ZebioEE Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 New VisiLogic wont compile Samba program with 26 displays says maxis 24 but previous version compilled without any problem. This dispays number limit is artificial and decrease Samba functionality. Please remove this limitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Franco Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Samba is limited to 24 displays. Version 9.8.65 doesn´t allow to create more than 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted January 26 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted January 26 But I think what Zebioo is saying is that although the above detail says max 24, the previous Visi version in use didn't bring it up as a compile error, but the new one does. Perhaps the restriction IS "artificial", but if that is what the makers have specified as the max, then that is what the programmer should implement. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of "artificial" limits in a Samba. This is by design. The Samba series was created as a response to OEM requests for a lower priced PLC. Unitronics did this by removing the expansion I/O communication circuitry and removing memory. Unitronics' reasoning is that if the application gets to a certain size then you need to step up to a regular Vision series. If you were able to get 26 displays in then I'd say you found a bug in an older version that worked in your favor. I do know from an inside source that implementing the new PCOM password security feature required programming acrobatics to fit additional code into memory that was already at capacity. The programmers probably grabbed a block of memory that was previously allocated for displays, so they had to put the display count check rule in place. Joe T.

AlexUT Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 @ZebioEE As @Joe Tauser commented, number of displays will stay limited to 24. For security reasons it is recommended to use last versions of software and firmware. In this case it is better to re-design displays to have 24, not 26. This will allow to use all new versions of software and firmware with security patches. B.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
