Hello,

I like to use the application default value, 'max current', of a COUT in a math channel. Is this possible? I don't want to use integer parameters because you loose the standard adjustable menu of the COUT channel.

Kind regards,

Robin

I am using a MD3 with the cycle time set to 10ms under the Main Group.

The cycle time needs to be that low because it is important for the IQAN system to be as responsive as possible for the machine it is being used in and prevent a malfuntion. As time has progressed the IQAN program has evolved the utilization rate has continued to climb.

Is it possible to have a multi-threaded program, or maybe multiple main groups? I'm thinking 1 main group with all the critical functions with a cycle time of 10ms and a seperate group with a higher cycle time of say 50ms.

I am making use of function groups and disabling them as needed but I was hoping for a better solution esp. for the critical time sensitive functions.

Hi

To control a visco fan clutch a low frequency PWN signal is needed ideal 1 to 5 Hz

a standard Iqan PWM goes only as low as 10 Hz.

is it a problem to use a Dout and plus this output? using a timer and change the on period?

2 issues I have ran across with IQAN Design 4.02.16

1) Some time when working the Select All function stops working. I have to close the program and restart it to use it again.



2) When resizing a Comment Box it will jump left and up quite a bit. It doesn't stay fixed in the location it was in before.
On a side note of that it would also be nice that when you copy and paste a comment it remains the same size. Currently when you past it it goes to a define size instead of what was copied.

We have written our own code reader (DM1) for engine which works in 3.19 but when converted to 4.02 it does not read the PGN's and reads as false (not evaluated). The PGN's have always had a warning of "invalid Identifier" since Iqan 3 but still would read and worked fine. Now they are not evaluated. The PGN's are 65226, 60416, and 60160 and I believe are necessary for reading DM1 faults and BAM messaging.

Is there a change in 4.02 that would cause this? How do I get these to read?

Hi Guys,

New to IQAN so please be kind lol.

I normally write in CodeSys.

I have a pulse input in to a MD4-7. I want to now take that pulse and modify it with an adjust group I have to create a modified pulse that I can then read with a gauge.

I have the pulse in, I have the adjust group, what do I use to read these?

Can anyone advise how big a log record is (analogue values) so that I can determinate the capacity of the logging memory in terms of number of records. Is all of the 64MB available for logging or is some reserved for system logs?

Hi All,

Is there any way to import a single image and rotate it on a MD4-7? Othere than creating multipal images at different rottions?

I have a potential application where I would need to display streams from 2 axis cameras. One will be a visual light unit and the other will be a thermal imaging unit. I guess I will need to use a POE switch to connect the units to a screen. Has anyone tried this type of set up?

Also the visual light camera has a zoom function - how could this be controlled via IQAN?

Help!!!

I have been working all morning on a sequential application and on doing a save - Iqandesign has completely frozen and eventually crashed windows!

Unfortunately I made the fatal error of not pressing the save button frequently enough and so the only live file on my machine is the one I started with at 8.30 this morning!!

There is a backup file which appears to be from just before the crash but when I try to open it Iqan is telling me that it was made by a previous version of Iqandesign 4

Is there any way of finding out which version and is it possible to download older versions - I can't find them on the parker website - only the latest version.
