Input calibration Properties

Greg R 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago 2

Would it be possible to make the input/Output calibration properties able to be pulled from existing channels? We currently have sensors whos inputs need to be recalibrated when changed out and we need to use memory channels or adjustable parameters to accomplish that. It would be nice to use the existing property values for this.

MD4-5 button freeze

Meric 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago 2

We are experiencing an issue with several of our MD4-5. The issue is with any button on the MD4 whether they are parker system buttons or programed virtual digital in. Intermittently, the buttons tend to freeze therefore acting like a toggle when they are not. Please see below some points that I've noted.

  1. The program is updated to its latest version of 6.05.
  2. The cycle time of the MD4 during operation is 30ms.
  3. The cycle utilization of the MD4 during operation is 20%.
  4. The memory utilization is good.
  5. The MD4 is located inside and operating at ambient temperature.

If I send a new simple program to any of these MD4, the issue will go away. I did notice, when I disable a certain amount of function groups within the program, the issue goes away. Therefore, I think its pointing to a program issue, but it seems strange to me because as mentioned above everything looks pretty good. Note: This is a multi-master system where the MD4-5 is the master. Any thoughts?

Log Error

mdonaldson 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated 4 years ago 2

We are getting Log Errors on one of our machines. We get the same IQAN message 11 times. 1 of the 4 master controllers in our system happens to have 11 logs in it. So I'm assuming that is the culprit. We tried to pull logs from it and it was empty.

Any more info on this message? 

We have this same code running on hundreds of units and this is the only one with this issue. Hardware related ?

Qcode statements

Wilfred Sijtsma | Hytrans 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Thomas Moberg (System support) 4 years ago 1

I'm a new user of IQANdesign. I mainly work with versions 5 and 6. Is it true that I cannot use the FOR, CASE and WHILE statements in Qcode?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Is there a way to insert comment tags in the interface?

VREF Error MSG

mdonaldson 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated 4 years ago 1

MD4(2),MC43,MC41 - Currently using IQAN 5.04. Is it possible to not have the VREF Error message popup? 


We don't use the VREF's and none of the diagnostic channels are assigned to any of the VREF Channels, yet we still get errors associated with it. It is becoming an issue as machines are being repaired but they are completely functional (minus this nuisance alarm)

Firmware update over Radio link or wifi between master modules

Martin Lafleur 4 years ago in IQANdesign 0

I have two master modules, one on a fixed station and the other one on a mobile vehicle.

They are connected with the DIAG and MASTER busses through a CAN to ethernet adapter.

The ethernet link is then sent over the air using an industrial grade ethernet radio.


When I replace the radio with a cable, I can update the firmware of both masters using IQANDesign (via ethernet or CAN).

And then I remove the cable to run the application. I can connect using ethernet to one of the master and do some measurements using Measure groups.

Unfortunately I cannot update the multi-master firmware over the radio link, even though the radio bandwidth is not an issue (100 Mbps). My guess is this is due to a latency in either the radio link (when connecting using ethernet) or in the CAN to ethernet adapter when connecting with CAN. Is the firmware update procedure could be less strict on latency to allow firmware update in this case ?  

Best regards,

Martin

Custom Adjust Group

Gregor 4 years ago in IQANdesign 0

I am trying to duplicate the current out adjust group item.

I need it to behave the same way as a current out-adjusted item does in an adjusted group.

I could get most of the way there if I could make any own simulated adjust current out display page appear over top of the adjust group menu.

Digital Parameter Channel True/False Text not working

Albert Bloomfield 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Sonthai 4 years ago 10

In the new 6.05, the True and False Text are not being used on the Digital Parameter Channels.  It is just displaying 0 & 1.  This is on actual hardware that it isn't working.  When I run on the simulator, it still works.  I will see if I can put together an example project.
