For a new project where I have to make an inputs and outputs configuration, we are have running Iqan design 6 beta, our problem now is that is is not possible anymore to open iqan design 5 applications in Iqan design 5 by clicking the filename. All the applications are opening in Iqan design 6, and that SW doesn't support the older expension modules. 

The next problem is that for our data management container double clicking is the only way to open files.

It is also not possible to change the program by change the default program in the settings of windows 7 or 10.

I have uninstalled the 6 beta from my computer and I had a little bit of trouble to let the Iqan design 5 applications normal again.

Is this solved in the released design 6 version?

Kind regards Laura

Hi,

     I am new to this environment. if any one guide me on how to design and upload code to MC43 controller.

     Step by step guide will helpfull.

    Thanks in Advance

I'm using IQANdesign 5.04.14.5377. When laying out a new machines program, typically all the I/O is placed in the master application just as a place holder. Then, function groups are setup and the I/O is arranged into the desired function groups for programming the control logic. The issue is when a channel is dropped from the master app to the new function group, it lands way down the page. It take 20-30 sec. to grab the channel and move it back to the top of the page. is this a glitch or was this intended to be this way?  

I'm having trouble getting my MC43 to adjust date/time via the TDA message.

I am attempting to send the message through PCAN and I am simulating my display which has SA 18h.

The message I am sending is highlighted below 18D52718h

Time: 16:38:10

Date: 2019 May 21

TDA is enabled in the MC43 program and I am on CAN C.  Does it have to be on the diagnostic CAN bus in order to work?

I want to control COUT from 0-1500mA in MC41 with single directional in three states. 

How can I set parameters of COUT ?

Is there a way to set the DLC of a j1939 frame out?

It would be really useful to be able to search on Qcode comments. For example, if a developer tagged changes with  some sort of date code comment such as "ChangeLog_032_20190527", then it would be nice to be able to search this.

IQANdesign 5.04.14 is now available on check for updates. 

This version solves an issue where a camera image could occasionally fail to show after system startup, it could occur on MD4 systems with multiple SV cameras. See release notes:

http://divapps.parker.com/divapps/iqan/Downloads/IQANdesign%205/ReleaseNotes5.04.14.htm

We have a machine here with 3 MC43's and an MD4 - the program seems to load in all the modules fine but on startup MC43-1 is showing offline (like it's started in safe mode maybe?).  We checked the address (ID) tag and it seems to have the correct resistance but when we measure Add_L_voltage - it is reading 3.58 V which seems to be above the 3 V that would put it into safe mode and we get the system mismatch error (3 red flashes followed by 3 yellow.  We have tried 3 modules with the same result (the program was loaded in by Ethernet and by canbus with the same results).

Any ideas as to where/what to check that would cause this voltage to be reading high (assuming that is the problem)?

FYI - when I pull the program from the system (Get Project) the MC43-1 program gets pulled along with the others which makes me think it is in safe mode.

From the manual:

"Safe mode
This is a special start-up mode that is used for master modules and puts the unit in a
safe state without starting any application. You may bypass loading the application in
the MC4x on start up (enter safe mode) in two ways.
1 If the ADDR_L voltage > 3.00V (ADDR_L pin shorted to ADDR_H) is detected
when the module starts (during power up) the application will not be loaded. When safe
mode is desired, a jumper is put across pins 4 and 20 on the C1 connector, in place of
an ID-Tag.
2 The MC4x will also start in safe mode if the ID-Tag is absent. This is an easier
method since you can just remove 1 wire of the ID-Tag "
