Hi Guys

Im relatively new and a bit surprised that many of the IQAN modules contain Real Time Clocks that are potentially set with current date and time but nothing in Qcode or design is set up to allow use of that time? (I think)

Let me give you a scenario, Im building a system for managing a  mobile grinding plant where the onboard engine is circa 1200hp. Engines that big need Prelude to be provided before start for the first time of the day, or after its been sitting for more than about 3 hours without the engine running.  This avoids teh damage to the bearing surfaces on components that weigh large amounts and over time standing still will exclude lubrication from the bearing surfaces due weight of components.  The thing is that the engine not running occurs at the same time that the iqan modules may well have been shutdown. So only a RTC will understand the amount of time that has passed since the engine last ran. I can probably add a canbus module that has an accessable RTC but why do I need to do this???

I can cheat and just run prelube every time for say 60 seconds before start, but I don't see why I should have to do that when its not necessary. I could also use other things like residual oil temp or residual coolant temp to determine approx when it was last run or to at least save prelube cycles for shutdowns that are less than 15 mins in length

SO is the RTC functionality I'm looking for truly not present or is there some other way of dealing with this that Ive completely missed?

Sometimes, if the Component Navigator is open on the secondary screen, when opening the Calculation Order this new dialog window will be without any buttons. Resizing the window does not help.

Even if I close calculation order window and reopen it ten times it still does not have any buttons.

However, if I close and reopen the Component Navigator, then the next time Calculation Order will have buttons again.

I quite often use the sliders on my screens for a pump volume control. I connect slide to a functional paramater and use that to control the engine desired operating speed. Depending on the size of the plunger(these are changed regularly to adjust to pressure and volume requirements) of the pump the max volume changes a lot. So if we have a small set of plungers the slider has a huge range that is no longer usable due to the the max value set in the adjust group. I would like to be able to use a math channel to adjust the max value based on plunger size and max RPM. Maybe there is a better way of doing this though..

I have an issue where there are four identical sensors on CAN-D of a MC43.  It has worked without any problems for about a year.  Currently, we are constantly seeing a "Timeout" for all of the sensors on this bus.  There are no other devices on the bus except the four sensors and the MC43.  If we use IQANanalyze, we can see the information from the sensors on the bus, but again, the MC43 shows a timeout for all the sensor JFIN channels.  If we physically unplug the harness from the MC43 and connect it to a MC43 in test box, the MC43 will recognize the sensor CAN frames.  We tried swapping out the original MC43 with the test box MC43 and re-programmed to the machine project file and the test box MC43 does not recognize the sensor CAN frames.  We have an identical setup on CAN-C using the same type of sensors and do not have an issue with reading those CAN frames.  We are using IQANdesign 5.07 and it is in a system with 2-MD4's, 2-MC43's and 1-MC43-FS.  What may be causing this issue?

Hi,

The application has two languages; English (UK) and English (US).

A math channel's unit is set up with multiple language properties; m (meter) for English (UK) and inch for English (US).

A value control is used to display the value and unit of the math channel.

The problem is that the displayed unit does not immediately change from m to inch when I change the language from English (UK) to English (US); I need to restart the simulation for the change to take effect.

Is this intentional?

English (UK):

English (US) without restart:

English (US) after restart:

The display page value control:

The math channel:

Tested with IQANdesign and IQANsimulate 6.08.

I have noticed that a conditional message can display another channel value. This is handy especially when using the message to notify the user that a parameter is out of spec. I am using an interactive channel for the same purpose but it does not appear to be able to display a value from another channel in the same way. Is there a way to do this?

I have seen a few radio receiver models that have IQAN as an option for control (instead of J1939 or CANopen). Has anyone done this? How is this implemented? Explain to me whats going on.

I am programming currently an application where a touch screen is not accepted at all. I use a external J1939 Button and Encoder control. Page changes and changing values in the screen etc. are working now perfectly, this part of HMI I can Programm. But some HMI Dialoges are created automatically be the firmware of the IQAN system e.g.: short circuit on pin...... 

How can I like a my external signal to your firmware dialog???

Thanks
