I have a problem with a system that uses APP in and out between three modules, one MD4, two MC3. I have found that one MC3 does not appear to be receiving APPIN's. When I monitor the modules in IQAN Run, all modules appear to be talking successfully. When I look at IQAN Design the APPIN's on the module that's faulting says Error, Timeout and its red not green. On the module that's sending the APPOUT, the function block APPOUT is green and OK. Its almost as if the modules are not starting at the same time and the timeout for the first APP in to be received is being reached?

Is there any way of finding out more information about this error?

The machine was working OK for some time and it just happened randomly and now im unable to recover the machine. We also have other machines running this software and same software version and it appears OK.

I have extended the 50ms cycle time to 100ms,on all three modules with no success. Is there any reason why this could have happened? Running Design 3.19.9.

Hi,

I need some help.

I have trouble using CIN sensors.

I have no problem with any others sensor types, but with almost all current sensors (4-20mA), I get an error with the signal (24mA) after some use.

But not all the time.

For exemple, here I have some undesired spikes while measuring.

Spikes are very short so I can't read +24mA in IQAN but I think if there was longer, I would have 24mA, so more than my scaled value at 20mA

For this exemple, the value come back to a good value quickly, but sometime it stays in error ~= 24mA

Have you ever had similar problem ?

Do you have some advises ?

I can't use Vref+5V because my sensors can be supplyed between 8-32Vdc.

The sensors used are made with 3 wires : +24V / 0V / Signal

So the wire 0V is connected to the 0V of the battery, but on every machine, the 0V of the battery is conencted to the chassis of the machine.

Iin the manual it is recommanded to do not connect the 0V to the chassis. It's not possible on mobile machine.

So we tried to connect the 0V to the VREF- but it's doesn't work obviously.

Is there a way to have a VREF for sensors that supply about 10Vdc ?

Hope someone has some experiences that can help us to understand this problem with current sensors !

We have an MD4-7 that's essentially just used for a displaying some camera feeds through ethernet.

We have multiple machines with this camera system and only one of them is experiencing the problem.

The MD4-7 will randomly crash and show a blue screen with an error code. 

I believe the code is "os_error (0x1000002) drv_CanInt"

The MD4 is running IQAN 7.05.

What does this error code mean?

I am hoping that this is not actually an issue and there is some setting I mis-clicked somewhere. However, I am having an issue with math channels not displaying correctly on a singular program.

It recently came to my attention that when I transitioned a program from IQAN 6.08 to IQAN 7.04 there has been a pair of Integer math channels that have been displaying 0 at all times. The odd part is that when I measure the program live with IQANDesign or IQANRun, both channels have numbers assigned which are correctly being passed elsewhere in the program, but the screen itself displays both as zero.

I have since attempted to assign flat numbers to the Integer math channels, or changing them into Normal Math Channels, adding math channels to different function groups, recreating the code in a different function group, and so on, however nothing I do changes the value displayed on screen to anything other than 0. I transitioned the 6 file to 7 over again, and it acts in the same odd manner, but when I compared the 6 program to the 7 the only detected changes were the expected date, Checksum, and Security changes that come with updating a program to 7.

The especially frustrating part is that when I start a blank program from scratch, all the math channels work and display as expected, and the same code displays correctly in a dozen other programs made in IQANDesign 7.04.

HI,

We have a P70CF with Proportional Coils. We only need to operate them electrically as on/off. Can this be done with direct 12V from a switch?

Thanks,

What causes blink code no application available? We shipped a programmed module to a customer. They get a blink code for no application available.  MC41

Are you working to correspond to the new European Cyber Resilience Act ?

I have an IQAN MD3, XS2 & XA2 set up in an excavator as part of a hydraulic attachment. The system is no longer supported by the OEM as they are no longer in business. I’m in need of some resistors and one of them is proving to be difficult to find.

The resistor is marked 1T and according to the Parker literature there are four versions of this resistor and it seems the connection ends are the difference between them. So my thought is I can use any Parker 1T resistor and just solder it in.

Am I correct in my thinking? Thanks in advance.
