Hello all. I am very new to PLC programming and I encountered something a bit out of my scope. Recently, I was tasked to create a program that would be able to read the values of a NOX sensor using CANOpen and Visilogic. Currently I am using a SAMBA PLC+HMI SM43-J-R20. The NOx sensor's model is UniNox 24V 5WK96614H by Continental. I followed the example of a webinar online that showed the steps for programming an encoder. I am unsure of how to know which bytes I would need to program to be able to read the sensor information. Such as NOX ppm, oxygen percentage , lambda, etc. The sensor package did not provide an EDS file. Basically, my question would be how to know which bytes I need to extract data from a sensor? And how to program it? I have attached the pages that have the pertinent information and the program I have so far. I would really appreciate any thoughts or comments for this. Thank you.

Hi Everyone, I bought the SM35-j-r20 for a new project. I have experience with the unistream models. With that, it was easy to connect via ethernet or USB. But with the Samba (visilogic) I have problems to connect with the plc. I get an communication drive error (206). I use a glodX GXMU-1200 USB to serial converter, with Prolific driver (I've tried different versions) . My baudrate is set to 57600. My OS is Win 11. I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance. Francis

Hello All, I've got a V1210 controller and I've been using Visilogic 9.8.91 to look at an OEM program. This is on a Windows 10 box, running as admin, UAC off. I've been able to use ethernet Direct Connection to go online and view values. I've also modified the program and have been able to download to V1210. Things have worked fine. Recently I've been trying to use UniOPC Server and it has not been successful. Now, I'm unable to get online with the controller. When I go to Direct Connection, I get this error. I can ping the V1210 and others on the LAN. I've ensured the cables currently work. Is it possible I'm trying to go online with the wrong program that's currently loaded into controller? Just not sure why it was working and now isn't. I've power cycled V1210 several times, I've unplugged and plugged the ethernet cable. Checked SB 314 and it's not set. I can post the program if that will help, too. Appreciate your time and help!

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.

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

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, 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!

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!

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?
