Installation Guide 

V1210-T20BJ 

This guide provides basic information for Unitronics’ controllers V1210-T20BJ.   

General Description 

V1210 OPLCs are programmable logic controllers that comprise a built-in operating panel containing 
a 12.1

” Color Touchscreen.  

Communications 

  2 isolated RS232/RS485 ports 

  USB programming port (Mini-B) 

  Isolated CANbus port 

  The user can order and install an additional port. This may be 

either Ethernet 

or

 serial. 

  Communication Function Blocks include: SMS, GPRS, MODBUS 

serial/IP; Protocol FB enables PLC to communicate with almost 
any external device, via serial or Ethernet communications 

I/O Options 

V1210 supports digital, high-speed, 
analog, weight and temperature 
measurement I/Os via: 

  Snap-in I/O Modules 

Plug into the back of the 
controller to provide an on-
board I/O configuration 

  I/O Expansion Modules 

Local or remote I/Os may be 
added via expansion port or 
CANbus. 

 

 

Installation instructions and other data may be found in the module’s technical 
specification sheet. 

Information Mode 

This mode enables you to: 

  Calibrate the touchscreen 

  View & Edit operand values, COM port settings, RTC and screen 

contrast/brightness settings 

  Stop, initialize, and reset the PLC 

To enter Information Mode, press the touchscreen and maintain contact for 
several seconds. 

Programming 
Software,  
& Utilities 

The Unitronics Setup CD contains VisiLogic software and other utilities 

  VisiLogic  

Easily configure hardware and write both HMI and Ladder control 
applications; the Function Block library simplifies complex tasks 
such as PID. Write your application, and then download it to the 
controller via the programming cable included in the kit. 

  Utilities 

These include UniOPC server, Remote Access for remote 
programming and diagnostics, and DataXport for run-time data 
logging. 

To learn how to use and program the controller, as well as use utilities such as 
Remote Access, refer to the VisiLogic Help system.
