[Jazz communication problem]

Finnaly I found the solution for users who use virtal machines, especially VMWare workstation.

After removing Printer from VM settings, which occupies serial port 1 (and thinprint driver), everything works.

There is a conflict between Jazz communication and VMware virtual printer driver.

Thanks a lot. I will.

And I also would like if someone have fast tips about weighing to share here.

[Loadcell module IO LCx]

Hi all.

I have never before used load cell modules from Unitronics. 

Do I need some external application for settings the module, calibration etc. Or it can be done via Visilogic???

 

Best regards,

MK

Hi all,

 

How to copy, memory long integers (32bit) to memory integer (16bit)?

 

Or, how to split memory long integer to two memory integers?

 

Thanks in advance

I figure it out. I use COPY MEMORY function to do it...

[Analog input modul IO-AI8, range]

4 minutes ago, Flex727 said:

Yes, you are correct. I've also found it a bit confusing at times as some of the Unitronics modules give the full range for 4-20mA (like the Siemens you describe). But the IO-AI8 definitely shows a value of 3277 at 4mA in Normal Mode.

Thanks a lot.

And what about out of ranges values?!

[Analog input modul IO-AI8, range]

19 minutes ago, Flex727 said:

In Normal Mode, it has 14-bit resolution, so the 4-20mA range is 3277-16383. In Fast Mode, it has 12-bit resolution, so the 4-20mA range is 819-4095.

All the technical specs for the Unitronics PLCs and I/O modules are readily available on the Unitronics website.

Thanks a lot.

I use normal mode. So if I put in HW configuratio 4-20mA analog input minimum is 3277, and maximum is 16383.

I was little bit confused, because on Siemens if you put 4mA in HW config, minimum raw value is 0. But here it is 3277.  Right?

 

And what about out of ranges, I read it was -1 or 16384 or 32767?!

Thanks a lot.

[Analog input modul IO-AI8, range]

Hi all.

I have this module, and in HW configuration foa analog inputs is set 4-20mA, jumpers on module are put on B.

What is the analog input range for rhe PLC 0-16384 or 3277-16383 or something 3rd?!

 

I'm not sure from the manual what is the range.

Plc is V130 with expansion module IO-AI8.

 

Thanks in advance

[Modbus TCP Slave]

Ethernet issues on site...

I downloaded my programm via serial cable. Ethernet card initialized...Sockets stay as default. Socket 2 for modbus tcp communication port 502, and Socket 1 for PC access port 20256. But when I try to ping ip address that not works?!

Also when try Communication & OS set ip address of plc, port and name, but it is always shows error message.

 

In Info Mode for Socket 1 stay: Initialized and not connected, status 20.

Update the O/S (firmware) in the PLC. The instructions on how to do that are in the error message you posted.

Thanks Flex.

I tried with newer OS which I have and this error message appears.

I suspect that maybe eth. card is damaged.

If eth. card is undamaged it will shows in Info mode?!

[Ethernet card not supported by this OS]

When I go to info mode ->Ethernet 

No Ethernet card

 

[Ethernet card not supported by this OS]

 

This is the message which appears...

 

I tried with older OS, but then also have another error message...

[Ethernet card not supported by this OS]

Hi all.

I have problem with one v430. When try to download programm this message appears:

...ethernet card not supported by this OS version...

VisiLogic version 9.6...

Same program installed on 3 of 4 PLCs...only with one PLC I have problem...

[V430 images, takes to long to download]

I tried with serial 57600 bps, and alaso with ethernet (ethernet card installed) but it takes more than 30min...

I will try your suggestion...

[V430 images, takes to long to download]

Hi all, I have VisiLogic v9.3 on win10 OS.

It works good in general.

When doing  plc OS update also goes ok.

But when downloading images it takes too long...why? Is there another way to download images.

I use only two images from library but download is very very slow...

In all likelihood the bit goes from 0 to 1 and back to 0 too fast for you to see. The Function in Progress bit is how you check to see if communication is active.

I tried to count FiP bit on rising edge, but value of counter is also 0. 

I will try with FiP and some timer to check communication.

[Modbus TCP Slave]

Hi all.

I have one more question about Modbus TCP Slave.

First, Thanks a lot to all for previous comments and help. I made communication as you suggest and it works very well.

 

Now, how to know that MODBUS TCP lave communication is active. Data transfer works. To check some counter from client device or Unitronics MODBUS IP block have it?

When I debugging  output bit Function In Progres is always 0, but my communication works good...

[Vision v430 with VFD via Modbus RTU]

Ooooouhhh sorry,

I exceeded value for one register.

Everything is OK!!!

[Vision v430 with VFD via Modbus RTU]

Hi all.

When I  do PHR16 to VFD, everything work but status message is 11? WHY?

I write two words -1- control word -2- speed as word VFD start to work, but message on Unitronics raised.

In documentation it says: Master-slave data  incorrectly synchronized

 

[Modbus TCP Slave]

Great...

Thanks a lot for explanation.

When you say all the reads and all writes, you mean for 4 device or more?!

What if we need read/write from different locations addresses which is not in seqence? Can we call more RHR whit different addresses in one requst?

And what is the situation with MODBUS RTU, is the rule same as here or sequencing is required?!

[Modbus TCP Slave]

Thanks a lot. I tried localy and everithing works great.

What is the general practice for realizing MODBUS TCP?

What if I have to do multiple read/write to several devices? 

At the same time to send request for read/write is not possible as I know? So the sequencing is the key.

Possibly solutions:

1. Realize read / write for several devices in sequence. 1. read 1st dev -> 2. write 1st device -> 3. read 2nd device etc.

2. Realize read for several devices in sequence. Write will be done on request. Sample: 1. read 1st -> read 2nd -> read 3rd -> write request for 6th device generated -> stop reading -> write to 6th device -> read 4th -> read 5th

Sorry, I change Network ID in MODBUS_IP_CONFIG from number 255 to number 1. 

I am outside from the local network, connected via VPN, and to Unitronics ethernet card.

I put parallel contac with SB2, and set it. After taht can not establish connection. I can ping PLC but can't go online.

Sorry I have parrallel contact with SB2. When I was online I changed Network ID, and than Set that Contact. After it I lost connection...
