Hi, I have updated to the new version UniLogic 1.22.13, and i have a problem. When opening a page with an Trend viewe i get an error message, "HMI Overload". The program was an updated from UniLogic 1.18.60 to UniLogic 1.22.13. Fix?

Hi, I am new to this. Is it possible to change button color via ladder? Or after pressing it to change color? (for example I want ON/OFF button to change text and color... or maybe just color to indicate it's on or off) Also is it possible to change attributes at all via ladder? I know there is a way to hide a button and show another one of differnet color, but that's not what I want...

Hi Again, I'm sure I'll have lots of these questions, using the 'Numeric Box' keyboard. Is there a way to have it zoomed in all the time? Because as soon as power down and then back up again the keypad is back to being small. I'm using the 7" UniStream Thanks, Don

OK, I'm working on my first UniLogic program, more or less I'm trying to adapt everything that I have done on a VisiLogix program over to UniLogic. I have a Button on a display on level 2 and using it's visibility bit I unhide the button on layer 2 when a box count is reached. I want to be able to reset the My Box Full counter INT16, but I don't see that capability in the Actions (Collection) for the button. Any Ideas, On how I can do this? Thanks, Don

Just curious if anybody else has experienced this issue. I have an HMI button that needs to be "pressed & held" to run a process. The button is setting a bit on "press" and resetting the bit on "release". This all works fine, except in the case of an "action" causing an HMI change while the button is pressed, this causes the button to never release, or at least the bit never gets reset. My ladder code has to monitor for an HMI change and reset the bit when this happens, which seems a bit clunky compared to how smooth most things operate with Unistream. Or am I missing something simple.... Allen

Hi, Is it possible somehow to edit the graphics in the UniPic library? They cannot simply be edited in an image editor, because they are watermarked. I want to use some of the pump icons, but add different colors etc. Also, is it possible to add or edit the so called widgets, like the tanks?

I'm looking for a cheap solution to have a little HMI display connected to a Control Logix PLC through Ethernet. The HMI is for a remote offloading station and there is little to display or control as the hardwired controls are already in place. The display would be mostly to indicate if the offload pumps were inhibited or not and which alarms that affected the pumps were active. My problem is that Rockwell discontinued their mini displays or will during this year (this is for an external application) and the HMI's available that are tiny seem to be "locked" into Compactlogix or the Micro800 series. Any advice on brands that would do such a device?

Dears All, just a quick question...I create 3 screens: MAIN, secondary A and secondary B. Main can "load" one of the secondary screnns by two buttons that include the "load screen" action (no retained bit to load the screens). If during a test in the PLC I select a secondary screen and I found that some modification is needed in the program and I done these modification and I do "download all" ...what should be the screen that I have to see in the PLC after the reboot?...main or the secondary where I was? I done this question because the screen that I have, after the reboot by "download all" is the secondary; if I turn OFF and ON the PLC I have the MAIN as first. thanks

Hello, I'm programming a table and I would like to have like a drop down menu containing food which, when the type is selected like " bananas" it is wrote in the table. It's like a predefined menu containing predefined types . I'm using UniLogic so is it possible ? ( an other question : is it possible to store a table with a name and then "increment" its name when storing the following table ( Data_Table_01 then Data_Table_02 ... ) Thanks

Good day, Is it possible to reference a string tag for which file to view in the PDF Viewer? We have thousands of PDF's I will FTP the current PDF part drawing to the SD card and delete the last PDF part drawing. I believe I can just use a Rename File and overwrite a "sacrificial" PDF file name then reference that for the PDF viewer but wanted to know if their was a better way. Thanks. -Swervomotor

Hello, Is there a way to do multi-line text label in a button text? Maybe I'm missing something! Thanks.

Hi everyone! I'm having a problem when I try to make the line I attached works. MB151 is just a simple graphic button (that's not toggle). When I press it, it doesn't fill the vector with zeros, it only load the HMI display. But if I delete the command to load the HMI display, it works properly. What can be wrong? Thanks in advance! PS: I'm using a V350

Hello all, I'm working on my 1st UniLogic program. I have years experience with AB, Red Lion and some Siemens. This is a new beast to me. How can I do the following: Make a circle? Multistate image? Group graphics? This is going to be a learning curve! Thanks for any replies.

Are there any images available to integrate in the HMI displays like there was on VisiLogic. I only could find Tanks. Thanks, Maurice

I want to combine the output of two trends (two flow sensors) so I have to combined sum of the sensors. How to apply in UniLogic?

Hi, How to input value using PLC keyboard? I have some MI integers that I want to show on Jazz PLC Display, and I want to be able to change them using PLC keyboard. How to do that? Thanks in advance, Nikola Ljubinkovic

Coating Systems International deploys their products worldwide. They needed a low cost, flexible controller for machines with a payload of up to 500 liters., as well as an operator interface that could be easily customized to suit different markets. UniStream 7" fit the bill--as one engineer noted: “With the use of a base GIF animation file and almost unlimited overlay for conditions such as off, warnings or alarm status, a comprehensive screen can display everything the operator needs to know with little requirement to build up many different screens as has been done in the past, one screen replaces three.” To read about their fascinating implementation, click here.

What do you do if you have an existing system, different devices running on different protocols...and you've got to implement control, plus hook up via IEC104S to a SCADA...and that is only part of the picture. Well--if you are Rene Tomingas FIE of Estonia, you use Unitronics All-in-One PLC + HMI programmable controllers , models Vision1040 and V570, to get the job done!

Hello, I'm using 4 Combo Box in my HMI. Each Combo Box has 4 options and the user choice is stored in a "Select_Valve" array (of type INT8). I convert the value of "Select_Valve" to binary type, and I want to open the valves one after another according to the user selection using "UID_0016 -> Outputs_0:Outputs3" I'm thinking to use FIFO table for storing the user selection and in the end pushing the results to "UID_0016 -> Outputs_0:Outputs3 ". looking for advice, is it possible to implement with just array functions? there is no help, so I don't understand how to use 'Store in Array' function... Thank You!

Check it out!!! Errdue, an Italian company that manufactures equipment for generating and purifying gases on the customer site, wanted to develop a new line of products. They chose our very own Vision350 for the job. Erredue got the functionality and communication support they needed, in a physically compact device that fit right in--plus, the V350's quality color touchscreen boosts them ahead of their competitors. Read about the application, and check out Engineer Claudio D’Angelo's rave review of the V350 PLC +HMI here!

Hello, I'm using Combo Box in my HMI. My Combo Box has 16 options and the user choice is stored in a tag name "Select_Valve" (of type INT8). I want to convert the value of "Select_Valve" to binary type. In the end, I want to open one of the values according to the user selection using "UID_0016 -> Outputs_0:Outputs3" Thank You!

Hi, I have a project (HMI USP-070-B10) with several users and groups. Using 3 access levels into the screen controls. I have a client who would like to have full access without login every time when power on the HMI. Is it possible to make something like auto login or to make default user with full access? Thank you in advance, Ognyan Obretenov

How I can get the data sampler graph according to the Pt100 temperature value by using module UIS-04PTN ?
