application input output vs j1939 input output for master modules

Zach 11 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 5
I wondered about application inputs and outputs vs j1939 inputs and outputs for master module communication.
If I understood it correctly, an MC2 master received a digital value from an MD4 master module via an application in/out pair.
Then in another location in the program, the MD3 and MD4 exchanged information through J1939 pgns.

How do I know when to use Application in/out or J1939 in/out?

360° Rotation of Gauges

John Wambold 10 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 7 years ago 7

I have an application where I am using a gauge to display the position of a rotating object. I make the 12 o'clock position the 0° point. I noticed that as my input is rotating from clockwise, that the needle on the gauge rotates counter clockwise from 359° back to 0°.


It would be nice to have the gauge continue to rotate in a clockwise direction as my input crosses the 0° threshold.

Adjusting settings on module after login from iQAN Design?

Matt 3 days ago in IQANdesign updated 3 days ago 2

Is there a way to change values in adjust groups that are protected by user logins from iQAN Design after logging into the module using Design? I would have figured that once you logged in with Design (or Run) that the adjust group would appear in the system menu of the display module.

I'm working with Design 7.06 on a MD5.

Exporting image groups causes image file names to change

Matt 2 weeks ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 days ago 1

If I export an image group in iQAN 7.06.22, any images with a period in there name in iQAN will export without the period and anyting that follows the period. It does not matter if what follows is text or numbers.

Example: Image named "test-circle-5.2" will export as "test-circle-5"

The limit value of the Memorizing channel

Jidong Zou 3 weeks ago in IQANdesign updated 3 days ago 2

The customer encountered a strange problem, they use the MEM channel to accumulate the total mileage. The system uses MD5 and MC43FS controllers, and the programs are also separate. The customer uses the same algorithm to perform operations in two separate controllers. In MD5, everything is normal and the total accumulated mileage has been increasing all the time. However, in MC43FS, once the values accumulate to 2048km, they will no longer increase. I use the IQANsimulate to monitor that MC43FS can also break through 2048km. 

The difference between the two programs lies in their different Cycle time. MD5 is 50ms, MC43FS is 10ms.

What could be the reasons for this problem?

Text Project to Project file conversion

Greg R 3 weeks ago in IQANdesign 0

Is there any intention of being able to convert text project files into Standard Project files? Or even better opening from a text file.

Saving a project file as a text file allows for revision control and diffs. Also this could allow for LLM assisted coding and troubleshooting.

MD4 Log

Rene Arevalo 1 month ago in IQANdesign updated 1 month ago 4

An XC43 sent a COUT error to the MD4 display, which is the master module in the CAN bus network. However, the error was not logged in the MD4 log. Any idea why this might be happening?

Link the PGN of a JFIN to a channel inside an External Function, to vary the PGN

Samuel Pittet 1 month ago in IQANdesign updated 1 month ago 2

Hi,

I want to create an External Function that will contain a JFIN. 
When I will import the External Function, I would like to be able to vary the PGN property of the JFIN.
At the moment, it seems that the PGN property of the JFIN can only accept integer number, it cannot accept an integer coming from a channel.
If I insert the External Function in my project, I will not be able to change the PGN property of the JFIN because it will be locked. And I do not want to change it to the same PGN value for all the occurences of the External Function.
I would like the PGN to be a FGI to the External Function.

My use case is that I want to control Hawe PSx CAN valves where they have a different PGN for each valve section. It would be neatly integrated inside an External Function so I could reuse it for all the different valve sections I have in my project.

Any workaround?

Thank you and have a good day!
