Yes, add a line after your linearization blocks, as follows, should do it:

You can only have one version of VisiLogic properly installed at a time. Version Swapper will allow you to install multiple versions and run them. While you can have the files available for multiple versions of VisiLogic, you need Version Swapper to switch between them. I think there's a sticky post in this forum to explain it. Post again if you can't figure it out.

Do you use Version Swapper?

You are correct, JohnR!

Gabriel Franco & JohnR: Keep in mind that your suggestions only work with direct coils. Set coils will require the extra logic the OP is referring to.

There are some distributors on here that might be able to suggest the absolutely cheapest solution, but (depending on what protocol you need) I would use a Samba SM35 with an Ethernet card. If you must use EtherNet/IP, then there is a 5" UniStream.

The vector copy function would make that fairly easy.

Check your device manager to make sure you are using the correct serial port. The port selected in VisiLogic must match what is in the Device Manager.
Are you using USB to connect? Have you installed the device driver for USB to serial from VisiLogic?

No, that isn't possible. If you think about it - how would the PLC know you pressed the button to return to Run mode if it was stopped? You can place the PLC into Stop or Run mode via INFO Mode if you want.
If your purpose in placing the PLC into Stop Mode is to prevent certain I/O, then you can program that into ladder with a button for your pseudo-stop function. -
On your HMI timer there is a field called "Legal Entry". Link a MB to that field. That MB will turn on for one cycle after an entry is made to the timer preset. Use that MB to reset your timer.

I think there is an issue with USB and V350's
Perhaps you have a hardware problem with that particular PLC. I have a V350 sitting on my desk right now that I regularly connect to with USB.

Do it from the PLC screen.

Sorry, I meant did you TRY putting it into Factory Boot or Bootstrap Mode then downloading your program or firmware update.

Flex- Interesting what a little joke dredges up......
Yep - one of the best things about this forum.

My copy of the book arrived. Can't wait to dig into it!

+1 Joe. MLs are especially difficult to deal with without commas.

In all of my other HMI programming software packages, selecting a comma is as simple as checking a checkbox.
Life is always a trade-off. Every software has advantages and disadvantages.

Read the help section on Timers. Lots of great detailed information there.

I haven't used a 7" Samba yet, but I've never seen a Unitronics PLC come with the battery already installed.
-
There is a UDFB that helps with this. I can't remember where to find it so I'll just attach my copy here.

Have you tried increasing your timeout parameters?

A user interface is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it isn't that good.

Yes, just substitute an MB for the I 0 in the example above. Then link the MB to a button on the HMI. You can use either a regular pushbutton for momentary contact, or use a Binary Switch with the Toggle function checked.
