Hi Everyone! I'm a beginner to the Unitronics PLCs and I currently have V570-57-T20B-J with V200-18-E1B. I have got a used one, and when powering it on, it displays old programs therefore I would like to: 1- Erase old programs to start fresh and, 2- Would appreciate with any help to get me started with linking and communicating the PLC with Visilogic. I assume the miniUSB port is only for the sake of reprogramming and not initialising the PLC with new IP address, what would be used to set an IP? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello Everyone, I seemed to have "bricked" Visilogic on my PC. Was connected/online with a PLC, I shut the lid to my laptop, when I opened the lid my computer was off... not sure why or how it completely shut down but it was definitely off. Restarted the PC, tried to restart Visilogic and I get the error message below. Note the file referenced (Current_OPLC.udb) is not present in the specified directory. I uninstalled / reinstalled Visilogic, tried opening other projects, even tried just opening Visilogic with no project loaded. I can get it to open by right clicking and running the .exe as administrator, but it still crashes when I try to open any application. Additional Details: Windows Pro 10 64 Bit, Visilogic 9.8.31, Vision 130-33-T38 PLC. Also sent an email to support but as it was late in the day I haven't heard back as of this time. Any help getting this resolved would be appreciated. -Chris -
I create a timer with MI (Memory Integrer) and MB (Memory Bits) and then I tried to display the current value with the time function. Problem is : the display of the timer is a hexadecimal value. I tried to use others function like "UTC to RTC" or "Numerics" but I don't know how to get the display of the current time and the elapsed time of the timer I made. Wanted display : HH : MM : SS (decimal value) The timer look like : MI 1 : Preset MI 2 : Current MI 3 : Elapsed And there is others nets to manage the proper functionning of the timer. I know that it's possible to use the basic timer already set in the PLC but I don't want to use them. -
Create simple project (just one window with text) on V280. Without PLC, only Offline. When I try to Create Project files .dvi I got Error. What's Wrong? -

We have about 50 Vison PLCs currently in operation in many projects. A few weeks ago we started to switch from Visilogic 9.8.64 to 9.8.90. We noticed that the PID functions were not working anymore. After a long time of troubleshooting we realized that we had to delete all "PID A.TUNE Config" blocks and rebuild them again. Is this a known problem? Is there another possibility to fix this? -
Hi, in my current project I have a button on my touchscreen. If this button is pressed, MB33 is set and afterwards MB 10 should be set too. But, as you can see in the image below, the execution of the net stops before MB10. Basicly I copied this structure out of this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RyFPPE3Hdk&feature=youtu.be&t=572 In the tutorial they use the same sequence of contact and coil to turn a "LED" on the touchscreen on and off. Any ideas, why it doesnt work for me? -
Hi everybody, I have long time problem with exporting of operands description. I use VisiLogic 9.8.90 now, but the same was in versions before. When I tried to do Edit -> Export operands descriptions, VisiLogic hang down. I get a message: "Run-time error '-2147221164 (80040154)': Class not registered" (in Czech in my case - so it is Winodws information). Next time I start Visilogic. I get a message: "VisiLogic was not shut down properly. Press OK to recover." (completely in English - VisiLogic information). It is not depending on hardware used in project (all my Vision Enhanced PLCs). When I tried to do Edit -> Import Operands Descriptions, VisiLogic run as I do nothing. I don't use MS Office - if it is important. Is anybody here who know what to do? Thank you very much Petr -
Hello, I want to create a time meter on my program. The principle would be to activate this time meter only when my pump Is working I don't find how can I make it on Visilogic.. Can you help me ? I'm working on a Vision V570 Thank you -
Hi guys, we have connected our SAMBA to WLAN and can access it now through WLAN with the Visilogic software. Now we want to export data from the Samba through WLAN to a PC. For example when a new User enter his name on the touchpad of the samba, the samba should send this information to the PC. How can we do this? Is there any tutorial on a task like this? Greetings

Hello everyone! My question is how i can import h&w config my project? I use SM70,i have already export .ulri file on my old project,but i cant find any import selection on my new visilogic project... Thank you for everything! ❤️ -
Hello, I am struggling to understand Visilogic's MODBUS tools. Say I would like to turn a light on and off from the master PLC, while the output is attached to the slave PLC. What would be the best function block to do this? I keep using the FB #5 and I will get the bits set high, but then they will stay high. I am practicing so I can use PTO utilities to control steppers instead of lights. First, I need assistance in understanding why things like MODBUS FB (5) sets and doesn't reset. The attachments are just HMI lights telling you if you get the commands from the Master PLC. (You get them only if the 2 bits begin in RESET using the online mode) Otherwise, O5 in the picture is the LED I am trying to turn off and on from the master. Thank you!

