GonzaloRoldan_ Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hi everyone! I'm developing a project with UniLogic v1.25.61 for the UniStream USP-104-B10. I would like to know if there's any way to donwload a project via Internet to a PLC that is connected to it (internet, not in the same network). The PLC is working as a WebServer, and has its own static IP address. Thanks in advance! Gonzalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted October 21, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I do this all the time with Vision PLCs. I can't imagine not being able to with UniStream. Did you try it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Ausman Posted October 21, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Flex, I think Gonzalo means use the UniStream to do the download to another PLC. I don't think that's possible. But maybe I've misinterpreted this. Or maybe there's a facility in Vision I don't know about through not having the need? cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUT Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi, To communicate and download project to UniStream: Disable "Use Ping on Discovery" option in "Project->Options" UniLogic menu. B.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonzaloRoldan_ Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 @Flex727 I need to download the program I have in my laptop to a UniStream that is 400km away from me, so, I have to do it through Internet, and the thing is that I want to do it directly from UniStream, putting the static IP address of the PLC in the software and clicking on "Full Download", but at the moment, I haven't been able to do it. That's it @Ausman.. I want to do what you've said. If you can do that with Vision, I would like to know how do you do @Flex727, no matter that it's other software, it could help me anyway. I haven't tried this yet, I'll do it tonight: 6 hours ago, AlexUT said: Hi, To communicate and download project to UniStream: Disable "Use Ping on Discovery" option in "Project->Options" UniLogic menu.

MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted October 22, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm at a loss here. Are we mixing up the terms UniStream and UniLogic? @GonzaloRoldan_, says he agrees with @Ausman, but still sounds like he wants to go from his laptop to the UniStream PLC using the UniLogic software. What I have done many times is download a program from my computer over the internet to a Vision PLC using VisiLogic. I have done this with PLCs as far away as 8,500 miles (Dallas, TX to Brisbane, Australia). It helps to increase the value of SI 101 first.

GonzaloRoldan_ Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yes @Flex727, you're right, I'm mixing up the terms (I apologise for that). I want to do what you've said. Use UniLogic to download my project into a remote UniStream PLC, and I've not been succesful in doing that yet. I'll consider everthing all of you have said and I will try it tonight. I'll let you know the results. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like this is the key for UniStream. It's unnecessary for Vision (though SI 101 can play a role). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonzaloRoldan_ Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi everyone, I've already tried what you've all said, but it's still not working. I portforward the PLC and I can access throught a different network to the WebServer writing the static IP address following to the port: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:41080 (that's the port I've chosen). When I try to download a project to that PLC, I cannot establish the connection with it: PS: I have already disable "Use Ping on Discovery" option in "Project->Options" UniLogic menu.

MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted October 22, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Make sure you've got all the assigned ports correct and appropriately forwarded. Do you have both port 3335 and 22 forwarded to the PLC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonzaloRoldan_ Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hi @Flex727, yes, I have both ports forwarded correctly I think. Here you are a screen capture of it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonzaloRoldan_ Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hi everyone. I've solved the problem. Now it's working, even with "Use Ping on Discovery" option enable. The thing was that my ISP was closing port 22. What I've done is portforwarding another external port (4000) and redirecting it to the internal port 22. Thanks to everyone!

You're welcome @Joe Tauser, that's the way this forum works 😁. One more question... Leaving the ports open, is there anyway to prevent (or protect) unwanted access to our PLCs? I mean, if someone knows the IP address of it and also the Online and Download ports, any project can be downloaded to the PLC. Is it possible to ask for an authentication before being able to download a project in it? Or is there any other inderect way to protect it? Thanks in advance!

GonzaloRoldan_ Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hi @Flex727, that could be an option. I'm also thinking of accessing remotely to the router configurations (which requires authentication) in order to enable/disable the ports.

The much vaunted Unistream does NOT have an inbuilt mechanism to prevent ANYONE with certain info getting into the system? I can't believe this! Surely there must be some way. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Bereck Levy Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Just wanted to let you know that such a mechanism is indeed in the to-do list. I don't have a 'when' at the moment, will update when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
