VisiLogic which is for programming the Vision & Samba series of combined PLC & HMI. The latest software from Unitronics is UniLogic; a powerful software for programming the UniStream series of PLC & HMI units. These rhobust & versatile programming packages are included with every purchase of a Unitronics PLC. Communication SoftwareTo allow third party software to communicate with a Unitronics PLC there is an included OPC Server which only requires that the third party software can act as an OPC client. For the more ambitious programmer there are a set of .Net controls that can be used, as well as an ActiveX COM object, while for legacy systems there is a DDE Server . Finally Unitronics PLC & HMI's also have their own communication protocol called PCOM which can also be used. All of this software is included with any purchase of a Unitronics PLC. Remote Access SoftwareUnistream PLCs can be controlled directly from almost any VNC application. There are also several software packages that can be used to remotely access Jazz, M90/91, Vision & Samba combined PLC & HMI's Remote Operator which can monitor several units at one time, Remote Access which will simply monitor one unit at a time & the new Remote Operator app which allows your smartphone or tablet to control your PLC. These packages allow the HMI screens to be displayed on a PC and allow the mouse to control the PLC. All of this software is included with all Unitronics' PLCs Miscellaneous ToolsIn order to make the programmer's life a little easier Unitronics have developed a variety of different tools that perform specific functions. One of the most interesting but simplest is a licencing tool that embeds a licence number into a hidden area of the PLC allowing the programmer to protect intellectual property rights. There are also tools for Data Export and a small suite of programs to manage the onboard SD card files. |
