Hi Guys,

Is it still the case that if you have multi PLC's say MD4, MC41, MC42 that to transmit from say the MD4 to the MC42, you have to create a J1939 Generic device copy of each module or is there a better way now? Also, if say we have the engine connected to the MC42 but want to read some engine CAN messages on the MD4, is there an easy way or lots of JPOUTs and JPINS between modules?

Good morning, in a lifting machine controlled by an MC43, in the software I made counters to decrease the hours of life. Now I have to link this decrease to how much weight I'm moving. I read the weight from can open and turn it into a vector function Then with this I should vary the amount of time in percentage of the weight. That is, with weight 100% decrease 1, with weight 10% decrease 0.1. The question is which function can I use to perform this function?

Anyone else having issues entering decimals in a lookup table?  Sometimes the decimal takes, sometimes not.

We would like to import a short video (3-4 seconds) into our MD4 project but cannot find a way to achieve this easily.

It states in IQAN Design that a simple animation can be achieved by inserting several images but we wondered if there was a reason why video had specifically been excluded? If the hardware is capable would it be possible to request inserting this into IQAN Design in the future?

Anyone have any suggestions for a possible solution please? I can break the images down but I'm aware it could be several static images required to form a 3 second clip that isn't too jerky!

Hi All,

Is there a nice simple way to have a button on the MD4 display that will pop up a number key pad asking the user to create of change a PIN that doesn't require them knowing the default? The idea is for our radio Bluetooth PIN code. The user just selects four number on the key pad, this is then sent out as a CAN message. We can display the current PIN via CAN in etc.

I have a pulse counter that I want to read the raw value from. According to the manual I should set:

Max = 1000

Scaled max = 1000

However I still get half pulses, how is this possible?

When scrolling in a Qcode function with errors the red warning squares do not end up at the correct line.

It would be very helpful to have this when fixing a copied function with many Undefined variables.

What is the proper syntax for the QCode MEM functions. I am trying to use QAdd, QSubtract, and QReplace. In some instances I want add 1, subtract 1, or jump to a predefined value based on four IDC channel status. 

When comparing two applications, the scroll bar on the far left does not work properly. If you drag the scroll thumb down a bit (50% or so) and click to the left of it to access the page where the discrepancy lies, you end up back at the top of the page. You may have to drag it down a couple of times and click to the left to see what I am talking about.

Version 5.07 is now released, with a subset of the updates from IQANdesign 6.02.

Feature update

New Qcode keyword ”This”

Sometimes a calculation channel needs to refer to its own value from the previous cycle. Previously, this was done using the channel name, now the keyword This can be used.

Example:

//Blink, use IDC delay-on and delay-off to set the duration
Result := not(This)
