Test rig with automated control of L90 valve
Hey together,
for a customer project I am using two plunger cylinders to simulate ground effects on gage wheels.
Therefore the motion of the cylinders should be one extend, the other retract and the other way around with a certain frequecy.
My idea was to realize that with an L90 valve section where the spool goes from one max. stroke to the other.
Is there a possibility to automate this function so for example after activation on the display the COUT goes into max. positive direction and afterwards into max. negative direction and back again? The speed I could adjust via slopes.
I guess this task can be solved with some math channels but do we maybe have a different solution with other channels?
Thanks for your support and regards

Automatic Level System
Hello everybody,
I am looking to find some solution for auto leveling option and I have found this.
Do you have any idea how can I get to the original program? Or can you provide me with some example?

IQANdevelop Conversion
Are there any tools available to Parker or system integrators which can be used to convert old IQANdevelop (for MDM, TOC etc controllers) applications to modern IQANdesign applications?
Or is converting it manually the only way?

Grouping bytes to fix bit overlap?
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.

COUT peak
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?

MD4 won't display unicode character for omega
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:

Sending SDOs Generic CAN
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.

4 Byte Decimal
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,

MC43 PWM OUT to drive a servo
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.

CANopen integration of signal converter
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!
