of Services, Objects, and Tasks—we invite you to activate the trial license to check it out!
This new release increases your project reach with:
New Ethernet-based URB Components:
- I/O Modules: Loadcell/Strain-gauge, PWM, and Pulse I/O modules
- I/O Adapter: URB-TCP2, a compact, competitively-priced adapter that supports up to 6 URB I/O modules
UniLogic’s New High-priority Ladder Task:
Runs independently of your Ladder program according to a specific time interval, for example 1ms. Use our new Immediate Ladder functions to implement ‘Interrupt’ functionality
New 4G /LTE & WiFi Cellular:
Unitronics Routers support embedded SMS functionality
---------------------------------------------------------------------
⚠️ A word regarding security: Unitronics tracks the dynamic challenges that cybersecurity presents to industrial automation. To enable you to better protect your application and prevent unauthorized PLC access, we have embedded user authentication measures into both UniLogic software and UniStream firmware. UniLogic now requires users to enter a PLC password before executing commands and tasks that require UniLogic to UniStream communication.
We highly recommend you take this opportunity to benefit from the increased security offered in this version release. To do so, you must update your UniLogic software, upgrade UniStream firmware, and download an application created/updated in this current version.

⚠️  The current version is UniLogic 1.29.103, OS 1.29.128. A previous version, UniLogic 1.29.103, OS 1.29.128  failed to update successfully in  UniStream Modular controllers: USP-070-B10/B08, USP-104-B10/ M10, and USP-156-B10. 
If you downloaded 1.29.103, please replace it with the current version.

Joe Tauser - if you've spent 5 minutes on this forum,  you know Joe as a forum moderator, expert in all things Unitronics. If you have ever asked for help, you have probably benefited from his broad knowledge of control engineering.
Joe offered some good, cautionary advice for those implementing IoT in their applications that appears in the May edition of Control Engineering, European edition,  in  an article on machine control technology developments, spotlight on IIOT,

Legacy Applications Wanted!!!!
**Call for 'Legacy' PLC application stories!**
Our first generation PLC's are controlling applications decades (!) after their release.
Do you use Unitronics' first generation PLCs?
Let us know!
