[Simple Serial Read From Load Cell via RS232]

Alexander, he needs a VisiLogic solution, not UniLogic.

[Backlight off]

Nevertheless, it would be ideal (for me and others too I think ) if we could get complete control over the backlight, from 0-100%, by ladder.

 

Yes, please! Unitronics developers, this needs attention.

[VisiLogic and Windows 10]

However, now that UAC is disabled win10-apps are not working any longer

 

I would think that you could re-enable UAC after VisiLogic is installed.

[automate Daylight saving time]

Write your Congressman to get rid of the abomination that is Daylight Saving Time!

[Vision I/O]

Is there a reason there is an EX-D16A3-TO16 but no EX-D16A3-RO16?

[MODBUS IP Communications]

Thanks, Alexander.

[MODBUS IP Communications]

Is there a plan to allow updating the IP address for a MODBUS IP slave PLC through ladder or operator interaction? In other words, if IT makes a change to the IP addressing, I want the customer to be able to make the update without me having to provide a program update (something easily done in VisiLogic).

 

Bumping this in the hope of getting an answer to my second question. Currently the IP address of a UniStream PLC can be changed by an operator, but if the PLC is addressing a MODBUS Slave, and the Slave's address is changed, the address the Master is using to communicate with the slave cannot be changed except by the programmer. Is there a plan to improve this?

[New v700]

It appears to be working properly for me now, thanks. I went to that page on the first day it went live. Perhaps the problem was corrected right away and I was left with the bad link in cache.

[MODBUS IP Communications]

Thanks! Got it working well. Is there a plan to allow updating the IP address for a MODBUS IP slave PLC through ladder or operator interaction? In other words, if IT makes a change to the IP addressing, I want the customer to be able to make the update without me having to provide a program update (something easily done in VisiLogic).

[UniLogic "Opened tabs limit reached."]

Wonderful! Thanks again, Cara.

[New v700]

I got there from this page: http://www.unitronics.com/plc-hmi/product-overview and clicking on the v700 picture. I see now that the problem is somebody left the hyphen off the hyperlink on the Product Overview page.

[New v700]

Is anyone else just getting a blank page when they go to http://www.unitronics.com/plc-hmi/v700? I'm trying to get some more information about this new product but the link is failing for me.

[UniLogic "Opened tabs limit reached."]

Thanks, Cara. Hope you had a great vacation!

[Read/Write Mixed Data function]

Thank you, Ofir!

[UniLogic "Opened tabs limit reached."]

I keep getting this error during the final stages of program development where I'm looking at several different screens and ladder modules. Dealing with this error is a pain and is unnecessary. How about having UniLogic automatically close the oldest tab any time the limit is reached?

[MODBUS IP Communications]

When using VisiLogic, I monitor and display system operands SB 143-150 and SDW 14-21 to know that communications are proceeding as expected. Is there any equivalent in UniLogic? How can I know that MODBUS IP communications are working properly (i.e. connected and exchanging data)?

[Read/Write Mixed Data function]

I notice that the Unitronics MODBUS communications function, "Read/Write Mixed Data", crashes the communications if I try to use it between a Vision controller and a UniStream controller. This is a VERY handy function and I'm wondering if there are any plans to make the UniStream compatible with this function.

[Timer (TON function) problem after power cycle]

ofer.yishai, I've found a workaround to the timer bug. The timers are being triggered on the Initial Ladder Cycle when active on bootup. If you place an inverted contact for "General.Ladder Initial Cycle" in front of the timer logic, then the timer will behave as it should (reset on bootup without triggering the Out bit, and continue timing).

[String entry keyboard]

Done.

[Timer (TON function) problem after power cycle]

I seem to be seeing an issue with the TON function. Any timer that is running when the PLC gets power cycled or rebooted will immediately trigger when the PLC comes back on. The timers are set for "Retained". Shouldn't they just continue timing from where they left off?

[String entry keyboard]

The string entry keyboard needs a lot of work. Pressing the CAPS LOCK key does nothing other than turn on a little green light. It appears that one must press the SHIFT key first, then the CAPS LOCK key after to get a caps lock. No keyboard in the world operates this way. If the CAPS LOCK key is not actually on, then the little green light should NOT be lit. Also, pressing the SHIFT key shifts the numeric keys - that's fine, but the CAPS LOCK should NOT shift the numeric keys - just like real computer keyboards.

 

Frankly, I'd like to see the keyboard default to all caps (i.e. CAPS LOCK ON) with the numeric keys available. In that case, pressing the CAPS LOCK key would allow access to lower case, which are seldom used.

[ASCII String to MI?]

How about that! The Copy Tag to Buffer / Copy Buffer to Tag trick worked perfectly.

 

Thanks, Alexander!

[ASCII String to MI?]

Sounds good - I'll give it a try.

[ASCII String to MI?]

Thanks, Alexander! That's sounds a bit cumbersome. Is it possible to just convert the ASCII string to 16-bit integers (two characters per integer) and then transfer over to the V1210 as registers? From there convert back to character form?

[ASCII String to MI?]

Bump -

 

Any idea what the 3rd entry is for the String To Numeric function?
