    Search this forum for RTC to ASCII UDFB.

    I've got customers that can't grasp the concept of an All-in-one and simply refer to it as the HMI. I think the HMI Controller terminology would be something they could understand better.

    Thanks @AlexUT. The limitation is not a Unitronics limit, but is a function of FAT32 addressing. There are workarounds in Windows, but not in PLCs.

    Good to hear! Thanks for letting us know.

    It's not a matter of optimal - it's a matter of the PLC being able to handle such a large capacity card. I haven't checked to see what the limit might be for the UniStream hardware, but I would be certain that it would handle 32GB or lower. Just grab a 32 or 16GB card and see if you can get it to work. They're cheap and it would be an easy test. Is there some reason why you must use a 128GB card? You can also check with support@unitronics.com to see if they see any problem with a 128GB card.

    Have you tried a lower capacity card?

    You change the value of those two System Bits in Ladder to perform the buzzer functions indicated in the description. They do not "go high" unless the software causes it.

    Did you check the box for Keypad Entry?
  9. Flex727
    Did you check the Help file? Go to Contents/HMI Screen Editor/HMI Elements/Text Elements/HE: Password

    Use "PID Autotune" function blocks, not "PID".

    #1 - Do NOT place multiple logic threads in a single ladder rung. #2 - It appears that you are not using the Timer correctly. Here is the Help entry for the On Delay Timer you are using. You must use the Out bit. If you are still not understanding, ask a specific question and we will help you.

    Use a TE Timer and activate it with a positive transition.
  13. Flex727
    Did you look at the Help file? The example is for an older PLC, but the basics are the same. When you place the Timer HMI element on the screen, link to the timer operand you want, check the Preset box, and the Keypad Entry box. Also, set up the Format and other niceties for your HMI element. That's all there is.

    Not 100% certain, but I believe you can. You must use the correct connection cable though. By the way, the direct replacement for the EX-A1 is the EX-A2X, not the EX-RC1. The EX-RC1 connects to the PLC using CanBus and is a REMOTE expansion adapter. The EX-A2X is a LOCAL expansion adapter, like the EX-A1.

    Just place the circled item on the HMI: You will need a separate one for each of Date & Time.
  16. Flex727
    This is good advice.
  17. Flex727
    You would run a timer activated by an inverted contact of the General.Touched bit. Use the Out bit of the timer to trigger an Action to change screen brightness.
  18. Flex727
    Somehow that got past me. Yep, agree that it was warranted.
  19. Flex727
    Not seeing the sensible reason here, but that doesn't mitigate the issue with the new software. What Ausman is asking here is did you install VisiLogic "as Administrator" and did you run VisiLogic "as Administrator"?
  20. Flex727
    You appear to be using Data Table Indexed. There is a function for "Insert Row to DTI" that automatically shifts the rows down below the point of insertion.
  21. Flex727
    You're right of course, but that's what the positive transition contact is for.
  22. Flex727
    Better to use the "Release" function of the HMI button to reset the bit.
  23. Flex727
    If you look at the top comment line of the RTC to ASCII UDFB, it explains what the numbers mean. It's basically selecting which format style you want your Time and Date strings to be in.
  24. Flex727
    Having difficulty understanding what you're trying to do. Can you post your code?
  25. Flex727
    You're on the right track using the UDFB RTC to ASCII. Just place a line like this in your Main Routine: Then copy those operands over to your Data Table Struct triggered by a positive transition of your button press. You will also need to index the Data Table down a line each time.
