Good Afternoon,

For a project of mine, I am using a MHC0150MN06F3J013FD sensor from tempotronics with the source address of 253. I can reach this sensor using the JFIN channel on this source address with PGN65535. What I would like to do is add another of these sensors which have a standard source address set to 253 and change that source address to, for example, 252. I have looked into the datasheet of the sensor and it seems this should be done by changing Byte 9 on PGN 65240 using a JFOUT channel. My problem however is that I cannot reach Byte 9 because of the maximum length of 8 Bytes per data package of the J1939 protocol. In the IQANDesign datasheet, I can see the multi-packet option available (to send a second package for the source address) for the JFOUT function but in my IQANDesign 5 it does not show up in the property manager. Am I looking in the wrong direction here? Is there a standard function for changing the source address of a connected device? 

Thank you in advance!

Kind Regards,

On one of our mobile control systems we have encountered a situation where the wrong pin reference is shown on the display.

We have added a low-side output to our XC43, but it is not connected yet. The channel we have added is C2:65. Since we have not yet connected this output, it shows in IQAN with a red open-load indictor.

On our MD4-5 display however, the error message indicates C2:64 as the faulty channel. Might this be a refence error?

System:

IQAN 6.02.10.5706

IQAN MD4-5 (touch) master

CAN A: G11

CAN B: HS Exp: XC43

CAN C: Exp: XC21

The built in DM1/DM2 viewer is a great function, but it seems to be really limited. When using an MD4 in portrait mode there isn't enough room to display everything. It would be great if it could text wrap or if the line could be selected to read the whole text. Another option could be only displaying SPN and FM1 then select to bring up the dialog again that contains all the information.

Also, is the DM1 viewer able to show more than 1 message at a time? In simulate it does not?

Hi IQAN Team -

It would be great if the Import DBC feature allowed to import J1939-formatted DBCs. We use this format quite often to have scaled and offset signals. However, the IQAN import feature only supports the import as Generic CAN ! I presume this is just an oversight, and should be an easy fix for the IQAN devs.

We are almost there...

Thanks !

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?
