Would be nice to be able to using an Array in Initialization.

I'm currently storing Screen ID's in an array, this array doesn't change so would be nice to initialize it, and not have it calculating each cycle.

I'll likely post a second idea about this, but on the topic of Arrays, would be nice to be able to store text in a Array.

Does Enabling/Disabling a Function Group have any effect on performance?
Does the code in the function group still run when it's disabled?

We have a G12 installed in a system, and I seem unable to connect using IQANDesign 7. IQAN Run 7 works fine and I can see values etc but if I monitor in IQAN Design it refuses to connect. The flash sequence on G12 is 'connected' but I cant seem to get it to work, it eventually errors.

I may be missing something, does anyone have any advice? IQAN Go on the mobile appears to work fine, no issues.

We have a system with MD3 and XA2, the XA2 expansion CAN is made wireless using Maknetek transmitter and receiver. No issues for around 10 years service. 

Recently upgraded the MD3 to touch screen MD4-5, rest of the system remains identical. We have copied the application file across exactly but are experiencing intermittent drop outs of the wireless bus, resulting in CAN no contact XA2 messages on screen. They are brief and not permanent, only loss for a moment.

The manual for wireless transmitter and receiver states that the bandwidth is limited (understandable) and thus it will miss transmission if too much data is sent. Is there increased CAN traffic on expansion bus when going between 4.07.14.3816 (MD3) and 5.08? The data we are sending and receiving in the software is identical, just wondering if there is more being sent behind the scenes for example module management, diagnostics etc? 

We slowed the polling on expansion bus, and this seemed to help, although because its intermittent we wont know for a week or so. Just seeing if it could be a possibility.

I have an event counter in my program that is used to control 9 different setpoints, based on a button press. On start-up, I want the value to default to 6. Does the reset value on the event counter channel act as a default value?

We have a system with 1 x MC43FS, 1 x MD4-7, 1 x XC21 and 2 x MC41FS, running 6.08.30.8216.

On MC43FS we have 2 x CAN Open encoders on CAN Bus E that are sending PDO and heartbeat information as soon as we apply power. These are configured to run at 125kbps. We established that when updating the project it would update all the modules except MC43FS which hangs and crashes out. It seems to begin updating the MC43FS module (does it last in line after all the others), but stops halfway through and crashes out. System has to have power cycled and screen says no application and have to reload the software. Occasionally it will load in, around 10% success rate. When it drops out i get flash 'no application available' as in instruction manual.

Unplugging one encoder and IQAN will allow me to update the system including the MC43FS with occasional dropout.

Changing the bus speed of the encoders has improved it, seems to allow me to update the system with both encoders connected smoothly, occasionally hangs but significantly better.

Is there an interaction between the MC43FS firmware and speed of CAN devices? We had this issue a few years back on a MC3 and that was conflicting speeds on firmware check before boot. Seems it may also be present on these newer modules?

Weirdly also it says 6.08.24 for the MC43FS, however we are using 6.08.30. I noticed the IQANDesign 6.08.30 only has this for the MD4 and not the MC43FS, which mislead me somewhat when trying to establish the fault.

Are there any example programs for the LC5 joystick?

Currently utilizing the 2007699 (lc5-c01-mpb2w2t1) joystick

using iqan design 6.02. I get the LC5 and link it to an MC43 on system layout but how do i get the axis outputs and button digital io? I can find no EDS file or instructions as to PDOs for the outputs?

Thanks in advance

Since version 7 I get a "Impicit value type conversion" warning when I use a Derivative function in the activation part of a value log item.

Does anyone have a idea how to solve this?

Why is the IDC delay on / off time [ms] limited at 3276750 in version 7

(and unlimited in version 6)

We are swapping out from the XA2 to the XC43 and we originally thought we were going to be using the PWM HS output so we attached a ark suppressing diode on the 4-way 3-pos cart valve (HSP 10-47CB-0-v-24ER). We however ended up using the PWM HS-LS output which has a internal free wheeling diode. Is the newly installed ark suppression diode going to case problems down the road. and is it best practice to just use the internal diode on the PWM HS+LS output?
