Hi forum users,

I have a project. I want to make connection like this.

Is there any problem ( connection interrupt , data loss etc.)  if I make the connection as in the picture?

Should I change the communication speed?

m=meter.

Thank you for your help.

Regards. :)

Is there a way to adjust SPN 3350 of the TSC1 control in IQAN or will I need to build my CAN message manually to accomplish this?  It looks like it defaults to 31 and I need it to be 2.

When an application is loaded/started with a MD4 as master, and the display language is Japanese. After start up the display remains black for 10 seconds. Then the start display appears. When english is the choosen language, there is no time between start up the application and showing the display page. For a user it is as the display of the MD4 is broken when showing the display page is taken so long.

Hello,

I recently came across an "Invalid Reference" error in a FSM channel. I reviewed the contents of the states and the transitions between them and I didn't find anything that stands out as abnormal. This is the first time I have come accross an Invalid Reference error and I cannot identify the source. Could you please advise?

Thanking you,

Best Regards,

Nico

It would be nice to be able to use a Digital Parameter (Adjust Item) in a Text or Custom button and not have to have it open to a the menu page.   Treat it like a Toggled Vdin. 

I have a J1939 message that transmits 8 ascii characters.  I would like to display those characters as text on an MD4 screen.

Is there a way to convert a sequence of J1939 parameter ins to ascii characters to show in via a text parameter?

It would be a nice feature to be able to display the Screen information in Measure mode (IQAN DESIGN and IQAN RUN). I often do remote monitoring or troubleshooting and it is not always easy to fully understand what the operator is seeing or sometimes telling what to do. Also sometimes the operator may not notice something on the screen which would allow me to quickly diagnose the issue. For example it took 2 hours the other day to realize that the operator E-Stop was pressed. The operator was complaining about an issue totally different and it took a while to realize that the issue was very simple.

So it would be good if we had the ability to see the screen as the operator sees it. It may not be practical or even recommended to allow a remote user to interact with the screen. I can live with that. Just display a a dumb monitor.

I have read the section on Static Variables in the IQAN Design User manual at least a dozen times, but I still don't understand the use of static variables. I have used them to declare and initialize a variable a couple times with good success. A static variable should store a value between application cycles, but I don't know what an application cycle is...is it a reference to system cycle time, power cycle, or if use in a function with multiple states? Thanks,

Would it be possible to add so an IDC can show/hide a layer group on a display page?
