VisiLogic Utilities
SD Cards
Enhanced Vision controllers support SD cards. The V570 supports standard-
sized SD cards; V130, V350 and V1070 support micro SD cards. In the V570
series, the slot is located at the top of the controller; in V130, V350 and V1070
the slot is located on the right side.
What can I do with an SD card?
"Clone" a complete PLC, via Information mode or via SD Clone Ladder
elements.
SD Ladder Functions enable you to read/write data between an SD Card
and PLC memory operands, including blocks of file data, Data Tables, and
Trend data.
Store Alarms History on SD.
Use Information Mode or SD Clone Ladder elements to upload/download
OS firmware and compressed VisiLogic Applications, Data Tables, and
operand values to/from an SD card, and to backup and even completely
'clone' a PLC.
Use Unitronics' SD Card Explorer, included in the SD Card Suite, to
transfer SD files from PLC to PC--or, if the PLC comprises an Ethernet
card, send files via email attachment.
View and execute files on the PLC display via the HMI element SD
Browser.
Host complex Web pages using the program in the .zip file located at:
http://www.unitronics.com/data/uploads/communication/WebServer.zip.
Use the tools in SD Card Suite to:
- Format the SD Card.
- Convert, view, and read/write the data to/from PC.
- Export that data to Excel or as an .csv file.
- Remotely view, open, copy, or delete SD card files via serial, CANbus, or
Ethernet.
