Buddy123 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi Has anyone got some knowledge with reading the Public IP address on a Unistream PLC, I am wanting to record what the public IP is at any time into my program.

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted November 27, 2020 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 I fired up a UniStream to see if DHCP was an option - it is not. The IP address of the panel (which does the heavy lifting) is set in the project definition. If you want to see the panel IP value, look in under System->General->Panel IP Address. Then I tried to access this variable and put it on the screen and found it is not part of the System Data struct. I got the same result when I tried to access it via the ladder editor. So it's there, but we can't seem to access it. I think you are out of luck. I would ask this question officially by sending a request to support@unitronics.com. Let us know what you find. Joe T.

DanT Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi; Under Screens, Numeric Elements, there are 2 IP Address Options IP Address Edit -- you can select which IP Address to view and edit ( IP Address Type) IP Settings Edit -- Panel, CPU, DNS -- View and edit These are all editable from the screen In the Ladder - Strings -- IP to String and String to IP ( no info in Help for explanations) IP to String allows an ASCII Variable ASCII to String -- does not allow setting a Panel IP -- from what I can see. ( Don't have UniStream to play with right now - else I would test them out ) DanT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted November 27, 2020 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 @DanT - I did see the screen object edit choices but I didn't think about the IP to string function. Which is dumb of me because I use that in Vision. Good thing your brain is engaged! @Buddy123 - That made me dig a little deeper into the system variables, and I found my first post to be in error. I was expecting the IP information to be in the System Data struct, but it's actually in the General struct. So I need to bone up on UniLogic system names. Using the system tag "General.Panel IP Address" as a source you can indeed save off the IP address. I've attached my test project.
