The driver is on my laptop is displaying Prolific USB to serial com port (com 8) the driver date is 25/07/2005, version 2.0.2.1 Is this the correct device?. One of the previous helpers said the I may need to get the MJ10-22-CS35 from unitronics. Is this correct. Bearing in mind that the controller is easily 10 years old and getting a bit battered. Peter.

I have an SM70 +bits and the visilogic work fine on it. The difference is that it used the mini USB where the v230 uses 6 pin RJ connector . peter.

I have a Vision 230. Model No. V230-13-B20B with an I/O module No. V200-18-E1B. The unit is 10yrs old +. I have need to replace the controller as the operators have over the years destroyed the front, with like for like but I cannot communicate with it to extract the project/program. I have to use port 1 (RJ plug) and I have used the RS232 straight into the laptop and the RS232 to USB with no success. I have tried all the possible port and baudrates with the same result. Some of the baudrates /port take longer to fail than others that are instant. I have increased the number of tries and timeout. I suspect the port may have failed. Your help will be most gratefully received. Peter

Think I have got it sussed. I like these self contained units. I have never used them before. I will use them again for small applications. Thank you all. No doubt I will be calling on your expertise again in the future. Thank you all Peter.

Hi All. Ref to previous posts, I cannot find any examples of the problem I am having. I cannot find a way of resetting the encoder count to zero before restart. The line is a cut to length so it has to start at zero. It can do this when the cutter is fired. Thanks. Peter.

Thank you all for your help. Dan t's solution did the trick. I have the encoder input going into a STI (ML) with the shaft encoder into the ML0, ML1 is blank?. I am picking up ML0 into a A=B block with ML2 set as the target. The machine is a cut to length so when the guillotine cut to size the shaft encoder count needs to zero. I have never used these units before so it twisting me head. I have used mitsubisi, siemens and other controllers so sequencing and logic is not new to me. If I can get the hang of these controllers then there are other applications they will be used on. Thanks again to all Peter

I am rebuilding the controller of the line. My problem is that I need to install the length measureing with a 2500 ppr that countes up and down so I need to use both channel A and B. I cannot get the controller (SM70-J-RA22) to do its thing on the display. What ever I do the count just constantly increasese when input 0 or 1 is switched on. Am I programming it right or is this the wrong device for this job?. You help would be appreciated. It is a clever bit of kit so it should do it. Thank you for your help.
