Re-Lock an adjust group , without having to power cycle
We have several customers who dislike having to cycle power on the display after a technician has unlocked an adjustment group with a PIN code. They have critical operations that do not allow for resetting the master, but want to re-lock an adjustment group, be it by clicking a button or else on a timeout.
Hello David.
If you use a Pin code channel (PCC) as the pin code for entering the adjust group you can set the condition for resetting the lock yourself.
You could for example use the SIC 'Menu system open' as resetting condition (when it is not true).
Then you would need to enter the PIN code every time you close the menu
How to acess the system temperature? Which is shown in the display module inside MD4 or LC5 or XA2.
You can right cliick on the hardware, and then select the temperatue. it will then have this block in the main functionality.

Is it possible to divide/split a text somehow?
Is it possible to divide/split a text somehow? I use the Project/properties/version as 1.0.0 (Major.Minor.Fix) and would like to be able to split this into three separate objects containing major, minor and fix as separate numbers. A function for dividing the parameter based on a limiter or a function for retrieving for exsample the first two characters from the left or the 3 characters from position 3.

Stoted data communication through CAN bus for printing.
We know the stored data can be downloaded through IQAN run and printout can be taken. But one application customer is asking for the printout of the stored data in the machine itself, without connecting any Laptop. Small thermal printer can be used. As MD4 do not have any serial port, so we want to use another CAN controller which can connect serial printer for printing. Now our concern is to send the Stored data through CAN bus to other CAN controller. Please explain how to do that.
Activating internal digital when display page changes.
Is there a way to active an internal digital channel when a current display page changes? I have an application where a function needs to be turned off anytime that the operator leaves the respective operation screen. There are multiple operation screens with this function.
we've done this before using a system information channel, set to 'active display page' this will give a numerical value based on what page is up, and you can then run it into logic.
Display control channel - DCC in MD4?
I have an application where the display backlight needs to be selected from a display page designed for the vehicle operator. The customer needs two selections only, which are DAY and NIGHT, for their operators.
The actual % levels for Day and Night will be set in the adjust groups which will be password protected with access only to their technicians.
In the IQAN Design manual, it references the “Display control channel – DCC” to control the display backlight.I can find this channel in the MD3, but it apparently does not exist in the MD4.
Is there a way to do this in the MD4-7?
Thanks
joystick with double functions
Hello,
i want to use the standard lc6 joystick for multiple functions.
Example:
If i want to adjust the cilinders on the left side of the blade, i press the rocker ( proportional ) down, then press forwards for the '1 left' function and then i move the joystick left or right to open or close the '1 left' function.
Witch function is the advise to use? the Q code could be an option i assume.
Thanks,
Kind Regards Christophe

disabling redundant J1939 joysticks?
I use J1939 joysticks. In the past, each joystick required a dedicated program. This time around I am trying to cover all current and expected joystick options, then enable the correct one(s) in the settings.
It sort of works, but I still get errors on start-up saying the disabled ones are not connected.
I am using Design 4.04, and the C CAN network on an MD3 module for the joystick(s) and a J1939 switch-pad. I have the module enable with an IDC driven by an adjustment group setting and the software functional group enabled by the same IDC.
