Generic CAN Bus Frames Not Linking

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

Hello! I am trying to get two generic CAN bus frames to link together in my project. One is inside of an external function group and is broadcasting a 2-byte message as a GFOUT channel. I have a CAN bus frame in channel (GFIN) inside the main project that is receiving that message and parsing it for a state machine. They share the same identifier, properties, bit offset, everything. However, whenever I simulate, the data is not shared between them. They are linked on the same Generic CAN bus module in the system diagram. Am I missing something?

Possible Bug - Physical Hardware Channels Not Disabled in External Function

Braidan Duffy 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated 4 years ago 3

Hello, I am using IQAN 6.05. I have several external functions that have Digital Output and Input channels within them that are not required for operation. Each instance of the external function is enabled/disabled during initialization, as needed. When used as internal function groups, the unassigned DOUT and DIN channels do not throw errors, as expected and required. However, when the same function groups are made external, and imported into the project, the errors appear - despite the instance of the external function group being disabled.


This hampers the ability for my code to function properly. Is there anyway this can be addressed or a fix/hack suggested?


Thank you.

COUT/VIN open load/low error check

Evert-Jan 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago 2

Hi all, Does someone know if it's possible with a status operand, to have a check if all VIN's and COUT's status are ok with one command for all VINs status and one command for all COUT?

I know the status of the MC43 itself is OK even when there is an COUT open load.

MD3 pages to MD4

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

I am finally upgrading from the MD3 to the MC4 and other new modules. The Display pages disappear when opening an older version with an MD3 in it as I guess Design 6 does not support MD3 pages? Is there a way to get the MD3 pages into the MD4 with all of the connections or do I have to rebuild the display page in the MD4? Exporting an MD3 display page is not visible to the MD4 when you try to import it.

Multi-Language Qustion

Anthony Le 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Thomas Moberg (System support) 4 years ago 1

When selecting the text fields that I want to translate, is it necessary to select reoccurring words? An example image is attached. The text "Open circuit or blow normal" shows up in several other places. If I translate one instance, does it apply to all instances of that text? Or is it specific to that component and I still need to translate every instance? Seems very redundant.

Transmit rate in GFOUT does not accept integer parameter

Jean-Marc Zanni 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 6

The description for the GFOUT Transmit rate says it will accept constant and constant channels.  Type is integer unit ms.

I do believe constant Channel do not specifically exist.  Description for the integer parameter does refer to them as constant channel.


Yet the Transmit rate box does not seem to accept it.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks


Answer

To make that work you must use an integer parameter that is in an initialization group. Initialization group parameters are only updated after a power cycle if you are making it adjustable.

Input calibration Properties

Greg R 5 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.
