Sarvesh Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 I have v570 unitronics IPC/HMI. I have software version of visilogic 9.7. Is it ok if I take backup with the same version or there will be issues while program uploading or some data might get left if my visilogic is not updated to the latest version ?

MVP 2023 kratmel Posted February 22, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 If your application is in working condition and you do not need any modification you can use original version. Please note before upload (if it is possible - programmer can disable upload option) please Save all operand to file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarvesh Posted February 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 How can we check in which version is the program is written ? We have bought a complete new machine which has unitronics v570 plc and some modules. I have no idea in which version of visilogic the program was written. Just want to take plc backup (upload to my pc) for emergency measures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUT Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 It is preferred to ask machine manufacturer about backup. Bacup may be not available. B.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not upload to PC is available is determined at the time of the program download to the PLC. The default is to NOT allow upload, but the person who downloaded could have changed that (but likely not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted February 22, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 If there is a mini SD card in the slot, you may already have a backup of the program on that. It all depends on how much info your machine maker wants to provide. Also, a way to find what will be the likely best version of Visilogic to use is to access the Info mode of the PLC, and navigate to System and software versions. Using this info and relating it to the Excel sheet in the following link might help narrow things down. https://forum.unitronics.com/topic/5839-new-visilogic-version-to-what-os-list/#comment-34365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
