How to Upload Project from UniOP EK-02 (6ZA982-7) Panel to PC: Software and Cable Recommendations

Question:

Hello! Can you assist me with uploading a project from a UniOP EK-02 (6ZA982-7) panel to a PC? I have tried using Designer 6&5 software, but it has not been successful. Can you recommend the correct software and cable needed for this task? I have attempted to use a cable configuration labeled CA2 that I found online. Thank you in advance for your help and best regards.

Hey Dekorn, have you figured out which software and cable will solve the issue we are both experiencing? Let me know your thoughts. Best regards, Bob.

If you do not have a physical port on your laptop, utilize a USB to serial adapter when configuring the CA2 Cable. It is crucial to ensure that the panel is in configuration mode before attempting to upload, as communication may not be established otherwise. Research the specific model to determine the necessary actions to enter configuration mode.

Thank you, Arpus, for your assistance. I have been facing difficulties with this control panel for some time now. I have installed both Designer 6.10 and Designer 5.08 on an older Windows XP laptop that has a real serial port. I have adjusted the baud rate to 9600. The panel is currently in configuration mode, and I have followed your suggestion to use the CA2 cable. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bob.

I have installed designer 6.10 and designer 5.08 on an old Windows XP laptop, which has a real serial port. I have adjusted the baud rate to 9600, but the panel is still in CONFIGURATION MODE even after using the recommended CA2 cable. Please see the attached file for more information (Attachment ID: 69578). To troubleshoot, ensure that your serial port is functioning properly by conducting a loopback test. Verify that you are connected to the correct port, whether it is a PLC/PC port or a PLC port with no printer port. In the latter case, you may need a gender changer to connect to the correct port. Experiment with different baud rates and explore the communication settings in the config mode on the panel. Since I do not have extensive experience with these panels, I can only offer basic troubleshooting advice. You may need to perform various tests to determine if data is transmitting properly. Consider testing with a known good panel to rule out any issues with the current panel. Your patience and efforts will be crucial in resolving this issue.

Hello everyone, I am encountering an issue with a UniOP model EK02, part number 6ZA982. The screen has malfunctioned, and despite our efforts, we have been unable to repair it. The manufacturer of our machine has informed me that the screen is now obsolete and has provided me with the necessary software. I am now in need of a replacement screen and guidance on how to install the new software. Can anyone recommend a source for purchasing a new screen and provide instructions on downloading the software onto it? Thank you.

Hey! For the UniOP EK-02 panel, rather than Designer 6&5, I'd recommend you try using Exor UniOP Designer software. It's designed specifically for this type of panel, and many users find it more user-friendly. As for the cable, the CA3 should work just fine, I found the CA2 is not always compatible. Remember to correctly match the COM port on the software to your PC's. Hope this helps!

Hello! It sounds like you're having some trouble, but don't worry, I think I can help. My first suggestion would be to try using UniOP Designer 6 software with an Ethernet connection if possible, as it's usually more reliable for transferring projects. The CA2 cable configuration might be causing issues. Make sure you're using the correct drivers for this cable as well. If this doesn't work, it may be worth reaching out directly to the panel's manufacturer or a technical support line for more specific guidance. Hope this helps and best of luck with your project transfer!

Hello! While Designer 6&5 is generally a good software for most panels, the UniOP EK-02 has its own peculiarities. You're going to need a special program called Exor UniOP Designer 6 that's designed specifically for that model of panel controllers. And, instead of the CA2 cable, try using the CB4 or CB9 cable. The CB4 is a direct connection while the CB9 is used for isolated connections. That should ideally resolve your issue. Don't forget to check your panel and PC COM ports configuration as well. Good luck!

Hi there! I've encountered a similar issue before with my UniOP panel. I may have a suggestion for you - you might want to consider using UniOP Designer 32 software for this task. This software is compatible with various UniOP panels and is often more reliable. As for the cable, it sounds like you’re using the right one. Cable CA2 as you mentioned is typically used with UniOP panels. You could also use a straight-through RS232 cable. Also, make sure to check the COM port settings and ensure they're configured correctly. Hope this helps!

Hi there! It sounds like you're on the right track, but to successfully upload your project from the UniOP EK-02, you'll definitely want to use the UniOP Designer software, as the versions can sometimes be finicky. Make sure you're using the correct cable; the CA2 configuration should work if it's compatible, but sometimes the PC's COM port settings can cause issues as well. Double-check the baud rate and other communication settings to ensure they match your panel's configuration. If you've done all that and it's still not working, you might want to try a different USB-to-serial adapter since not all of them handle the communication properly. Good luck, and I hope you get it sorted out soon!
