Replacing an MD4-5, MD4-7, or MD4-10 with a different size MD4?
Is there a simple way to replace an MD4 with one of a different size without having to manually move all of the logic, images, and display screens? Is there a best practice for doing this?

Graph measurment converts integer to float?
Measured data over ethernet apperas to be manipulated at the end of a measurment.
During the actual measurment over ethernet the integers apper to be integers as they should.
When measurment is stopped, the values of integer math channels and Generic parameter in channels change from integers to decimal values.
The values in the attached image that are converted to decimal values are either Generic parameter in or integer math channels. Event counters and internal digital channels stay as integers.

MC41 and XC43 Application NO Contact problem
Hello everyone;
We have an application that contains MC41 as master module and XC43 as expansion module.
Master has IDTag 2 and expansion has IDTag 0. Both sides termination resistors connected. When the system is powered off, we measure 60 ohms between CAN-H and CAN-L terminals.
We uploaded software to MC41 but we have the problem that you can see below here. NO Contact problem in XC43.
Maybe we are missing some points. We need your advice on how to connect MC41 as a master and XC43 as a expansion module. Thanks in advance.



IQANdesign 5.08, update for MD4
IQANdesign 5.08 released
New versions of IQANdesign 5 and IQANsimulate 5 are released, with retro-fixes from 6.x.
Recommended for MD4
For IQAN-MD4, this version solves a problem where the MD4: Flash memory error correction could fail. Although the probability of failure is low, updating is recommended to update to avoid potential problems. The same solution that is previously released in IQANdesign 6.04.
See release notes for IQANdesign 5.08 and for IQANsimulate 5.08
No new versions of IQANrun or IQANscript were needed for this release.

IQAN Design with MC4X wont allow Frequency/Direction Sensor types (DPCNT)
It appears in the manuals that the MC41 can accept a Frequency/Direction sensor type and is allowed in the System Layout area of IQAN Design, but you get an "Error: Property not Available" in the application portion. I have tried using an event counter with the high speed DINs (C1 Pins 11 and 12). I have cycle time of the MC41 set to 1ms. The results are inconsistent at best with error in pulse count up to 25% at approximately 200Hz. I tried using PCNT input with the high speed input for direction. It improved, but is still not accurate as the pulse count seems to double and miss counts on direction change. Is this a software bug? Is there another work-around?

Adding External Function parameters to adjust groups
If you add an external function and try to drag an adjust item from it to an adjust group, it will not allow it. If you open the list of adjust items and find the parameter and drag it that way, it will allow it. This seems to have broke on the latest update.

Organisation of large programs
In order for me to keep a clear overview of all the functional groups and systems in my system layout, I could use a feature that allows me to filter or at least put all the names in alphabetical order like words starting with an A up to Z and numbers starting with a 0 up to whatever number possible.
This is just an idea I would like to see coming in future updates.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Roy

Generic CAN Parameter Out Max Value?
I need to send a PDO1 off SDO to a Variable frequency drive. When I enter the necessary data portion of the frame, IQAN Design (5.04.8.5179) gives me an error saying I'm out of the maximum range. I'm confused by this. Currently,
I won't be able to correctly send the SDO. Any thoughts?

CAN Routing Question
Hello, I'm trying to use the CAN Routing in a J1939 application with an MC43. I made a J1939 rule with default action 'Allow'. Now I want to block only the message 1CECFF00. It seems not to work as I expected. I added an exception rule with PGN number 60671. With my CANalyzer, I see the message appear where I don't expect it after this...
Am I doing something wrong?
