Try to use older version visilogic to download blank project. Try to use external usb to com converter for connection. Try to load the same project without any images (displays). Check all V700 power supply connection. As i see flash memory maybe corrupt :(

Yes you are right! When i seen this machine at first time Leds optical filter was dismounted and cardboard and duct tape is used. Maybe i make metal box with small depth and flip door. It must be used for hide old plc hole and protect JAZZ. Thanks

Hi everyone I need to retrofit old high power UV lamp control system. Original PLC is broken. Old system Led optical filter is completely damaged (maybe by indirect UV). Now Jazz PLC must be installed. Operator change program on machine and switch on process from remote control. Question how to protect PLC from high power indirect UV light. Mount panel on remote position? Hide by door? Any ideas?

Maybe this help to configure I/O... http://support.unitronics.com/index.php?/selfhelp/view-article/How-do-I-add-and-configure-IO-modules

Something with ABB modbus is wrong .... Since this is only software starters, their management requires a maximum of 9 outputs (on-off control) and 9 (alarm) or 18 inputs (alarm + normal operation-end of speed rump). You may need to drop modbus from the list and use the unitronics I/O expansion modules. By the way, maybe you have wiring issue I did not know how to check the ports momentarily stops. Maybe transmission is not hardware buffered and only software data flow control used (interrupted by screen change). Or screen change command is active for to long time.

I try to find information about PSTX ABB and see parameter list with communication settings. 12.09 - settings for communication speed, Also find some note in https://library.e.abb.com/public/fb83d05d73254c8aa813385bcc6be6f5/1SFC132089M0201.pdf Note : If there is no message passed between the PSTX softstarter and the Modbus RTU master for more than 100ms, the PSTX softstarter will trip on fieldbus communication failure protection (P1E00) and with the default configuration, the motor will be stopped. If the fieldbus communication system is setup in such a way that commands/requests are not continuously passed between the PLC and softstarter, this protection function should be disabled. The parameter 19.4 (Fieldbus failure op) can then be set to "Off".

I have to keep a zoo of computers with old operating systems: 1) Siemens PG710 8086 CPU and MS-DOS 5.0 for simatic S5 cartridges. 2) P233 + Windows 95 for the old ROM programmer. 3) celeron 800 + win 98 for ABB robots, 4) fujitsu siemens IPP + WinXP - for all old servo, VFD, PLC, Jazz and M91. 5) core i5 + win10 - for the rest of the programs and drivers who can not swim.:) Everyone except No. 5 does not need or is not updated at all, but it is always in work condition and bring benefits to me. Microsoft update is small worm that must eat something for dinner.?

Is it COM init block (visilogic like ) used for communication with modem? Maybe RS232 timeout error generate "Time Out " message. If RS232 timeout default settings is 0.5sec - correct long time transmission is impossible. In visilogic is recomended to setup above 6sec timeout reply time. But i didn't find any suggestion for UniLogic .

What USB adapter (chip in adapter) is used? Some chip has strange behavior while long file transmission. Try to change to another type. For me - the best is well known FTDI and china CH340 chip.

I also tried to implement a similar system. However, it was slightly different. The presence sensor of an object in the camera zone has activated the recognition process. Then the camera signaled - the correct object or not. If we have a signal about an incorrect object - the PLC at that moment recorded how many impulses need to be calculate to the point when it is necessary to remove it from the flow. At this point there was a mechanism of throwing object away. That is, the PLC does not do anything until it receives a signal that you want to remove the object. The other part of the algorithm (shift register for bad object) worked like yours.

Hi, Visco You described the algorithm of the system with a VFD. I usually use the VFD internal option to control the brake. The brake active when the VFD reaches zero speed and there is no command to move in the forward or reverse direction. This eliminates the problems of controlling the VFD in different modes, for example, JOG, FIXED SPEED. No need to control the brakes with the PLC. This is especially useful when lifting or lowering some part of the mechanisms. However, the VFD must be able to control the brakes.

Please check speed and settings in normal mode and try to change them in boot. In boot mode my V570 connect to PC only in specific com settings. Maybe battery problem possible to.

You can increase the accuracy by increasing the number of bolts on the motor shaft. Use 6 bolts and you will have accuracy of approximately 10 turns per minute. However, make sure that the sensor has the appropriate frequency range. Or use an optical sensor and a perforated wheel. Using a 2.5ms interrupt to determine the sensor signal period will not increase the accuracy of the readings. It is also possible to use your sensor, diode, RC link, and send a signal to the analog input of the PLC. This is not very accurate, but this solution has advantages. A similar scheme is used in tachometers of old cars.

You must build minimal Canopen configuration based on BK5110 (used only one of IO module). Please read https://download.beckhoff.com/download/document/io/bus-terminals/bk51x0en.pdf page 114 about canopen configuration for this type of coupler. Then use Visilogic help with CANopen sample code to build CANopen net step by step . Only after succesfull run CAN you must add another exp. modules and try to read https://download.beckhoff.com/download/document/io/bus-terminals/kl306xen.pdf page 29 about memory mapping for analog input . In that way i tryed to build my first CANopen with Lenze servo. Now it looks like simple for me, but at start i had the same problem. Best regard Roman

Please read some rules from this two documents: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/1770-in041_-en-p.pdf http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/drives-in001_-en-p.pdf I think that problem came with PLC power supply grounding. Please try to temporary separate OPLC power supply . Power them from battery backed UPS (Disconnect grounding of PS) Maybe you will see where is problem - electromagnetic noise or vibration. Also check the VFD specification - is it embedded noise filter present inside the VFD. Generaly this type of problem is in incorrect grounding of vfd + motor + equipment chasis. P.S. Please check position of noise filter enable switch inside VFD box. It present in all VFD.

Thanks to Joe Tauser. Support team answer came to me immediately. But now it is impossible to make custom design for embedded alarm window. I solved the problem. Custom hand made alarm display design with big messages and standard history window is used now.

I try to use large font 14 or 18 in alarm window message description. Alarm message is written above standard line with applied font any other changes not possible. It look like impossible to make custom design for embedded alarm window.

Hi, I try to build project with new V700 panel. Large display make possible to use large buttons and fonts visble for user without glasses . Application in V700 is disigned for users with age above 50. But alarm display in V700 has small font and little buttons. Stylus must be used. It is hard to use V700 alarm display without magnification or glasses. Is it possible to switch font or resize embedded to V700 alarm display buttons?
