Hi!

We have program made for MC2. Now we need to migrate to MC4x.

Since we lost our old programmer we need to learn to IQAN design  ourselves. So I believe this question might be silly for you guys, but it is what it is.

Is there a way to replace MC2 with MC4x in the program without doing absolutely everything from zero?

Connections are not the problem. The logic algorithms is something would be pain in the ass to do again from zero.

Thank you in advance, for any info.

 Good luck in your projects.

P.S. Of course I will eventually go for IQAN Designs training. Just have to get more free time for that.

Is there a way to export the DM1 out container and then import as a DM1IN?

I have imported a couple custom CAN databases to a project and now it will not let me remove them. I assume it has something to do with the original import file being moved or renamed. How can I remove them from the project with the remove button grayed out?

Is there a way to toggle between multiple cameras? Since there is only one camera input, does some sort of relay or switch need to be implemented?

Is there any simple solution to control a virtual digital button from a second display? Like an external button control? I would like to set up two identical pages on two ID-4 displays. The non critical functions shall be enabled and disabled from either display..

thanks so much, regardsChristian.

Hej, Hur gör jag enklast? Icke återkopplad SOUT kan jag koppla mot två COUT och det står något om att insignalen ska vara +/-100% och motsvara MR inställning plus att man ska ha en riktningsbestämning, som jag kan tänka mig är en digital utgång för att styra ett relä? DC motorns poler måste ju byta plats när man byter riktning? MC2. E-gas. Tips på lösning :) /Martin

Hie guys...im having problems running my simulation..it gets stuck on the splash page and doesnt show anything on the MD4 screen and i get a no handshake from master module error...sometimes the simulation runs but mostly it doesnt and i have to restart the computer..Have scanned for viruses on my PC nothing has changed..Kindly assist

I was called to look at a program I had written in 5.0. They said that the video stream had a glitch and that text behind the video stream was flashing through the video stream image. After a few hours of observing the issue without success I reverted the program back to 5.0 and the program worked as designed.

The program was designed for various machine set-ups, (i.e. if there is one or two cameras, if it is a forklift or a container handler or both etc... various screen options are turned on or remain unseen in the background).

In this bug a video Rear-view Mirror video stream should have been turned off due to the machine set-up. The area used by the Rear-view Mirror stream would be replaced by information regarding the condition of the handler. If the screen went to a video page, (once), and returned back to the screen that had the turned-off Rear-view Camera image, the video image would be displayed and information that should be displayed was covered up. A flashing message would flash through the unwanted video stream with every pulse. Only cycling power would reset the logic. 

Reverting back to the native firm-ware fixed the issue.

For whatever reason updating the Rev-level of IQAN-Design caused the issue with how and when the video stream is displayed. Possibly if I removed the troublesome logic when updating the firmware and re-wrote it in 6.05 this may have worked fine but I did not try this.

Have you noticed similar issues with logic is translated/mapped during firmware updates? 

Very new to IQAN so my first project is try to set LED lights on a Grayhill 6-button keypad using J1939 protocol. I looked at the spec sheet and set up the FIN. There are values to each LED indicator (blinking, solid), but I am a bit stuck now and I am getting a warning that a parameter is overlapping.

This may not at all be the intended purpose of the IQAN ecosystem, but have you ever considered implementing the possibility to execute code outside of and in parallel with the control system loop?

This would greatly expand the usage potential of the system, as it could allow for such things as big integer computations, string manipulation, cryptography, more advanced protocols for data exchange built on top of CAN, etc.

The interface between the control system application and the out-of-loop thread could be similar to the JFIN/JFOUT structure, i.e. the control system loop could "transmit" and "receive" data to/from the thread. Code could be written in a superset of QCode, or maybe in C.