Hi, i have a vision130 and recently download the latest version of visilogic but when i go to connection-communication & OS- get oplc information- check, at the end, it stops in step 2 but i dont if it has to be about the version of the visilogic or if i have to download a previous version. hope you can help me, thanks -
Hello to all. I am working on a project in which I will only get PLC data to an external control system, we will do it in MODBUS. Everything works correctly, but I find two problems: The addressing mapping is 1: 1 accessible from MODBUS, so they could read any record. The same is reproduced in writing, so that accidentally (or not) they could overwrite important values of my program. Could we limit the reading to a certain number of records? Could we limit the writing? Thanks in advance! -
I want to create an alarm list in my HMI. I have created the alarm group and it shows the alarm, but I don't want to access the List of alarms that Unitronics gives by default, I want to see a quick list in my HMI of active or unrecognized alarms using a List Text or some better alternative. If there is no way to display in your own list, I would like to know how to display the alarm list automatically when an alarm is activated. I am using a Unitronics V1040 in Visilogic 9.8.79 Sorry my language is Spanish and this was translated -
Hello! I am trying to create a program that will extend a cylinder for 10 seconds with valve 1, retract after the 10s and have a running count of the cycle after it is retracted. While doing this, I want valve 2 to ‘dump' the air after valve 1 has been on for 5 seconds so there is no pneumatic force in the extend position after the initial 5 seconds of valve 1 opening. Is this possible? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I am using VisiLogic to write my program and V130-33-T2 hardware. Please advise! -
Hi guys! I am trying to install the latest version of VisiLogic, but it is not possible in my Windows 10 x64 (PRO) laptop. Trying in a VM with Windows 7 works fine... Any idea?

ANSWER : I made it work! When I tried to connect basic 4 wire telephone cable to both end (modem and plc) it worked immediately. Seems that DB9 connector that came with modem kit had already cross crimped pins inside it. Guys help please, I can't initialize COM 2 so that I can connect my modem (Cinterion) to that port so that I could send message when error happens. I added few pictures so that you can see that my SB82 never goes active, why is that? I am using method stop - download - reset so that power bit goes on but port is not initialized Can port be initialized even if I don't have any device connected to that port? I am using Visilogic 1210 and Cinterion modem New edit: I found this in Cinterion documentation: "Now you can connect the modem to the PLC using the 9 Pin connector MJ10-22-CS76 via cable 4 wires." Does anyone has wiring schematic for this "9 Pin connector MJ10-22-CS76 via cable 4 wires". Here is how I connect modem to visilogic, is this correct? -
Hi there, this is my first time working with unitronix plc and I have some problems with understeanding how does modbus communication works. I am using visilogic 1210 plc and I want to read some parameters from Iskra FPC400. I want to use modbus because FPC400 only supports rs485 communication. First I did set up com port and configured modbus. (As you can see from pictures that I included) I want to read 27 parameters from FPC400 (As you can see from picture that I included, I want to read 27 parameters from adress 4112 - 4139 ) and store them in 27 different variables in my plc. (MI4000 - MI4027) As I understood, I need to set start of vector for reading variables as 4112 and length needs to be 27, and start of vector on my plc is 4000. Does this means that program will read 27 parameters and store them into my plc starting from MI 4000 to MI4027?

Greetings all. First round setting up a RTD and, after reviewing forum posts here, I believe I am more confused than before... but likely an easy answer for most around here as I'm much more of a software guy. Our setup: V700 Model with an RTD going to a IO-ATC8. I do not have the RTD model# on me at the moment (typing this after hours but can provide tomorrow) but I know that the RTD contains a Prosense XTH-0300F-PT1 transmitter (0-300 degree F even though the RTD itself is capable of a much larger but unneeded range) I understand that the IO-ATC8 is 14bit. The confusion: I've seen forum posts where the linearization block references the "resolution @ 4-20mA" stated by the RTD/transmitter (I cannot locate this on the spec sheet for the model listed above, or maybe it's called something other than "resolution" but means the same thing?). I've also seen where the linearization is based off the 14bit module (3277 - 16383) - which is in line with what we did with level sensors... aaaand I've seen where, in other cases, an RTD does not require additional linearization (other than dividing by 10, but I assume this is for 10bit setups?). Any advice would be appreciated with a layman's outline of rationale. Cheers! -
So on the V700, whenever a numeric keypad is pulled up, I have to touch the top half of the button to get it to register. this can be kind of frustrating, because the buttons are long and narrow and it usually takes a couple tries to get it to work. I know its a software issue because there's a border that surrounds the touchable area when the button is pressed and it only covers about 60% of the button. when the button is pressed in the center, it does not register. -
Good day, Please find attached some images with the problema that occurs at the time of oppening a Project in VisiLogic versión 9.8.65. The first error that appears is the "Load 12Type mismatch" and when you click to the "Ok" button and try to open another display it appears the second message "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch". I have read a post where the response was to put a DLL in the VisiLogic folder. I have tryed this solution but it does not work (post was from 2015 and other VisiLogic versión). Let me know if you have some solution! Thank you, -
Does anybody know if Vision controllers (ie V130) support Modbus TCP or do they support the Modbus RTU over TCP implementation. The difference is that the first follows the original Modbus TCP frames (ie no CRC) while the latter encapsulates the serial RTU framing sent over TCP media. Which one is supported by Vision and the other Unitronics controllers? -
Hello there, i'm trying to find a way to Initialize the TCP/IP card with the IP,Mask,default Getaway from the data that i initially put in the device through the Information mode. I found the Retry and Timeout Registers (SI 101,102) but i can't find the IP, Mask and default getaway to Dynamically Initialize the TC/IP card. I don't want to have different .vlp's for each device. P.S. i also saw the MI option but it would put unnecessary complexity to the ladder program (need to have two modes in start up etc.). thanks in advance, Nassos
