Two new IQANdesign video tutorials:

IQAN-MC4xFS tutorial part 1, redundancy and diagnostics

This tutorial on the Parker IQAN-MC4xFS functional safety controllers show how IQANdesign can be used to build up safety functions, focusing on the concepts of redundancy and diagnostics.

IQAN-MC4xFS tutorial part 2, safety related function groups

This second part of the tutorial about Parker IQAN-MC4xFS functional safety controllers show how IQANdesign is used when organizing safety functions in safety related function groups.

Hi,

We have lots of issues, epically where languages are concerned, where text lengths are to long to fit in the text box etc.

Having the ability to scroll the text would be a great asset.

Can function group width boundaries be adjustable to allow better visibility on FGIs and FGOs channels?  

There is a bug while editing state diagrams. When connecting state transitions, then trying to move the head of the transition, it disappears.

Now move the arrow head to State 2. It disappears.  The title and any qcode disappears also.

Now create a transition from 0 to 2

Then the following transitions

Now Ctrl-z to undo and you get a crash.

Two known issues in IQANdesign 6.02.7

IQANdesign crash when copying grouped display page controls. 

Can be avoided by ungrouping before copy. Case 50091.

A crash will also come if you copy a complete display page, either from the list view or by using Ctrl+A before copy. 

Selecting multiple display controls using the mouse and then copying is fine. Case 50093.

Any chance to have external function file name browse button where you can click and point to external function location?

Would MD4 display scroll option be possible in future?

Idea:

To have an text array channel with a free index and the possibility to fill the array with importing 2 colums from exel.

Example to use: 

DM1 from engine.........you get many different SPN numbers, SAE-defined, but also proprietary SPNs.

If you have determined the SPN numbers from the actual errors, you would like to show the error text on the display.

Beside DM1, it could be very helpful for DM2..........

Now I have the SPN numbers.

For every SPN number, I use a IMAC to create an index from 0 - max.

I use the value from the IMAC as mode selector in a State Parameter.

To show only 8 random SPN error texts, it takes about 2.5 msec..........this is not the main problem.

The Design editor is now very slow: I need to show at least 24 SPN error values.

Hello,

Would it be possible in future IQAN 6 releases to expand capabilities of TP such that we could tie in MAC or sensor values directly into text parameter itself?  Please see attached picture.

We could then take this TP and have it displayed. It would be even better if text colors would change based on SMC in this case Smart Cylinder Sensor SMC

Cheers

Just coming up on the one year for my Iqan Design license and got a reminder message.  Went and paid for renewal.  Received new license number instead of just extending existing.  But i cannot find tools in Iqan design to update the License number... Do i Have to uninstall then re-install the license.  Seems cumbersome and does not match what is in the FAQ Section:" 5. What is IQANdesign update subscription?
IQANdesign update subscription gives you bug fixes and new features for one year at a lower cost. Even major updates are included. When you purchase a new IQANdesign license, you will get the first update subscription for free. A year after the purchase you will receive an offer to extend your subscription for another year. It is also possible to enable auto-renewal of the subscription in the IQAN store."

Do not seem to find an Auto renewal option.
