I am not sure, but i think that the OS are downloaded to ubitronics software based on the visilogic version you have C:\Program Files (x86)\Unitronics\Unitronics VisiLogic_C\Data\Os\Vision Enhanced\V700\OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 Ausman Posted February 2, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Older versions of OS are in older versions of Visilogic, which you can get at "previous versions" here: https://www.unitronicsplc.com/software-visilogic-for-programmable-controllers/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Galaz Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) OMG!!! IT'S ALIVE!!! Thank you so much to all of you guys. In order to register what worked: Visilogic version:9.8.65 OS version: 4.008 (10) Use the Modbus configuration from example "C:\Program Files (x86)\Unitronics\Unitronics VisiLogic_C\Examples\Version 900\Project examples\Communications\Ethernet\V700_Modbu_TCP slave.vlp". I believe the culprit was OS version, I'm going to try with Visilogic 9.8.91 and 4.008 (10) OS Version, and come back here to tell you my results. Again thanks to all of you, you are great!

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted February 2, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Well, hallelujah! You may have been the painful victim of a serious bug. I'm still going to check this out myself on a V700. Joe T. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thanks to all of you, you are great! told you.....bugs, bugs bugs everywhere!! I really want to like unitronics but my experience so far has been hard to trust , If I had started my current project after that SO release I would have screwed. Joking aside the main reason I have disstrust issues is that I have a rough time trying to troubleshoot myself to eventually find out that maybe is the PLC and not my logic 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Bereck Levy Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 @Joe Tauser, please let me know what you find! There seem to be a few issues here. I am tracking this thread, and am drawing it to the attention of the relevant people--but please allow me to say that this is an example of the Unitronics Forum Community at work! Kudos to all participants 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Bereck Levy Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hi people--good news. Our team tracked down thisV700 Modbus TCP issue bug, which is indeed related to the OS version released in mid-December 2021, 4.010.34 . We have now released a fix, included in OS 4.10.46. You can run Live Update from the Web via Help> Live Update>Operating System in order to download this fixed OS version. I would like to thank all who participated in this thread - especially our fabulous moderators for giving me a heads-up, enabling us to stomp this bug!

I don't have any VisiLogic version that includes 4.010.34 for the V700. My 9.8.94 has 4.010.36. Does .36 also have the bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Bereck Levy Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 @Flex727, yes anything after OS 4.010.34 up to but NOT including OS 4.10.46. BTW--I need to mention that, for a variety of reasons, we run internal builds, that are not actually released with an Official VisiLogic Version. Apparently, OS 4.010.34 was an internal build--and your VisiLogic version 9.8.94 was released with OS 4.010.36 (which does have the bug) Live Update from the Web will download the fixed OS 4.10.46.

What was the specific bug? I believe it is related to communication protocols. Today I spent half of the day struggling with serial comm on one system that maintenance was assembling for testing, even thinking that I've sent the wrong program or that I may be by accident overwritten the latest release of the software. In the end, I was feeling defeated without any idea of what was going on or how to solve it, then it struck me... what OS is on this PLC? and definitely was not 4.008 (10) the most stable (In my opinion) It was 4.10(46), I Installed 4.008 (10) and the comm, worked again.

Are we sure about this?, I mean I had this serial comm issue today with 4.10 (46). I am going to test with other PLC.. maybe was something else and only got restored while wipping OS?

Fernando Castro Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Guess what.... I was able to upgrade SO, test, downgrade SO and test again My observations were consitent: 4.008 (10) serial comm working 4.10(46) serial comm not working 4.008 (10) serial comm working again 2 different devices, same PLC program, same behavior with those SO @Cara Bereck Levy I guess we should report that.
