MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted October 31, 2013 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I participated in yesterday's Webinar on intro to UniLogic software. Holy cow is that an improvement over VisiLogic! I understand that this programming software cannot be used for the Vision products, but I wonder if it really is that difficult to include a compiler for Vision products or is this a marketing decision to encourage adoption of the new product line? Our company has a solid platform using Vision and moving to the new line is probably not in the cards for now, but I sure would like to be programming in UniLogic. Anyway, I would like to congratulate you on the development of UniLogic. It really looks like you managed to incorporate most of your customer requests for updates to VisiLogic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
External Moderators tmoulder Posted October 31, 2013 External Moderators Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just from what I've done so far, the new platform is light-years beyond Visilogic. It takes real "getting used to", and that's where I'm at with it, exploring capabilities, importing my favorite tricks and such. To directly answer your question - I don't see how UniLogic could be backported to the Vision series. Just as a single proof, look at the difference in Modbus TCP - controlled at the OS level, configured-not-coded, and theoretically no upper limit to the number of simultaneous connections (the Creators recommend 32, that's the most they've tried in-house). That right there makes it entirely incompatible with Vision. Heck, the Modbus FBs don't even exist in the new platform - it's all automated.

External Moderators tmoulder Posted October 31, 2013 External Moderators Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Come to think of it, the Unilogic platform makes most of the Visilogic modules I published over the last couple of years completely obsolete... heh heh but i'm not bitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saragani Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 It's like installing Windows Vista on an old AT 286... it is not possible. The old Visions are different platform, different OS etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
External Moderators tmoulder Posted November 1, 2013 External Moderators Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Vista? I don't know if you'd want to go drawing THAT analogy. Let's say Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saragani Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've deliberately took Vista as an example because it takes a lot of resources (There are more chances of installing Win 7 on an old computer rather than installing Vista on that old computer). Either way, I don't think that AT 286 can run Windows 7 as well. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Bereck Levy Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Guys, I have one PC at home that runs Vista--don't get me started Tim is exactly right regarding VisiLogic. We believe that Vision and VisiLogic are great products that fit many requirements for many applications with a good price/performance ratio. The products will still have features added according to market requests, but they are fairly mature. Flex, I hear you--basically, your request amounts to a re-engineering of VisiLogic so that you'd have the fast programming, tag addressing, UDFBs, etc, correct? I'll put in your request, but...well, this is a enormous task; so I dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted November 3, 2013 Author MVP 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yes, Cara, I know re-engineering VisiLogic is not really feasible. That's why I was a little hopeful that it might be easier to just create a vision compiler for UniLogics. Sure, compilers aren't easy as pie, but people create compilers for multiple platforms all the time. Makes no difference, I said this many times before, Unitronics has the best PLC programming environment in the business - I wish everything in my life worked as well.

miguelmaldo Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi, Is it possible to import visilogic projects into unilogic? In the company where we work we have a development that has taken a long time to realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted July 14, 2017 Author MVP 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 No, it is not possible. Why do you need to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
