Hey All, I am working on finishing our program for a vision system using a V570. The only problem we seem to be running into right now is after a reset or powering down, we have to Initialize and reset for or sockets to want to connect again. Are we doing something wrong? Is there something I should be resetting with the power up? Thanks in advance. Nick

I got a better solution figured out. Thanks for the help!

Keith, I am using a 570 series. Is there anyway with that Password object I can add an image to it, so it looks like the rest of my buttons? I know it is probably a lot simpler than I am making it! Thanks for your help. Nick

Hey all.. Can anyone give me some insight on how to create a button with a password attached? I cannot seem to make a button with a password, only text password strings. I would like to have a button with an image that goes to a supervisor screen that is password protected. Yes, I know I am still a newbie! Thanks in Advance. Nick

Thanks for the response Joe! I called our distributor, and figured out my pointer was wrong. Simple fix! Thanks a lot!

Hey All.. I am looking for some tips or help with reading a row from a data table. To make a long story short, we are trying to compile a HIBC code to be output to a vision camera. I am doing a vector compare of the remainder of my calculation, and the column of the table I want to find the same value in. When they are matched, I am looking to use data from the same row in the column next to it. I cant seem to get the compare to find the value I have, in the data table. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance! Nick

We had a conference call with our Unitronics distributor, and got that all figured out. Next question...probably more simple... I have a number box that the scanned number goes into just fine now. I have keypad entry turned on. Is there anyway to make that box so I can enter numbers via keypad or have them come in through the scanner? Thanks in advance! Nick

Joe, Thanks for the heads up...one of my colleagues had pointed out I had an ASCII box instead of a Numeric Value box...thankfully an easy fix. Next issue...now that I have the 6 digit number scanning into an ML, I am having troubles getting this to Compare to a value in a data table. We have it setup now so you can manually enter a lot number and from the data table it will pulll a part number and rev. I am trying to make it so you can scan the barcode of the item number, and it will query the Data table, match the value, and pull the rest of the row in. I feel like I am close, but just can't quite get it! Thanks again! Nick

I can get it to directly output to an ML now as a number. When I go to display this number in a Text Box it shows up as h2*. What else am I doing wrong? Sorry...I'm a PLC newbie, and we are trying to complete someone else half finished project!

Thank you for the tips! @Keith- your way worked well! I got it to put together a full number, but not to display that in a text box, it shows up as an equation and not the number Any tips? @Emil I am working on getting your way to work. Am I thinking right that I need to scan the bar code, Save it to an ML, convert that ML ASCII to a number? Thanks again! Nick

Hey all... Probably a simple question that I am overlooking. We have a barcode scanner hooked up to our 570, and it is scanning and putting data where we need it. We are converting the ASCII characters to numbers and putting each number in an MI. How do I connect the 6 MI's with a single digit in them, to make 1 MI with a 6 digit number. Basically: MI 10= 5 MI 11=6 MI 12=9 MI 13=9 MI 14=6 MI 15=0 and I would like MI 16 to read 569960. I have been racking my brain for about 5 hours on this, and can't seem to get it quite right. Thanks in advance.
