There are several options to interface between a Vision PLC's and panels directly to computer network and software tools.
Our customers worldwide use many SCADA packages. We know for sure about Wonderware’s InTouch, Indusoft, , Citect, RSview etc.
There are two ways to communicate with these programs:
- If you wish to communicate using MODBUS – you need to configure the PLC to be MODBUS slave. You can find the slave address table in help topic as captured below:
- If you wish to communicate using OPC server:

You can use Unitronics OPC server (You can download UniOPC server from: Then you need to configure OPC server as described in UniOPC help.)
When using a OPC server different than UniOPC - take care about naming convention.
- You can create a CSV file with the SD tools/ Excel utilities/ created excel delimited line . This file will be save to a SD card and then you can send it via e-mail.
- Use the option "message composer" and protocol blocks to build the message you receive and on the computer then create a program that will link this message with Oracle.
- In our web page there are some DLL -.net a VB6- that you can use to read information from the PLC. Then you may create a program that will copy this information to a SQL data base.

In this cases you may need a PC programmer to do the connection between the oracle DB and the data you received from the Vision PLC.
