martin147 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hello, I am working on a project where I use one RS232 COM module (UAC-02RS2) to communicate with motor controller which has 8 DIP switches. First four switches are setting the address of the controller, next two are setting boud rate and last two has no function. May I ask where I have to set the address in UNILOGIC to communicate with this controller? Thanks and best regards. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 kratmel Posted August 22, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Please post motor controller model # or pdf. You must check - is it motor controller protocol supported by Unistream PLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 kratmel Posted August 23, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 After quickly reading the documentation, I can only state the fact that controlling this controller from a PLC is possible. However, due to the proprietary communication protocol with the controller proposed by the manufacturer, writing the control program will take some time. Separately, you will also need to configure the controller itself using a program from the manufacturer. If you are an experienced user of Unistream, you will create a command library and program the controller settings via manufacturer software . If you are not familiar with writing a non-standard communication protocol, it is better for you to change the controller to a Unitronics servo drive and get ready motion functions without creating unnecessary additional protocols.

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted January 27, 2023 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 @Piet - You should really start a new thread on this unless your question has something to do with RS232 motor control communications. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
