I am new to setting up parameters and bit offsetting - I am wondering  how I can group bytes together. I have a GFOUT that is 8 bytes in data length. I have to send a values to byte 1 and 2. One value I have to send to byte 1 is 500 dec which requires 2 bytes or 9 bits. If I change it to either or, there is an overlap. 

For the machine we are building the initial pwm peak on the C-out channel interups the machine. Is it possible to adjust the intial peak?

I am able to enter the unicode character for omega (Ω) into a display page for an MD4 but the MD4 just displays a blank space wherever it is used. I tried displaying it as a Unit with a Value Control as well as plain text in a Label Control with the same results.

Is this a bug?

For reference I have IQAN Design 6.08.24.8136.

This is what the display page looks like in IQAN Design:

Here is the display on the MD4:

I am trying to send SDOs to a CANopen signal converter. Manufacturer has given me a script to follow but not sure how I would integrate this using the generic CAN frame-in/out channels. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hello,

I'm pretty confused about something.

Right now I have a single 4 Byte JPIN with a dedicated JFIN.

Standard 1 resolution per bit with no offset.

And I'm displaying it with an unlimited Value Control with automatic width.

32 bits should go up to 4,294,967,295 (0xFFFFFFFF).

The highest I can slide the slider in IQANsimulate is 2,115,669,120 (0x7E1A8C80).

And the highest that will be displayed in the Value Control is 2,000,000,000 (0x77359400).

Is this a limitation of the simulator, and it'll work fine on the machine?

Or is it a real limitation of the JFIN/JPIN?

Regards,

Hello,

I am using a MC43 to try and drive some hobbyist 9-gram servos for a project. We are using a unidirectional, HS-only PWM_OUT channel to try and move the servo with a signal of 1100-1900 us. We have tried to setup several resistor networks and logic level converters to get the 12V signal from the MC43 to the 5V threshold for the servos. However none of them have worked. Additionally, we are also noticing that the signal from the MC43 only goes between +5V and +12V when a pull down resistor is applied between the signal and ground.

First time using CANopen and we are trying to set up the parameters for an Axiomatic CAN controller to send analog outputs. Took a look at some examples on IQAN and going through the EDS file but still a bit lost on where to start. Looking for any insight from those who have experience configuring this type of device. Thanks!

I'm adding a Axiomatic RTC controller with J-1939 to a legacy machine. When I revise the IQAN 6 software, can both the RTC and TDA be enabled at the same time without errors? If RTC and TDA are enabled and the external TDA (External RTC controller) is not present, will the MD4 default back to the internal RTC?

When I am using the parameters menu to adjust any of my integer parameters, there is a Reset... option in the kebab menu, what is the intent of that function?   It seems to recall the stored/retained value from the beginning of the current power cycle, not the parameter's default value.

There is some reference to mode 0 in the resulting dialog box:

Notice I have had to manually add default value text descriptors since there is no clear mechanism to reset to factory defaults.

This is IQANdesign 6...8136, MD4-7, the behavior of the simulator and the device are consistent.

I have a system that wirelessly connects an XC21 to MD4 and occasionally it drops connection momentarily. The time the CAN is down is very brief, only ms and it reconnects and communicates again after the disruption.

Although the module reconnects, it leaves an error on screen that the operators have to clear. Is there any way of either extending the delay for displaying the message (assuming there is some damping built in the firmware) or clearing the message automatically, or perhaps even switching this message off?
