Editing error messages or disabling specific system errors

C. Harp 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated 7 years ago 0

I have the need to block or change the look of certain (not all) error messages that are native to IQAN. 

My specific need has to do with color. I am not allowed to display any RED on the screen due to safety reasons of the field that this is going to be used in. If i could somehow edit the messages and change from the RED icon that displays that would be fine. 

If anyone has incite on this, i would appreciate it.

 I know that i have the ability to block all messages or select which modules messages that i want to allow but i would like to keep these messages and simply change how they appear on the screen.

PGN Input

Joe 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated 7 years ago 4

Can you make the PGN input for a JFOUT be driven from a channel?  I am trying to set up an external function for a device whose PGN is based on a NODE ID.  Several of these devises can be used on the same bus and I would like to have an integer parameter to either change the node ID or the PGN itself in order to utilize one external function for all devices.

Digital Output warning

Stacy Turner 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 2

I have a digital output(A). It is shaded yellow all the time and has a warning: 'Properties Not Available'. If I add another output(B) I don't get that warning. The output does work correctly. Any ideas where the warning is coming from.

Thanks

Array channel - no resulting object

C. Drouaud 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 6

Hello,


I have a problem with an array channel Qcode. I have 4 array channel really similar, but for one of them, a variable is not accepted and I have a "no resulting object error".

See below screenshots.


Array channel that works fine (Drilling data - depth) :

if PositiveFlank(New hole) then
Drilling data - depth[Hole number] := Depth MET
endif

Image 1126Array channel that bugs (Drilling data - speed) : if PositiveFlank(New hole) then
Drilling data - speed[Hole number] := Mean speed
endif
Drilling data - speed [BUG]Both Qcode are the same axcept the variable. I try to re-write several times the code, I always select the variable from the suggested list.
For your information, I work with IQANdesign 4.07 version. It is not the forst time I have so weird error like that. Once, in a Math function, I had to add *1 not to have an error.
Thanks in advance for the help !

Spliting value in 2 byte in generic frame

C. Drouaud 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Jonas Bengtsson 5 years ago 3

Hi everyone,


I need to send a generic frame, but the generic parameters are not always the same size. For example, in a certain mode, I have to send four 2-bytes parameter on my frame and in another mode, I have to send eight 1-byte parameter.


How can I manage this ? Can I split the 2-bytes parameters in two 1-byte parameter so I have just 8 generic 1-byte parameter (value depending on the mode) ?


Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Flexibility with sorting modules or FGs in desired order under Functionality and System branches

Pawel Pekala 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 7 years ago 3

Would be nice to have same flexibility with sorting modules or FGs in desired order as in User Interface/display pages. 

Answer

You do that by moving them around in the Calculation Order dialog.

Master to master comunication efficencies?

Forrest 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 7 years ago 1

I am considering a MD4, MC42 and MC41 system vs. the current MD3 with a pair of  XA2 modules for a revamp comming up.


Does version 5 comunicate between masters more efficently than V4?

How about V6, and if so, about when can I expect it?


How many packets of information can I send before the bandwidth gets clogged and performance is impacted?


Is there a way to set J1939 inputs to autmatically generate when an J1939 ouput is created in another master?

If not, please consider it for a future revision.
