MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted January 12 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted January 12 Moved to the Vision forum. Yes, you can connect with USB. Obtain and install VisiLogic, install the USB driver from within VisiLogic, then you can connect with a mini-USB cable. However, it is unlikely you'll be able to download the program to your PC. The program would have needed to be downloaded with the upload feature, but that is not the default. Go to the pinned posts in this forum (Vision) to learn how to do all this and review the VisiLogic Help once you get it installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipavko Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 I install visilogic and usb driver! I must choose now import operand? Export will send program to plc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted January 13 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted January 13 Go to 5:50 in this video to see how to connect to your PLC. Then select Upload rather than download as he does in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vipavko Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 Thank you all for help! PLC and machine must be turned off during the process? And didn't find this info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted January 14 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted January 14 The PLC must be turned on. You can't upload or download anything otherwise. Don't import or export the PLC operands at this point - that's Unitronics' way of describing the actual numerical values in the memory. You probably want to leave those alone. To upload the actual PLC program to the PC you select "Upload". However, as Flex said, if the original programmer did not enable this you won't be able to get the program. You'll probably need to contact the original programmer to get this. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipavko Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 Tnx for an explanation! I was thinking that operands and program are the same thing... I hope that programmer allowed this function,I will try next week we need this program for Scada Is there any virtual unitronics plc for learning,testing or some cheap plc?...

Fernando Castro Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 🙄 On Industrial automation world, the first resource should be ask to the Original Equipment Manufacuter. 99% of the time you won't have access to the source code. Unless specified by the customer, no vendor provides a project file you can edit. And, assuming you have access to it, pretty much every single controls brand has proper documentation in the help file. I am truly surprised how often this happens.
