Hi Flex, 

My tree window was completely hidden on the left panel.... didn't even know it was there. I got it now, and now it is much easier to work with than before

 

Thanks!

Hi Aus,

Thanks for the response. When you say search facility, do you mind CTRL+F to bring up the find function? When I do this it won't find anything unless the word I am searching for is on the page. Or is there another utility that I am missing? 

Thanks for those links! Tons of stuff there to dig into. Additionally, if you happen to be an oldie with a PDF and care to share, it would be much appreciated!

Hi Joe, 

Thanks for the response. Its a bummer though that you can search the help unless the word you are searching for is on that exact page opened. I tried to look for STL quick view in the help and couldn't find how to read it / interpret it. If it doesn't scan like AB, what is its order of operation for scanning? I couldn't find that in the help either unfortunately.. which is why I was hoping for a programming manual on how the PLC operates.

Hello All, 

I have a couple questions I have searched google and the forum for but have yet to find answers.

 

1.) All I see for my Unitronics Vision 350 PLC/HMI is an installation document. Is there a programming manual for this PLC anywhere? Or is there another resource on questions like how the PLC scans, how to use the programming IDE, etc?

2.) I am getting a warning 1209: "Changing a bit value and then reading the value in the same net is not recommended." If I do this, will it still work? I come from Allen Bradley. What I am doing is having debounce timers and reading the done bit in order to move to the next step in the sequence. However, I don't want to split this up into two rungs and then I am scanning two rungs for 1 step. 

 

Thanks for the help!

@Flex727 Thank you very much for that information. Opening from the application worked. Blessings. 

[Old saved project opens up as "Untitled"]

Hey everyone,

This is my first time using this software and I have hit a snag already. I am on a new project and need to use a previously designed projects code as my template. However, when I open the old project it opens as "Untitled" and nothing is in the project. Is this because I downloaded a newer version and this software is not backwards compatible? Any help would be great, thanks!
