Fetch Data. Fast.

Vuniq features an industry leading high-performance communications engine, and includs an extensive collection of drivers for PLC’s. Vuniq performs data requests to different PLC's simultaneously using multi-threading in order to ensure that you’ll get your data as fast as possible. There’s no need to predefine data blocks. Just reference the data and Vuniq does all the rest.

Data Integrity

Vuniq makes sure your data is always up-to-date. In the case of communications error or a timeout, your data is immediately updated to reflect the problem. When changing values, Vuniq does not update the read values until the next time they are fetched from the PLC.

Transparent Distributed Communications

Vuniq stations can easily share real-time information with minimal configuration effort. Information is sent only when needed, or only upon change of value, thus minimizing network traffic. You can design your network to work in peer-to-peer fashion or in server-client mode. Vuniq network communication can also be configured for redundancy.

Complex Expressions

In addition to letting you define aliases to use instead of addresses, Vuniq lets you use complex expressions and formulae incorporating multiple variables, constants or functions. Vuniq includes a rich set of mathematical and string functions that let you perform useful transformations on your data before it is displayed or stored.

Setup and Go

Communication setup is as simple as selecting a driver and a handful of communication parameters. There's no need to restart Vuniq for changes to take effect. In fact, you don't even have to click an OK button. Changes you make to communication ports are immediately reflected. The settings pane in the data sources window also lets you further customize the behavior of ports, such as balancing write and read operations, block fragmentation or automatically disabling communication to problematic stations on multi-drop connections.

Up-to-Date Statistics

The data sources window also provides a host of statistical information about communications to let you fine-tune performance, or isolate communication problems. The information displayed includes the update rate, the number of read blocks, read rate, write rate, throughput and response time.
