What, like you never had a runaway bit. Have to keep them contained.  

LOL!

I'm going to say this program wins the all-time award for most creative use of element connecting lines. Here is my favorite:

[TCP_RAW connection with V130]

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Thank you for letting us know the resolution!

[Single Push Button On/Off]

One piece of advice: DO NOT place multiple separate logic threads in a single ladder rung. Move that second line in rung 10 to the next rung. The whole point of ladder rungs in ladder logic is to separate logic threads for the compiler.

By the way, what's the purpose of adding and subtracting 5?

Public IP for gateway

What is this? Gateway typically refers to the internal IP address of the router. Computers (and your PLC) would use the gateway address to know where to send data for the router to translate for the internet.

If you don't already have a good understanding of the difference between public IPs and private IPs, I recommend that you do a search on "difference between private and public IPs". None of the IP addresses assigned for private networks (such as 192.168.xxx.xxx) can be directly accessed from the internet. You can also look up "network address translation" to help understand what the router does to cross the bridge between private and public IPs.

[Single Push Button On/Off]

I don't understand what "M0", "M1", "Output", or the timer are for, but a single pushbutton on/off requires NO ladder logic at all. The button itself (unless it's a physical pushbutton connected to a digital input instead of an on-screen button) can be programmed to toggle an output, and other things, without any ladder logic.

If it is a physical button, be aware that there is a Toggle Coil available to simplify things.

[Unitronic Remote Monitoring]

Then you need to enter the WAN (internet) IP address into your PC or phone connection, not 192.168.0.1.

[Unitronic Remote Monitoring]

Is any of this connected to the internet, or is it two internal networks with only wifi connection?

Actually, there is a way to have a psuedo-popup window. 

It's done using a little-known and poorly documented system bit - SB 25 - "Do not draw display background".

This is great! I will definitely be putting this to use.

[New to Unlogic's need help connection PC to PLC]

Your information is a little sparse here for anyone to provide any useful help. Which PLC model? What happens when you try to connect with USB? Have you tried using a different cable? Have you tried reinstalling the driver? For Ethernet, what is the IP address of the computer and the IP address of the PLC? Are they on the same subnet? Are you using either a crossover cable or an Ethernet hub?

[How to create a pop up warning message]

No, the Vision PLCs do not support pop up windows. Why are you opposed to changing screens? If you are clever about it, you can make a screen that has the exact appearance of a pop up window and nobody would know the difference.

[Math Functions Execution Speed]

That's good to know, @kratmel! I didn't realize Vision could monitor in units of micro-seconds (or even tens of micro-seconds).

[Math Functions Execution Speed]

I've never seen this data, but it should be fairly easy to determine empirically. Load a blank program into a PLC, check the scan time, add 10 or maybe even 100 rungs with the float math function you're interested in, then check the scan time again.

The scan time is 13 mSec

That's much better than I thought it would be based on your description.

What is the scan time on such a large program?

We must know this!

Also, I can't imagine the work involved in migrating this over to UniStream. Some of your issues will be solved, but you will definitely be looking like Isakovic's profile picture before you're through.

Out of space?

I only transfer data between the units using the row 0 currently. Rows 1-10 are not used at this time.

This makes me wonder why you're using a Data Table at all.

[Data table having random values written to it.]

You might consider posting your programs here for us to see if there are any problems.

[V430 Ethernet "No Link for Ethernet Connection"]

I'm leaving this up because it does provide some useful troubleshooting info.

[Example V570 program, Natural Gas Compression Unit]

The HW Configuration section allows you to select which PLC (and I/O) for your project. If you go to Help / Examples..., you will find many example projects to help you learn. Additionally, Unitronics has a great many YouTube videos that explain the basics.

[Continuous increment button]

Yep, I gave the simplest example to solve the stated problem. What Aus says is really what most people do, such as adjusting the time on a digital clock, etc. This example increments the value with each press, but after holding for 3 sec, it will increment about 3 times per sec.

[Continuous increment button]

Use a direct contact and a self-resetting timer to increment the register:

This will increment your value every second the button is pressed. Change the timer value to increment faster or slower.

[Connecting a laptop to a V120 with only RJ11 ports?]

The correct part number you need is RS232-CB1, which includes the cable and the MJ10-22-CS25 adapter.

[UNISTREAM RESTART FROM LADDER LOGIC]

This is another feature available in the Vision series, but not available with UniStream (at least as of the last time I asked). It's a feature that needs to be added.

[Compare project file to online program Visilogic]

You can go into INFO Mode to see the file name of the downloaded program. If it matches the file name you have offline then you might have some assurance they are the same.
