Highlighted updates

New gateway module IQAN-G11 added

The IQAN CAN bus to bluetooth dongle IQAN-G11 added in IQANdesign. More information will follow when hardware and apps are released.

Qcode improvements

Show most sever error as status on row.

Improve Qcode auto-completion.

Include Qcode instructions in channel hint when Qcode is selected

Camera

Added module for Generic camera as alternative to IQAN-SV.

Functionality similar to IQANdesign 3.x

Show unit on scaled max and scaled min

For VIN, PWMIN, FIN, DFIN, PCNT and DPCNT

Also added unit to reset value for MEM, TMR. PCNT, DPCNT

New solution library examples

Added IQANdesign example files for:

• Start button NO NC (both project file .ids4 and simulation file .isa4)
• J1939 Fluid Property Sensor (FPS)
• J1939 particle counter IPDR (iCount)

Added IQANscript example files for:

• Get system info and clone (.iss4 script file, installs with IQANscript

It would be fantastic to have a script to import .DBC files that would generate automatically the GFIN/JFIN GFOUT/JFOUT as well as the associated JPIN/GPIN JPOUT/GPOUT. That would literally save be weeks of typing and may mistakes!

I am experiencing a problem when a IQANDesign 7.02 application file will be opened with IQANDesign 7.05.25.10808 :

All page Dialog Position Width and Height have a Value not within limits error, I think the proporty valid range is to low (200-0)

Can this be changed or is it a bug ?

For military application, I need to be able to disable the diagnostic LED on the MC4x controllers. 
As we can have no lights on in blackout mode.  

Is there a way we can configure this LED control via a digital channel.   

If In blackout mode, LED is disabled.   

Hello,

I have a quick question regarding the different expansion and master modules for a project i am working on. I want to implement the newer modules with new software on a mobile hydraulic machine but i am getting a bit confused with the safety differences between the modules.

I am currently in the planning phase of looking what modules i am going to use and how to implement the software the most efficient way. I am planning to use a new MD-5 with MC or XC expansion modules. But seeing as there is a MC43FS version which is rated for safety it not totally clear to me what the safety functions are that that module provides over a non FS version?

In the manuals and datasheets i was able to find is that it does real time checks and has redundancy on the in and output which is nice. But that got me wondering if the XC modules have that self check as well? for example if one output from the XC modules gets broken or disconnect from the valves does that also show that the output is not connected or broken or? Because that would make error detection and tracing way easier in the future of the project

If someone could help me a bit with these questions that would be great!

Thanks in advance,

Nick

I have two systems that do the exact same function but one is smaller and uses an MD4-5 and the other is larger and uses an MD4-7.

Is it possible to use a variant project to switch the application between the displays? I played around with the variants and it doesn't seem possible to change out master modules in a variant project.

Why is the Delay off not taken into an Internal Digital Channel (IDC) in Toggle mode? The Delay on time works fine.

Variant Program issue:

Facing 5 such errors in the program carried on from a variance program now to the idsx file. Unable to find the error upon double clicking the associated project check error line.

Type: Error | Code: Undefined reference | Component Type: Channel Subscriber | Component Name: Air Reel On IDC | Property: Channel

Tried manually looking out through the whole program to find where the channel subscriber is unable to look for these but have so far failed. Why isn't it showing the location upon double clicking the error line as it does with everything else in the project check dialog box.

Designing multiple graphics pages for a project and noticed if I accidently delete a line/graphic/text and hit the undo button, it resets back to system information page. Seems to only do it when re-instating a deleted item, rather than if you just edit an item. It also looses your zoomed profile on the display page screen you were on (if its set to 80% zoom for example) which is frustrating.

Appears to only do it on display pages, not in application logic. Iqan Design 7.04.

May not be a bug, but cant see why it would be beneficial to act like this?

It would be nice to be able to select from a range of label sizes on the gauges - similar to 'tiny, small, medium', etc for the regular label sizes.  When I have to make a gauge small in size the default text can overlap, causing me to hide the default labels and make separate smaller labels at each marker tick.  

Hope that makes sense.
