[Utilities-Clock]

Hi Guys,

Hope you're all safe and doing well.

Is there a way to reset a memory float register to zero using the clock function under utilities.

I'm accumulating data from a flow meter into an MF register.

I need to reset the numbers in this register to zero at the end of every month.

How do i do that if its possible

Thanks

Mike.

[Flow Totalizer]

Hi all

I have ultrasonic flow meters with 4-20ma outputs installed on the discharge pipe of series of pumps one of which has a flowrate of 0.4 - 2.0 m3/h.

I have done the linearization and have the flowrate displayed on the HMI.

I'm faced with the challenge of calculating the total flow and displaying on the HMI as well in m3. Any assistance will be highly appreciated. I'm using vision 1210

Thanking you guys in advance.

Mike.

 

 

[DATA TABLE]

Thanks  very much Flex, Joe and DanT,

The clock function in the utilities drop down menu helped but my data table which an sending as an attachment via email

goes as a dat. file and could not be opened on smartphones etc. That's not a big issue anyway.

 

I read to remotely access/operate the plc (download programs) the plc needs to be assigned a static IP address.

I have made a request to my ISP to acquire a static IP. whiles waiting for that, I would like to know how to go about the process 

to communicate with my plc over the internet once I get the static IP. 

Couldn't find any webinar on this topic.

[DATA TABLE]

Hello, 

I have this values which am logging into the data table together with date and time stamp.

After writing to the data table, it will then be exported to SD card to be send as an attachment via email.

Can someone help me with an example program of how to trigger the data logging process every day at 6:00 am

and after one hour(7:00 am) trigger the send email function also? 

Thanks

Thanks soo much Flex. your help is really appreciated.

Now I can communicate between my pc and plc.

[V350 Communications with Ethernet]

Hello,

I am brand new to using Visilogic software and communications via LAN as a whole.

I have a V350-35-T2 PLC with a V100-17-ET2 Ethernet communications hardware installed.

I am trying to communicate to the PLC via PC.

I have never used Visilogic ladder logic I am implementing this to an existing program, and this is not my area of expertise.

Right now I have this logic (also attached): power up bit> SB ethernet: Card exists > PLC NAME > TCP/IP CARD INIT > TCP/IP SOCK INIT Socket 1

The local Ethernet connection is 192.169.168.27 IP 225.225.225.0 Subnet Mask and 192.169.168.168 Gateway. The PC IP is 192.169.168.46.

With this set up can i connect the plc to the router and access it with the PC using the wireless?

Do i have to assign the plc and pc different addresses, and where can i find them. Also where to i input the information in this logic, and then how to i access the plc remotely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i lack any knowledge in this area.

Thanks.

Hello,

Am also trying to communicate  between my PC and plc using the Ethernet. i got this Ethernet card V200-19-ET2 from unitronics just recently.

Am having similar logic like Joel's.....POWER UP BIT>PLC NAME>TCP/IP CARD INIT>TCP/IP SOCKET INIT (socket 1)

My Ethernet connection to PLC IP address is   192.168.2.6........sub net mask is   225.225.225.0.......default gateway is   192.168.2.1...

My PC is on same router with IP address  192.168.2.5.

Am having problem establishing communication between the two.

 

NOTE! am using DYNAMIC IP.   Could this be the reason?

I really need an expert assistance here. thanks guys

Yes Ausman.

Done that over and over again. kept arriving at same issue.

[How to initialize cinterion EHS6T 3G modem to send sms from vision 1210 to cell phones]

Hello all, i got this cinterion EHS6T modem recently to use for sms sending to cell phones.

According to the manual, am supposed to go to modem services in visilogic and with the modem connected to my pc,

 initialized the modem by preparing the plc modem. after which i connect the modem to the plc.

I followed all the steps but after connecting the modem to the plc, SB82 doesnt go high also SI82 stays 1(initialization in progress).

is there something am doing wrong here?

Need help.

[v1210 buzzer]

Hi greetings to everyone, does anyone knows if the V1210 has an internal buzzer?

Am programming a simple alarm condition for a control panel door, whenever the door is opened I want to sound the buzzer and display on the HMI (DOOR OPEN).

Thanks FLEX.

 That helped Solved my problem🙏

[EX RC1]

Hello  all,

I have programmed total run time for a pump stored in ML. Anytime this pump is serviced, I have an onscreen button to reset the time.

Whenever the time is reset, client wants that particular date to be captured and stored. And also display it on the HMI.

Is this possible and if yes, i could really use some help. Thanks guys.

Kind regards,

MIKEL.

 

 

[HMI DISPLAY]

Thanks Flex, that helps a lot.  nothing to worry about concerning elements on screen with touch property because there is none.

I may be incorporating some touch elements later, in that case CAM and KRATMEL's advice will take care of that.

Thank you all very much.

[HMI DISPLAY]

Hello guys,

is there a way to put my hmi screen to sleep in a certain period of time when there was no touch on the screen?

But to still keep my process or whatever running.

and also wakes it when the screen is touched... am using V1210

Need help.

Thanks very much.

[EX RC1]

Thanks soo much Flex. can't believe it was in my face the whole time😃.

I wish you guys a very HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

 

[EX RC1]

That is correct Joe I want to show total run time. I used SB13 powered by the pump to count up to 3600 secs which I then count as one(hour)

I've posted my code below.

one more issue bothering me,

Is there a way I can display the real time clock from the plc onto my hmi.

whenever screen is on I want to view the time in hh/mm/ss and also the date?

thanks Joe

Thanks very much Joe. 

I was able to resolve my EX RC1  issue. 

Need your help, on how to display accumulated time for a pump in a plant. (programmed to turn on and off). I am using visilogic

[EX RC1]

Hello guys,

Can someone help me with step by step how to program the ex rc1 to communicate with v1210?

I downloaded a program in the ex rc1 which is working perfect but how do I make it communicate with the v1210 controller?

I've searched for examples and links regarding this particular issue but to no avail.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

[I/O EXPANSION]

Sorry I've been away for a while.

you are right Flex,  module selection was poor. 

I also agree with AUSMAN.  The larger I/o modules need to be promoted more.

Thanks to you all.

[I/O EXPANSION]

Thanks Ausman, am having a look at the EX-RC1.

 

Thanks Sasdiscos, I actually thought of the snap-in I/o but I do not have one currently.

I have to order it from my agent and its gonna take a while before it reaches me. but thanks for your suggestion.

 

Hi Flex, am working with 30x digital inpts, 20x digital outpts, 20x 4-20ma analog inpts, 3 RTD's and 10x analog outpts.

am using 2x IO-DI16

                    2x IO-TO16

                    3x IO-AI8

                    1x IO-PT400 and

                     2x IO-AO6X

which takes my I/o modules to a total of 10.

                       

 

                      

                   

 

[I/O EXPANSION]

Hi everyone,

Am new here and new to unitronics also.

I currently purchased the  vision 1210 which I wanted to use for simulation.

Am using the EX-A2X I/O Expansion module adapter snap mounted on a Din rail.

Read a single adapter can connect up to 8 I/o modules only. 

is it possible to connect more than one Expansion adapters to oplc to enable me to use more I/o modules?

if yes how?

Thanks guys.
