UniLogic, 1.37.xx supports a new series of Servo drives and Motors. The new B5 & E5-S* Servo Series expands your Motion potential with a wider power range up to 7.5kW (10 hp), common DC bus, enhanced tuning, built-in STO (Safe Torque Off), TouchProbe functions supported by new PLCOpen MC Function blocks, and more.  

*E5-S EtherCAT drives are coming soon. 

New Servos, Motors, MC Functions

UMD-B5 and UMD-E5-S servo drives and motors are now available in Hardware Configuration. These models offer Touchprobe functionality, supported by two new FBs:

  • MC TouchProbe
    Use this to record an axis position at a trigger event. It records an axis position at the point in time of a digital signal (measuring probe function). 
  • MC AbortTrigger
    This Function Block interrupts a measuring probe cycle initiated by MC_TouchProbe

Servos: Modulo Axes

You can now define Modulo Axes for both EtherCAT and CANopen 

DataTable HMI Widget

  • Data Table Properties of Appearance now provide a new option, Scroll Bar Width.

  • The HMI DataTable widget UAC configuration now offers Element Restrictions, which offers an Invisible option; when enabled, the widget will appear only to users who log in with the correct user level. Note that you must enable User Access in order to reveal the Invisible option. 

UniApps

  • Open Menu: by default, to open UniApps, the end-user must touch and maintain contact for several seconds with the upper right corner of the HMI Panel touchscreen until the UniApps sidebar menu appears. You can now change the location of the point of contact in Hardware Configuration>Controller Model>Properties Window>UniApps Side by Side menu. 
  • User Access Control: the interface has been improved; when adding users, only the groups and users that are used in the project, and that have assigned roles, are now shown.

Live Trend

The number of curves for a single Live Trend graph has been raised from 4 to 8

UniCloud Data Backup

If you have a UniCloud subscription from Basic Data subscription or greater, you can backup data stored on your controller's SD to the cloud. The data is stored in the cloud in a .zip file, and can be downloaded, or restored from UniCloud back to the PLC.

USL Displays

In UniApps, you can now connect via hostname, as well as IP address, by accessing UniApps Network>General IP/Hostname, and selecting Hostname.

HMI Widgets

Circular Gauge widgets now offer the option Whole Circle; selecting this option results in the gauge numbers and ticks covering the entire 360 degrees of gauge.

Project-level Actions

Actions now include the ability to actviate and deactivate the Screen Saver 

TextBox widget

The numeric keyboard now offers commas and dots
