Remotely Accessing UniStream via VNC

You can access UniStream using a VNC viewer from a computer, phone, or tablet with an Ethernet or mobile connection. To connect via VNC over a local network, connect to the Panel IP via port 5900. You can have multiple simultaneous connections to the same PLC.

Exiting a VNC session: To end a session, press and hold the top-left corner  of the screen for 5 seconds. This applies to Built-in, PLC (USC) series controllers, and USL (USL5/USL7/USL10) displays.

2.  Press Change Passwords.

3. Under Model option, scroll to select the desired option.

In UniApps access the Network tab-> VNC Server -> General. Press the Set 'touch bit' check box and press apply. The VNC server will restart with the VNC "touch" identification option enabled.
