[Data Tables import from file]

Hi,

I will pass your request to our R&D team.

[RS232 serial parameter (baudrate) swap within ladder]

Hi,

Currently in UniLogic there is no ladder function or other way to change the baud rate from the program.

Is there any way to configure the energy meter to work with the same baud rate both for RX and TX?

Please send a mail to support@unitronics.com including the spec of the energy meter.

 

[Factory settings on UniStream]

Hi,

You will need to download blacnk or other application in order to remove the existing password for the UniApps:

1. You can contact the person you bought the PLC froma ns ask for the IP address. Note that the default IP address is 192.168.1.2

2. Download application via USB. Which windows system are you using? Do you see the notifier in the system tray? When you connect the the UniStream to the PC does the notifier shows any message?

You can send a mail to support@unitronics.com and we will contact you for further assintance.

[Frequency measurement]

Hi Michal,

When configuring a counter in the UID-0808THS the bottom field lets's you choose the frequency measurement interval (from 1 ms up to  10000ms).

Then look at struct created - one the tags created is Frequency. There you will find the measured frequency.

Note that there are other scenarios you can configure. For example if you choose scenario "Measure length" (pulse counter)  you can count pulses from the moment that sensor detects until it stop detecting.

 

[Modbus word to bit array]

Hi Mark,

You can read the whole word to an integer (using R.H.R command) and then use the Ladder element NUM to Bits (You can find it under the logic menu in the toolbox).

This element will convert the integer to array of bits. (Please make sure to create the array of bits in the correct length).

 

[EASY Advanced Modbus Reads]

Hi,

First of all I want to point that for the next version of UniLogic we will add the option to the determine timeout for the MODBUS Panel..

Can you explain in  more details why do you need to change the Slave ID and addresses?

The Slave ID can be changed via UniApps --> Network --> MODBUS Mater serial . Then you can touch the area of the Slave ID and change it.

Please make sure to use the latest version of UniLogic and UniStream firmware.

[UniCAN between Unistream & Vision PLC's]

Hi,

You can do it as following:

when sending data from UniStream you determine in your logic that the first integer will be message number.

Each time you wish to send diferent data change the message number.

Then when vision receives the data, check the value of the first integer and copy it to the right location.

For example you wish to send 124 bytes:

prepare 2 vectors of 62 each.

When you wish to send the first 62 bytes set the first integer to 1 and copy it to the vector you defined in UniCAN node.

Then when the vision receive the data check the integer value and copy it to the right vector.

When you wish to send the next 62 bytes set the first integer to 2 and copy it to the vector you defined in UniCAN node.

etc..

 

 

[MODBUS slave lost comm detection]

Hi,

The USB device port and the RS232 (port1) of the V430 are connected to the same serial channel. This means that only one can work at a time.

I hope this is clear.

[Storing values of counter with v1210]

Hi,

Do you still need any help regarding this topic?

[mComDriver.Read_DB]

Hi,

Please define  iTemCam and iPeso  as float instead of double.

[Visilogic 9.8.31 Info Mode Bug]

Hi,

It seems that the keypad image was not downloaded to the PLC.

In VisiLogic toolbar there is an icon "System images" (you can find it also under project menu), select this option and once the window of the system images is option choose "Restore all system images to default".

Now download the application to the PLC and test whether the keypad can be opened.

[V700 Ethernt System Bits]

Hi,

 

The V700 comprises a special Ethernet card that offers 8 sockets. Note that your V700 applications implement Ethernet differently from applications using other Vision controllers.

Please review help topic in VisiLogic - Vision700 - Using Ethernet. It includes explanation how to use the V700 Ethernet statuses.

You can find also example for V700 Ethernet under VisiLogic help menu --> examples.

