    We want everything, Cara. You know that. As far as priority, I think it should be tackled in this order: 1) Uni to Uni 2) Uni to Visi (and the reverse) 3) Uni to other (though I suspect this would be quite a bit more difficult)

    Memory Float addressing starts at 4000 (hex) or 16384 (dec). Try reading address 16384 (or possibly 16385 since Visions PLCs start addressing at zero).

    +1 on the MODBUS Mixed R/W feature in the Enhance Vision products. I use this function constantly and it is one of the best features that Unitronics offers that is unavailable elsewhere. I would love to see it implemented in the UniStream product.

    Yes, you can use "Binary Text / Switch" for this.
  5. Flex727
    If there are just two conditions (plus hidden, or nothing), just use "Binary Text / Switch" instead of list of texts.

    Gonna have to add my thanks to Joe. I still pull up that Help section on timers regularly to check what I'm doing. It is very well done.

    This may help you get started. Use "Data Tables Read Row" from the Data Tables drop-down to copy one row of your data table to a vector of MIs. Then use "SD Excel Utilities/Create Excel Delimited Line" from the SD drop-down.

    Ausman is a beast!

    Go to the USB tab on the Connection Settings box and have VisiLogic reinstall the driver, then note which Com Port is being utilized for the connection.

    When you say set it manually, do you mean that you stored the value of zero in SI 143? I'll say this, I'm impressed with your perseverance and troubleshooting skills. Thanks for returning to the forum with a solution.

    I've done this many times. All you need to do is Close the Socket, re-execute the MODBUS IP Configuration with the new attributes, then re-connect the Socket with the new attributes. I've never had any problem as long as I allow the few seconds if takes perform all the tasks. There is no need to restart the PLC. Edit: I see you're actually redefining the Protocol also. I've never tried that, but I suspect re-initializing the Socket and re-executing the Configuration block should work. The guys at support@unitronics.com should be able to give you a definitive answer on this.

    FYI, Cara, there is a typo in the link to the HMI Tricks and Tips Webinar - an "s" is missing from the end of the address. The correct link is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MwhQkdbC6s

    Use a positive transition contact attached to a Set coil. You will then need logic to Reset the coil at the appropriate time.

    There is a linearization function in the U90 Ladder, but it can be a bit confusing. Be sure to read the Help file carefully and you should be able to do it. If not, we'll try to help.

    Jamie123, in your situation you do not need to do export/import - just change the HW Configuration directly.
  16. Flex727
    While this will work when going from a Samba to a V350, it won't always work (for instance, when going from a color to a monochrome HMI). In that case one would need to export each subroutine and import each one into a new project with the correct PLC model selected.
  17. Flex727
    I've never seen the first one - perhaps a Watchdog Timer error? The second one is usually from a bad or disconnected cable that connects the PLC to the I/O modules.
  18. Flex727
    Sure, just change the PLC in the HW Configuration from Samba to V350 and select the appropriate I/O module. It will throw up a warning about deleting I/O, but ignore that.
  19. Flex727
    Okay, I'm stealing this.
  20. Flex727
    I rarely use the comms dropdown box, but I just checked and I see the same problem as Ausman. I am also still seeing the Modem box pop up randomly when I try to connect to the PLC over serial connection. When that happens the connection is dropped and cannot be restarted. FYI, this is using VisiLogic 9.8.31 and Windows 7 - 64-bit.
  21. Flex727
    Am I missing something, or is everything backwards in the linearization function block? Shouldn't it be: X1 - 3277 Y1 - 0 X2 - 16383 Y2 - 100 Maybe it doesn't matter, but seems very counterintuitive.
  22. Flex727
    Do not be sorry. That's what we're here for.
  23. Flex727
    Just create logic to do the same thing.
  24. Flex727
    Be sure to set the Powerup value to RESET for that bit. I've been burned by that and have learned my lesson.
  25. Flex727
    Which of the 3 types of timers are you using? Just working from memory, a new timer preset will not take effect until a timer coil is called in the ladder, or if a timer reset coil is activated. Are you certain the timer coil is actually being activated (i.e. is the subroutine being called, etc)?
