I need to know which ports I need to open on my firewall to allow an IQAN module to connect. 

Hi all,

I'm looking to find the normal operation life of iQan products.

For example, the MC3x and more specifically, the MD4 backlight.

Someone have an idea where I can find this information?

Thanks,

David

I have been a long time user of your product since Version 2.0.  One of the thing I like is your constant search for improvement in your package.  This also means that we have about once a month to update our software.  Since I have 3 machines, That is 3 time 3 updates(Design/Simulate/Run).  It is a bit time consuming and labor intensive.      

Since we have now cloud based storage with local copy at least I do not have to suffer the Download time.

If I go to the forum, I can download a Complete package, but when I use the software update it only downloads the specific package.  But I do not seem to find a method to access the specific package download page.  Both Forum and Website direct us to the Complete package.

It would be nice to:

1) have access to a page to download the specific package.  For Example, this morning I had just upgraded my field laptop to Iqan Design 4.07.  I have to open the other two packages to download run and simulate.  Downloading the complete package is counter productive since I have to re-enter the license number(I think?) but most specifically I have already use my

2) Instead of only upgrading the specific package may be the upgrade function could automatically offer to download the other package depending on your license type.  alternatively this could be an offer to download the complete package if I do not have to re-enter the license again.

Once again this is only a suggestion and certainly not in the must have category.  I will continue to upgrade because I know I can trust your product and want to make sure I have access to the latest and greatest.

Thanks,

Any specs out on this yet?

Fixes a bug where multi-master systems protected by an access level could not be updated. Available now in App Store.

Platform 4 - MD4

Is it possible to provide more information regarding CAN error reporting ?

For example "Critical CAN Error"

Can you information regarding the type of error that has been found ? For example

-Collisions

-Insufficient termination

-Error frames

-High utilisation

Summary: If the MD4 shuts down a CAN port due to a critical error then I just want to know exactly why.

4.04 IQAN Analyse - NI CAN Analyser.

The tool now reports CAN errors. Is there any more information available regarding the error frame encountered?

I run a dedicated J1939 Bus to speak with the Vehicle CAN. I imagine most do it this way.

Now that I have to cover for the possibility of both 250kbs and 500kbs J1939 vehicle CAN buses, and do not want to have multiple versions of software floating around if I can help it (tried it, can be a bit of an unneeded mess), I am running out of CAN Buses on my MD3s.

The way it is now, I am planning on setting up 2 vehicle can buses, each with their own "engine", then pick which engine to enable in the settings (250kbs, 500kbs, or disabled). Unfortunately, that leaves me with a wasted Bus since I can not run both the 250 and the 500 to on the same physical CAN Bus pins. An empty Bus might even throw an error. I haven't tested it yet.

It would be nice to be able to select J1939 bus speed in the software settings or be able to disable the unused bus in the settings. Either would free up a bus on the MD3 so I wouldn't have to put absolutely everything else (Master, Expansion, Diagnostic, and J1939 components) all on the same physical bus.

Could someone advise what ports and protocols IQAN software are using when connecting via Ethernet to MD4?

I new here, and new to the software platform, so hello to everyone. Although I am new to the IQAN platform I am very familiar with PLC programming and basic logic.

I am tasked with converting a bunch of MDL programs to MD4's (as we aren't going to be able to get any MDL's soon) and as I dive into this it seems like there should be a much easier way to do it.

Can someone do a quick write up of the most efficient way to complete this task?
