HI, I thought I was going crazy, maybe I still am, but besides that point, when using the Password text box and if I change the font for the description to something else besides the default MS Sans Serif(8), it works as long as I make sure it hasn't changed before I do a download, because every time I change it and then save my work and close Visilogic, when I open the program again it has gone back to MS San Serif(8), which can be annoying when using a screen bigger then the V570.

Hi, I'm having trouble trying to install the latest Unilogic 1.69.90, I get the following error; and if I try to go back to version 1.23.25 or 1.24.56 I get this error; I have Windows 7, 64-bit, over177gb of free hard drive space, any advice? Edit: Ok I didn't notice but there was an icon on my desktop, so now have version 1.23.25 backup and running. Thanks, DonH

One time I needed more Inputs but did not have room in the enclosure for 2 more modules, so I took 5 inputs and treated them as binary, depending on which inputs were on I knew which switch was pushed, so I got 25 inputs from just 5 inputs, I also used 5 small relay cards at 4 relays per card . Then the rest was just in programming! Don2015

Hi, I made a simple web page on a V700, it currently has 3 of it's 8 sockets connected to remote operators leaving 5 available, I have 1 socket set to http and port 80 for the web server, can I add more http so more people can connect to the web server? Thanks, Don2015

Hi, Searching the help file, I was unable to find any information on the $ used in the title for numeric box, I did however find something here and it showed how to use the $. "Current Box Count ($_title)" so when you enter in a value to the numeric box the $_title uses the min and max values used even if they're variables, so it would look like this; "Current Box Count (0 - 49)" as 0 is my min value and 49 is my max value that is a variable. I just wanted to say I've always wanted something like this in Visilogic, now that you have perfected it in UniLogic, can you add this great feature to Visilogic? Thanks, Don2015

Hi, I'm trying to force inputs off or on that are coming from a Ethernet/IP 8-port junction block. Is this possible? Thanks, DonH

Hi Saragani, Thanks for reply, as I must of done what you said, I re-saved with Media files and now it points to the correct directory, however, I'm still getting a file not found when trying to load a pdf file with pdf viewer. Thanks, DonH

Hi, I have used a previous solution and then did a save as, however it made a new media directory with the new saved as name, when compiling UniLogic wants to use the previous name media directory, how can I fix this? Thanks, DonH

Hi All, I want to take a value from ML[1] which is 70,511 and make that into a string, how do I do this in UniLogic? Thanks, Don

PROBLEM SOLVED! Needed a new Firmware update Hi, I'm trying to connect a 8-port M12 Digital Input Hub, I have all the IP settings correct as I can use the web browser to connect up to the device as well, It says Assembly Instance Input: 100 / Size: 4 (8-bit) Assembly Instance Output: 112 / Size: 2 (8-bit) Assembly Instance Configuration: 128 / Size: 0 I've created a Structure for this with them being two things Inputs INT8(0..3) Outputs INT8(0..1) While watching the Data in the EIP it shows that it's trying to connect as the Device names blinks on for a split sec then goes off a couple of seconds. I've tried the RPI setting from 8 all the way to 1000, with no change. Any one know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Don

Hi Again, I'm sure I'll have lots of these questions, using the 'Numeric Box' keyboard. Is there a way to have it zoomed in all the time? Because as soon as power down and then back up again the keypad is back to being small. I'm using the 7" UniStream Thanks, Don

Thanks Flex, Yea, I did that, I was just wanting to know if missed something, cause I like all the neat stuff that makes for less coding.

OK, I'm working on my first UniLogic program, more or less I'm trying to adapt everything that I have done on a VisiLogix program over to UniLogic. I have a Button on a display on level 2 and using it's visibility bit I unhide the button on layer 2 when a box count is reached. I want to be able to reset the My Box Full counter INT16, but I don't see that capability in the Actions (Collection) for the button. Any Ideas, On how I can do this? Thanks, Don

HI, I now have my first UniStream PLC, and I'm wondering if it is possible to connect a fingerprint reader to it? Thanks, Don

Well I guess I spoke to soon, but I waited a while before posting but it happened again; When it looses it's connection it tries to re-connect but never does connect as something goes wrong with the socket, even after stopping Remote Operator and then restarting it has no effect, as it still tries to connect but does not, I have to change the port (socket) in order to get it going again. Well I think I'm going to go to a wired connection instead of wireless, as there are reports that the compute sticks drop connections. Thanks, Don

Hi Ofir, I'm using socket 6 & 7 with both set to the default settings TCP and port 20262 and 20263 respectively. I have a feeling that the value of 20 from Ethernet read means that the Re-Connect on Error is on, as I have both connections running again with that value and I'm running both remotes as Administrator. I really believe that this problem has nothing to do with the PLC or the Remote Operator program as it has more to do with something going on with our wireless network in our plant. But at least I learned a few things. almost forgot the PLC name is "Andon". As this is a Andon system that has two large screen TV's connected to the V700 PLC. Thanks, Don

Ok, I thought it be better to start a new topic then to continue in the other one. I thought everything was going great but today I see the remote operator trying to do it's thing by trying to reconnect, but it just keeps looping without connecting, so I thought I better look into the PLC, and I added the V700 Ethernet read function and put in the value of #22 and got the output value of 23 which is good then I put the input to #21 and I got back the value of 20. That means any value other then 0 I'm supposed to check with Unitronics. Thanks, Don

That would work great Also it's been over 24 hrs. without a single disconnect of 2 compute sticks on 2 large screen TV's going to one V700. ( 1 at the fastest update rate of 100ms and the other at 1 sec,) Things are looking good! Don

Hi Saragani, Well the icon does disappear, but I'm using a black background, so now it's a light gray square. Just installed the new version today, and I had to delete any ur2 files I had as they were no longer compatible. After 4 hours so far no disconnection. Thanks, Don

All right Just came back to the forum to see if anything was new and I found this! Thanks so very much as I have been experiencing disconnections a lot and the IT dept. guy has yet to figure it out. Thanks Again, Don

Hi, Maybe this should be put onto the wish list? On the V700 and larger Vision PLC's it is very hard to work with the Info mode displays. As they were designed on smaller resolution HMI, it makes them very small on higher resolution HMI's. Thanks, DonH

Thanks Saragani, That works no more errors. DonH

Hi, Well I have the compute stick up and running with Windows 10 Pro, I have one problem I want to have Remote Operator start on Windows Startup, when I try setting it I get an Error saying; Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation. I have Remote Operator set to run in Windows 7 Compatibility mode, when not set in Windows 7 mode, I get a different error that says; Registry access is denied. These errors are coming from Remote Operator as that is the title of the window with the error. I am setup as administrator. Got any ideas as to what I need to do? Thanks, DonH

Hi, I want to remote to a compute stick computer attached to a large screen TV, to show the screen on the V700. Also while trying the Remote Operator which is cool, I wonder if the little Icon for changing back from full screen could be hidden until you move a mouse to actually click on the icon. Thanks, Don

Ok, I have done this before on a different PLC brand, but then again the different PLC brand did not have HMI built into the PLC. By using inputs, and device net addresses, I was able to automatically load a different program into the PLC from the SD card, when a jig was connected fixture. So each program had it's own loading program within it. Will I be able to do this with a V700, and if so how many .vlp files could I have on an 8GB SD card? Thanks, Don