[Storing values of counter with v1210]

^Hi,

 

^{Indeed  the UniCAN send element support only vectors of MIs but if you wish to  send diffrent types of operands (for example ML in your case) you can use the Struct ladder element to collect diffrent types of operands and place it in vector of MIs.}

^{then when the other PLC receives the data , you will need to use extract (also using the Struct )in order to parse back the vector of MIs to the operands. You can find the struct ladder element under the ladder Vector menu.}

[V430 and SmartMotor]

Hi,

 

First of all after downloading application or performing any communication with VisiLogic, please make sure that you are activating the COM INITand  protocol you are using to communicate with the motor. 

Then as Joe mentioned you can monitor the communication (transmit & receive messages)in INFO mode.

in order to get to the Monitor do the following:

Touch the screen for 4 seconds

select "Enter INFO mode"

default passowrd is 1111

select Serial

select monitor (button at the bottom right)

There you should be able to view the TX and RX.

[User-Management]

Hello,

 

Do you mean that one will download DataXport from our website and access the data tables?

When using DataXport, you can define which data tables can be retreived. in this case you can define only the data tables which does not include the information you wish to secure.

Please note that you can block access to the PLC using SB314. whenever it is on no one will be able to access the PLC using both serial and Ethernet connection.

[Disable UNIAPPS]

Hi,

There are few options:
1. You can set a password to the UniApps. Look for Password management in the Solution Explorer. (system tree at the left).

2. Use UAC (User Access control) - You can create Groups and users. Then you can configure that a user has no access to UniApps. this means that when this user is logged in the menu for UniApps will not be accessable.

You can find detailed information about the UAC in UniLogic help file.

[HMI Display active bit]

Hi,

 

We will take care to update the help file with:

"The HMI display bit should either (recommended) be XB or have power up value RESET"

[V700 profibus configuration on VisiLogic V989]

Hi,

 

From VisiLogic version 9.8.22 V700 support Profibus !!

[SD Card Explorer for Unistream]

Hi,

 

In the next version of UniLogic which will be launched soon , there will be a new HMI widget - "File Selector Browser". One wll be able to select a file from the HMI and get the file name and path into an ASCII String.

Regarding the rename for User Logs via File Browser - we passed it to our R&D.

Anyway you can use the Ladder Element "Rename File". (please make sure yo include in SD folder also the sbu folder of the UserLogs. ie Txt)

[SD Card to Excel- Write to CSV problem]

Hi,

 

I looked at the project and the problem is that in Ladder SD Create Delimited Line the start of vector (for stroring the line data - Date , Time, Float and Binary Text) is MI24 and you need to keep at least 20 MIs (40 characters) free - meaning from MI24 up to MI44.

In this case you are using MI25 (final number of bytes)and MI26 as status. This overwrtes the data you are storing. 

Make sure to change the "outputs" of the SD Create Delimited Line to other MIs. 

[jazz firmware update]

Hi ,

 

Updating Jazz firmware can be done only via Unitronics tools such as U90Ladder.

The update is done using special Unitronics protocol and cannot be done via MODBUS.

MODBUS is a protocol for exchaning registers and coils and not updating OS or application.

[V700 profibus configuration on VisiLogic V989]

Hi,

 

 

The V700 currently does not support Profibus card.

The development for V700 is not finalized yet, and once it is, we will announce it.

Sorry for the inconvinience.

[Accessing StringLibrary using UnCmDrv1.dll]

Hi,

 

There is no option to access the string library via communication driver.

Note that you can assign indirect MI in the string library so this might help to solve the problem.

[EX-RC1 communication]

Hi Nildo,

 

Did you already solve the issue above?

If not then please send a mail to support@unitronics.com with the latest version of the applications and we will help accordingly!

[Does the VISION batch have prospects for new applications?]

Hi

 

We are considering making a flat V1040. It was not decided yet. A large potential customer / project would probably get us to do it.

Vision series is here to stay, and will continue to advance.

Can you explain what exactly is the use of the Profibus?

Can you aso explain what are the issues you are facing with the UniStream dimensions?
