MODBUS is fully supported; however, to adapt V120 applications you must change the slave addressing scheme as described in the MODBUS Help topic Slave Addressing.
Both the V120 and V130 are highly compact controllers with built-in on-board I/O configurations, and may be used in similar applications. However, applications written for the V120 may not be 'plug-and-play' for the other, and may have to be adapted. This is because these controllers belong to different Vision Controller Divisions; V120 is a Standard Vision, whereas V130 is a member of the Enhanced Vision division.
Certain system operands that are relevant for the V120 may not function or may function differently. These differences are explained in the following sections.
In addition, please note that the method of data entry (using the keypad to enter data into Keypad Entry Variables) is different.
You can convert V120 projects to V130 by using the utility Project>Convert Project to V130.

Up/Down keys |
Up arrow: linked to SB 41, down arrow to SB 46 |
Up arrow: linked to SB 55, down arrow to SB 56 |

Keypad entry 'logic' |
|
|
|
Entry to Display with keypad entry variables |
The first variable set in Variable Tab order is active and blinking. |
No variable is active; press Enter to activate the first variable set in Variable Tab order. |
|
Time Variables, Day of Week/Month |
|
Pressing Enter selects the highlighted day; at the end of a row, pressing Enter jumps to the start of the same row. Navigate between the rows via the Up/Down buttons. When Entry is complete, press the ESC key, then move to the next variable via the right arrow key. |
|
Moving between variables |
Press Enter after enter a value; use the right arrow key to move to the next variable. |
After pressing the ESC key to signal Entry complete, use the right/left arrow keys to move between variables. |
|
ASCII keypad entry: upper/lower case |
During entry, pressing the < i > button changes toggles the case. |
Press the up arrow for upper case; the down arrow for lower case. |
|
F1 and F2 keys |
Do not exist |
F1 is linked to SB 58, F2 to SB 59. |

Load Subroutine |
SB 33 Load Display with linked Call Subroutine turns ON for 1 scan |
Each Display is linked to 3 subroutines:
|
|
Unload Subroutine |
SB 34 UnLoad Display with linked Call Subroutine turns ON for 1 scan |
|
|
What is current Display? |
According to SI 252 Current HMI Display Number |
Use Ladder function HMI>HMI Display Loaded (SI 252 not relevant) |
|
What was Previous HMI Display? |
According to SI 251 Previous HMI Display Number |
Use Ladder function HMI>Is Last HMI Display Loaded (SI 252 not relevant) |
|
Moving Images |
Supported |
Not supported. Are removed when the project is converted |
|
Variables |
|
|
|
Day of Week/Month |
These variables occupy less screen area in V120. |
When converting an application from V120 to V130, you must manually resize these variables |
|
Hide/Invert Variable |
Use the Ladder elements Invert/Hide Var |
Use the Hide or Inverse /view bit in the Variable's properties |
|
Global Variables |
Supported |
Not supported; each Global Variable is replaced with a separate variable when the project is converted |
|
Keypad Entry Variables |
SB 250 HMI key entry within limits (Standard Vision only) SB 251 Keypad entry exceeds limits (Standard Vision only) SI 249 Last Active Keypad Entry Var (V120, V230, V260, V280, V290 BW only) SI 250 Currently active keypad entry (read/write) (Standard Vision only) SDW 10 Keypad entry variable value |
SB 92 Keypad Entry in Progress (ON during entry) (Enhanced Vision) SB 93 Keypad Entry Var Activates (ON for 1 scan) (Enhanced Vision) SB 94 Keypad Entry Var Complete (ON for 1 scan) (Enhanced Vision) SI 45 Numeric Key Entry Out of Limit - Counter of Attempts (Enhanced Vision) (Counts the number of failed attempts to enter a value) If a Legal Entry bit is defined, SB 94 does not turn ON if the entered value is out of range. The keypad stays on screen until a legal value is entered. You can use SI 45 in conjunction with a Compare function to exit the variable.

|
Active Keypad Entry (SBs) |
SB 32 HMI Keypad Entry in Progress (Standard Vision) rises during keypad entry |
SB 92 HMI Keypad Entry in Progress (Enhanced Vision) rises during keypad entry |
|
Keypad Entry: Focus |
After Keypad Entry, the next variable set in Variable Tab Order automatically becomes active. |
If SB 76 is OFF after Keypad Entry, the user must use the arrow keys to move to the next variable. Turning SB 76 on causes the next variable set in Variable Tab Order to automatically become active. |
|
Password Entry via HMI |
|
Legal Entry bit in Password Variable turns ON only when correct password is entered. The keypad stays on screen until a legal password is entered. To limit the number of wrong entries, you can use SI 45 in conjunction with a Compare function to exit the variable.
|
|
Entering a legal keypad entry value |
SB 250 Keypad entry Within Limits turns ON for 1 scan |
SB 94 Keypad Entry Var Complete + Keypad entry property: Legal Entry MB
