Once you force and Input to 1(via info mode or online mode) it will stay one until you force it to 0 or cancel the force(return it to normal operation). This can be done as described by Alex or from the info mode on the PLC.

Your MB 111 is being controlled by a direct coil every scan. You need to change the value of MB100 or MB 40 in order for MB 111 to be affected.

I'd try a new USB cable.

You should be able to use the Protocol TCP/IP: Send to do what you need, FB>protocol TCP/IP I've done something similar using serial and that protocol FB, I've never tried it on TCP/IP before.

The 570 has 4 sockets you can use. Init one for port 80 and one for KepserverEx.

Expansion I/O would let you do this. What I/O is required?

Ryan are you running Visilogic as Administrator? -right click the exe file and select run as administrator

What is the error?? Can you post the code?

In the help file search for Password, then review the Password: Keypad Entry This would allow you to place a keypad entry variable(it's under Numeric -> Password) on the screen for each level. When touched if a valid password is entered you can then use the Legal Entry MB (which you have to assign to the variable.) to jump to the screen you want to protect. Cam

Can you please clarify. Is it just three users/levels with 1 password per user/level? Or multiple users with three access levels(multiple users per access level with different unique ID's and passwords) For the first case you may want to look at a password screen. For the second case you may want to look at a data table that would conatin the user login, password and access level. Cam

Look up the read DT row function in the help file. It allows you to read a row in the DT via a pointer in to operhands you pick. You can then link those to variables on the HMI.

Hi Matt, The Vision series does not support Ethernet IP communication, you'd have to move to a UniStream in order to utilize Ethernet/IP. We can provide an example project specifically for UniStream with a Murr 55086 if needed. Cam

Juan, Check out the following: http://www.unitronics.com/knowledgebase/visilogic/knowledgebase/visilogic/Displays/Display_Variables/How_Keypad_Entry_Variables_Work.htm http://www.unitronics.com/knowledgebase/visilogic/knowledgebase/visilogic/Displays/HMI_Displays/HMI_SB_and_SIs.htm I think you might be able to use SB 32 and SB 30 with the input to get the variable entry to complete(second press of enter key). You may be limited to 1 variable per screen though, I'm not sure as I've never tried this. --| |-- --|P|-- --( )-- SB32 I0 SB30

You need to find another cable to try Jon as this seems to be the common element. Have you tried a different USB port on the PC as well??

Hi Jon, What error message are you getting? Are you connecting to the V430's USB programming port or the RS232 Port?(I suspect the RS232 port due to the prolific drivers the usb port should be a Silicon Labs) Does your serial port setting in Visilogic match the COM port Windows assigned the USB device? Have you tried putting the PLC into Stop mode and communicating with it? Cam

Hi Jon, No via the browse SD card function you can only delete 1 file at a time. If you can use a PC and connect to the PLC via the SD explorer software which is part of the SD Card Suite you can then select and delete multiple files at a time. Cam

I've seen the first one before, when using labels and jumps to create a loop (whether it's intentional or not). If the loop doesn't exit the watchdog timer trips as the controller believes that the program in hung up. While you can make loops in the program to repeat a part of the code it isn't advised. When compiled you get a warning about that the loop may trip the watchdog timer.

Ummmm... Joe shouldn't net 5 have a contact for MB 0? Otherwise the start and pause logic in nets 3 & 4 won't have any effect and the timer will just decrement to infinity.

Hi Ofir, This was answered via email between us,support and the customer. Summary : Can you please find out what is the maximum angle, from vertical, that I can safely mount the USP-156-B10. I want to mount in on a sloped console, but it is close to horizontal and I couldn’t find any specs in the installation guide…. I am concerned about heat build up. I have done the same with some V570’s, and while they are still functioning, they get very hot Response that was provided by the factory via US support: I checked with the factory and they advised that there should be no limitations when installing it vertically vs. horizontally. They did recommend leaving plenty of space behind the unit so that it can have adequate airflow to the back of the unit. I also wanted to mention that the UniStream 10.4 is actually rated to operate in slightly higher environments (-22 to 55’ C), while the Vision570 is (0-50’ C). Cam

Here is another option that I've seen using RS233 or 485 https://www.electronicdisplays.com/rs232-input-225-numbers ED202-111-4D-N1

I just saw this ^. My follow preferences seem to be intact however as I am receiving notices about new posts but I don't seem to be notified when a moderator replies to a topic I'm following. For example: http://forum.unitronics.com/topic/4491-visilogic-missing-io-modules/ I only got notified about Matt's posts, I never saw a notification for Joe's response.(figure I wouldn't be notified about my own answer)

Hi, I had the same issue however, the poster option did correct this partially. When acrobat splits the page however it's cutting some of the ladder functions in half when it reaches a page break. Is there a way to correct this? or at least select where the page breaks fall?

No. It's not possible to to change the I/O configuration without the communication cable as your talking about changing the hardware configuration as well as the address of the mapped I/O to change from the expansion module to the snap I/O.

Screen Shot of what you need to select. Cheers.

Visilogic assumes that the EX-A2X is present if you are using expansion I/O, so you don't need to add it into the hardware config. The IO-DI8-RO8 is listed with the IO-DI8-TO8 and will show as IO-DI8-TO8/RO8 in the hardware config screen under I/O Expansions. The V200-19-ET2 is a card that the PLC recognizes when you plug it in it's not part of the hardware config. You do have to make sure that the card and sockets are initialized, and a PLC name is set in in the ladder(recommended to be done with SB2 on power up) in order to use the V200-19-ET2. Joe beat me to it
