Hello, I am relatively new to Unilogic and completely new to CANBUS, and I have a project that requires 2 encoders a single turn and a multi turn encoder. My struggle is with the software and how to generate the position values for the encoder onto the PLC, I have followed all the help guides etc and have uploaded the manufacturer EDS Files for the encoders, but I currently seem unable to get a reading onto the PLC HMI. And I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm missing or have done wrong. Can anyone help or have any tutorial videos for if I'm missing anything in the Ladder logic or in the CANopen set up. Thanks

Hello, I'm programming challenged and like the easy Rockwell Automation world, just not the price. So Unitronics has nice powerful solutions, but the software seems to lag behind a bit... So... what I'd like to be able to do in the Unistream platform is over-write the "read only" register "current count" from the UID-0808THS module. I have shaft encoders and prefer to work on the positive side of the number line. Negative roll over is a programming headache for me. The application is a mechanical jack screw with 60 PPR A quad B encoder, signal feedback and wiring is easy and works fine. In my control code I take the raw data and scale to engineering units to yield a linear position feedback (jackscrew moving the load a specified distance). In the Rockwell world, I can turn the counter off, reset to zero or some "preset" value that is meaningful to the application. What's nice about that is the programming is far easier and I can prevent roll-over problems by offsetting the number line using the preset value = non-zero value + a safety margin in counts (could be 10 x the feedback counts per rev.) Does anyone reading this have has an application similar to this written in Unistream / Unilogic platform? I have my program attached if you are curious about the hardware and software setup. Version 1.7 rev 62. If not, then I ask the capable guru's at Unitronics to consider enhancements to high speed counter firmware. Thanks, Greg

When troubleshooting a subroutine or a region in Unilogic which has an MB or other register appearing several times in a ladder, I find myself scanning around a trying to recall everywhere that each tag is used and how it is used. To help make this process easier, I would like to suggest that there be an option where a temporary color can be applied to a tag so that everywhere it appears in the program, it has that color assigned to it. Perhaps if a user were to right click on a register in the ladder and then assign a color, it would color all instances. This way a user could scan down through a subroutine and see their MB's or registers highlighted the designated color and easily identify their tags without needing to read the tag or notes. When I think of it, we have region colors that we can assign, why not add teh ability to color tags as well?

Me and another programmer are working on the same program from Dropbox, when either of us open the file, Unilogic automatically creates copies of global tags. For example, a tag named Alarm Bit 0 is created by me and saved to Dropbox. Then I close the program. Then another programmer opens that file and he sees Alarm Bit 0_1 The tag Alarm Bit 0_1 is not linked to anything. Our finished program will eventually have over 1000 tags, and so far we are having to delete over 50 of these "indexed" automatically created tags. Is this a Dropbox issue? or a Unilogic bug? Any help or advice would be appreciated, Thanks. -John B Controls Tech -
I forgot my program password and I don't have access to the code, I couldn't save a backup on the SD card either, I need urgent help.

Hi, I would love to be able to breakout and pin some of the different alignment options to the HMI toolbar tab. It is rather tedious to have to go through the dropdown menu every time I want to make alignments with HMI elements. With monitors getting wider and wider, there is often plenty of space to add additional icons to the HMI tab. VisiLogic had them all available and could be used with one click. It would be nice to have that option while using UniLogic.

Hello, I want to copy the first column of my DTI in an array. The column type is STRING-ASCII. But it seems i canot create an array of STRING. I am right, or i am missing somthing ? I'm starting to thing that a STRING, is alreay a kind of array. Thank you.

