LeonMötter Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 When i am working with visilogic i am able to set a IP address for the PLC (and MODbus slaves if present) from a MI. For me this is very useful because i have a lot of the exact same machines and when i update them i don't have to worry about the IP address because that is set from the MI after reboot. Now i want the do the same on a new machine which i fitted with a unistream PLC, and i cannot find the same option. Now if i want to update all my machines i have to either make multiple project files or change the IP address each time. Both options are not really preferred. Are there any options with a unistream PLC? for reference in this case i am using a USC-B5-TR22, but i want to keep the question as generally as possible. If there is no solution for this then i can keep this in mind for future project where i might be easier to stick to a vision PLC and visilogic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgull Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 When you are setting up a display, select numeric elements on the right hand side. Here you can assign an IP address or IP settings box that the user can use to modify addresses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonMötter Posted February 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Thanks for info, but that is not what i am looking for, for instance this PLC that i am using now there is no screen. There is a VNC connection but without a correct IP that doesn't work. It is a bit of a bummer that a simple feature like this is available in Visilogic but not in Unilogic.

leen Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hi Leon, Did you already find a solution for your problem. I have the same problem that the IP normally is overwritten after an update. With Unilogic it's asked if you want to change the IP address, but we want to update it using a USB-stick into the USB-port. But it's a problem that we have to set back the IP address after a software update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonMötter Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Unfortunately not. This is one of the reasons that i still prefer using visilogic PLC's. Just to have this option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtharrington1 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'm currently trying to use the .ini function to set the IP address, I would consider this a hacky workaround at best if I get it to work at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
