Hi, I have two Jazz JZ20-J-T40 PLC-s, and one V130-J-TR20 PLC. I am using zView SCADA. I tried to connect them via Ethernet by using switch, but I cannot use two different PLCs on this SCADA. Then i tried to connect them to SCADA via uniOPC, but communicating is just too slow. I have just one bit that goes from 0 to 1 in 0.5 seconds, and back to 0 in 0.5 (1 second pulse), just for testing, still it's too slow. It runs normally for like 2,5 seconds, and then just stops, and changes in 4-10 seconds, or just freezes for 2-3 minutes, and then changes. My PC Spec are not in the way of this, I am sure of that, i have tried it on my weakest and strongest laptop, still exactly the same results, too slow with just one bit for each of the PLCs, that is 3 bits total. Does anyone had the same problem, is there a way of fixing this? Regards Nikola Ljubinkovic

Hello Is it possible to read one PLC (V130 in my case) with more than one UniOPC server software which are running in different computers? I have an application where V130 is read from one PC by UniOPC server and I need read same PLC with other UniOPC server located in other PC. All tags are identical. I installed UniOPC program to both PC and they both can read the PLC but not simultaneously. I can connect both UniOPC with PLC, but only firstly connected OPC can read tag values. Secondly connected OPC tags quality is //Uncertain, non-specific// and tag values are zeros. Both UniOPC sever have identical configuration. Is it in principle not possible to read one PLC with two UniOPC or I have problems with settings? Regards, Meelis

Hello, When reading timer value as numeric data type (TCL or TPL) the result is always 0, while reading it as a string returns correct value. I don't know what's the problem. It probably isn't syntax because OPC reports syntax errors, I tried all numeric data types and the result is always 0. Reading value as a string isn't that much of a problem because substrings for minutes and seconds can be extracted. But when writing the value into PLC some code gymnastics is required which takes time. So my question is can timer values be treated as numeric variables? I use "WinLog" SCADA from Sielco, example of tags that I use: Transport.TPL0 (this returns 0) Transport.TP0 (this returns correct value)

In 02/Dec I've finished a graduate course at SENAI and my term paper was about how build a simple Java application and get a Vison 350 PLC communicating with a Linux server without using OPC and a step by step jig construction. In fact I did two Java applications 1- TCP_Server which a Linux server timely receives data sent from V350 PLC 2- TCP_Client which implements the Unitronics ASCII communication protocol allowing an user read and write any PLC registers of Vision V350 model May be that code could work for other Vision models. That Java code is available for download "as is" and hope it helps everybody to get their PLCs communicating. Find below my website link English version http://nets-nuts.com...cs-with-linux/ http://nets-nuts.com...lc-testing-jig/ Brazilian Portuguese version http://nets-nuts.com...nics-com-linux/ http://nets-nuts.com...-giga-de-teste/ Java code can be downloaded at SourceForge website : http://sourceforge.net/projects/plc-unitronics/ -
hello, I.m a newbee and I'm developing a scada application, and I want to connect with multiple plc's using UniOPC Server. Scada is developed in C# .net and I'm using for opc client: OPC .NET API 2.00 Redistributables. For connecting to uniopc server, i need the name and location for the server: Thanks in advance.

HI: I am attempting to connect Wonderware InTouch to a Vision 350 PLC via UniOPC. I have installed OPCLink 8.0 for the Wonderware side. I have installed and run UniOPC for the Unitronics' side. I am communicating normally with the PLC via TCP/IP for VisiLogic. My computer is running XP Pro, SP2. I have worked through the UniOPC installation and configuration manual several times. When I get to configuration of OPCEnum as part of DCOM, when I get to the Identity tab in OPCEnum properties, the documentation indicates to select "The System Account (services only)" at the bottom of the Identity tab. However, in my case, this option is unavailable, grayed out. As a clue, when I look at the General tab for the OPCEnum properties, OPCEnum is listed as a Local Server for Application Type, whereas the UniOpc documentation shows it to be a Local Service. Does anyone know any way to make the computer think that OPCEnum is a Local Service rather than a Local Server?? Thanks in advance! Fred

Hi, i got some problem with connecting M90 PLC to PC, with UniOPC Server and its client that i could get some data. If i am right, i have to enable this client to access PLC data. I was reading UniOPC Server help and find OPC Client: Item Syntax, where is example of enabeling the OPC client like this: PLCConveyor1.MB3, but i dont now where to insert this. Thanks for advise.
