Best practice for polling inputs in the background while doing other functions simultaneously?

Hannah 1 year ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year ago 1

Hello, I am using IQAN Design and would like to know if there is a best way to poll inputs? I will need to almost constantly read several inputs and be able to control an output if any of them are in the wrong state. This is not the main functionality of the system either, so if there is a way to do this in the background that would be helpful! Otherwise, I think I would need to have some pretty complex state machines, but maybe you have a better way of doing this! Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Level Sensor In Display Page

Angus Reen 1 year ago in IQANdesign updated by Kerry Brock 1 year ago 1

Hi,


I was just wondering if anyone had a good solution for a visual tilt coordinate system in a master display? I am trying to translate a tilt sensor to a visual depiction of something similar to a Leveler Bubble like the photo I have attached to this thread. When editing a display page, you cannot set the coordinates of an image to an input channel, so that a bubble could rotate freely around the page depending on the angle of the head. Currently, the only solution I have been able to come to is having many bubbles on the display page, and showing/hiding them depending on the position of the head using internal digital channels. This does take some time, and can be inaccurate depending on the increments between each 'bubble' on your page. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Angus

Closing IqanDesign 7.03 via the menu opens the Iqandesign Help PDF.

If you close Iqandesign 7.03 via File > Exit it opens the help PDF.  I assume this is unintended behaviour?

XC43 random R4:3 3:1:7 fault after upgrading to Design 7.03.25

Dániel Novák 1 year ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 12 months ago 3

After upgrading to IQANDesign 7.03.25 from 7.02.33, the XC43 module in our system shows "no contact" error, with R4:3 3:1:7 fault code blinking. The fault goes away after system restart, but randomly gets back after several restarts (cca. with 1:50 probability). Currently 2 of 15 identical systems shows the same issue. Reviewed the logs, the faults only came after the update (the machines were under tests for about 1-2 months with software made with IQAN Design 7.02.33). The firmware update to 2.02 was successful, as I see from module info.

MD4-7 - MC42FS - XC43 multimaster system.

We will tomorrow revert to IQANDesign 7.02.33. I hope the firmware reverts too from 2.02 to 2.01, as we have to deliver the machines soon.

Probable bug in XC4x 2.02 firmware?

Generic CAN frame in

nick_namsep 1 year ago in IQANdesign updated 1 year ago 0

Hello quick question because i was not able to find it in the iqan design documentation but am i right in assuming the Generic frame in channel is a "tigger" like function? What i mean is does it update when for example my sensor send back the data does it register that it has received that frame and trigger for example the parameter reading?

It would be nice if it was possible to hide the close X button on the interactive massege.

this way the buttons must be used. and a selection must be made

Adjust groups PIN code are stacked(IQAN 7.03.25.9877)

mdonaldson 1 year ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year ago 3

Upgraded an MD4 from the latest IQAN 6 to IQAN 7 and the pin code digits are stacked on each other. I swear I have seen this before a long time ago but I can't find any reference to it in the release notes or forum posts. It does not happen in the simulator.