Hi, Any alternative to the vision series essential app "SD Card Explorer"? This PC application allow explore and download files stored on the SD card from remote, and I cant figure out how Unistream SD Card filed can be approached remotely. I was tinkling of sending files to FTP server, but how can I browse SD card from Unistream panel / (VNC) and select a file to send on FTP server? it seems that HMI element "Sd Browser" can only be use to transfer files to a local DOK. I believe that If it had the option of coping a selected file name to global tag (string) then it could be used with "FTP Send" function. For now the only solution I found is to use pen and paper to copy a file name from the list, and retyping file name somewhere else on the HMI, but there must be a better way... Thanks in advance to the appliers. Ofer

I wanted to provide support personal way to access alarm history. So when user calls at 2 AM and says "machine stopped working" they can see what has happened and give advice for user, what to do. Sadly in current state you cant provide any indication of alarms on Web page. I know they can see errors on HMI screen. But If I provide support personal VNC access they are able to start engines over cell phones (in their bed) and I think it may be dangerous. Providing read-only VNC access is also problematic, because PLC is behind locked door (windowed) and for interactions they have to drive on the job site. I can provide state of the buttons or sensors on web page but there are lifting device and it will stop if it is over loaded (speed drops). Without alarms you cant easily see reason why it stopped. Maybe I can read alarms from SD card and show them on Web Page ? Maybe I can add some JS code and create some custom Web UI elements? UniLogic 1.29.111

Hi All, I was trying to connect Moxa ioLogik E1214 to Unistream USP-070-B10 over EtherNet IP. The Connection Status shows error code "0117", which explained as "Invalid Produced or Consumed Application Path". I created this node using "Add Node From EDS" file. I used the EDS file provided by the Manufacturer. I can see very short period of connection because the device name shows up correctly on the field, then disappears. Can anyone help me on this issue? -
Hi, I have configured numeric entry field in the HMI and I am entering time in minutes. When I change this value by entering it from HMI, it works. But when I pass the value to this tag from the logic, updated value is not displayed on the HMI. Here is the screenshot of the logic created to pass the default value to the time setpoint. Please help.

I have some simple C functions, but suddenly I noticed all code is gone and functions are displayed as empty. I was worried, did I accidentally delete some of it, but luckily I have older versions so I opened these and copied content into notepad. But when I reopened newer file (file where c functions were empty) all content was back. I even saved newer file before opening older file. So conclusion - C functions window displayed functions as empty, even when content actually did exists there.

Currently it is too hard if you have to change multiple object colors on HMI. I had 20+ Numeric Box and Fixed Text objects on screen and customer says they want to change entire color scheme similar for their brand colors. I didn't find any easy way to automate things so it is 20 clicks and button presses for each element color and I didn't had only one page. Maybe Copy/Paste drop down for color elements on the Properties Window ?? -
Hi ! I work in unistream 1.26 For the next step, I need a make a login connection in web server, I don't know if it's possible ? In HMi, I found a management panel " Web Server password". Do I can use this for make a log in page ? Or I can use other method ? Thank you so much !

Hello, I have Unistream 7 and I have problem with configuration of high-speed output of module UIS-WCB2. The high speed output 0O should be able to be configured up to 250 kHz using PWM mode. According to help, I have configured in properties windows HS Block 1 to PWM - see screenshot. Then I have configured the struct B1 according to the screenshot, but it still does not work. The classical "slow" output using function PWM worked, however I can not get to work the high-speed 100 Khz+ output mode. Thank you very much for any tips. Best regards, Martin Sirovy. -
Hello, I'm using US5-B10-B1 controller and want to create a test report. For that ideally I'd like to have table where the column number isn't constant. I attached and example of how I imagined the table. I wanted to know if its even possible to create 3 data tables: first data table for the top part of the report, second data table for the middle and third for the bottom part and then stack them one on top of the other? I tried creating some data tables, exporting them into csv and then appending them, but it says its required that the dimensions of the tables match up. I would really appreciate any alternative ideas.

I created an EtherNet/IP adapter, 8 bytes in, 8 bytes out. In the ControlLogix PLC I created a Generic Ethernet Adapter node, 2 DINT in, 2 DINT out, and got an error '16#012a Connection Request Error: Invalid output application path' at the PLC. Then I changed PLC to Generic Ethernet Adapter node, 8 SINT in, 8 SINT out. Now I get '16#0114 Electronic Keying Mismatch: Electronic keying product code and/or vendor ID mismatch'. What would be your advice to establish a working EtherNet/IP connection between PLC and Unistream?
