VisiLogic/Vision, UniStream/UniLogic

Program Ribbon

General actions are accessed via the tabs at the top of the UniLogic window.

Properties Window

Located on the right-hand side of the UniLogic window, this is context-sensitive and always displays the appropriate options.

Hardware Configuration

Since the UniStream platform is modular, the different hardware components are presented separately. All of the components are available via the Solution Explorer tree.

Note: UniStream platform PLCs are referred to as CPUs

Data Tags

UniLogic is based on lexical data tags, not operands. The memory is dynamically allocated depending on the data tags you create, and the data type you link to your tags.
Note, however, that you can create a project containing pre-defined tags, VisiLogic-style. Click the Project tab, and then select New (Pre-defined operands).

Data Tag Structs

These may be:

• Automatically created: UniLogic creates data tag structs automatically where necessary, such as when you configure Hardware and communications, or use timers in your program.

• User-defined: You set up structs according to the needs of your program.

Communications

Via Configuration, not Ladder. For example, if your application uses MODBUS, you set the desired operations/commands and operand areas in each slave configuration. You the set the frequency of data communication in the Properties Window for each slave.

User-defined Function Blocks (UDFBs)

Take any UniLogic function (which are equal to VisiLogic subroutines), define input and output data tags, and then drag the function to any point in your program.

VNC- the New Remote Access

You can use any VNC client to remotely access your controllers.

Customize the UniLogic interface

You can dock or unpin any window in the software. In addition, note that UniLogic will fit any PC screen without any degradation in quality. The main work window can be zoomed to suit your needs.

FB Protocol

This function is now fulfilled by the Message Composer

SD Card Functions

The SD Ladder functions in VisiLogic do not exist in UniLogic.
