Is it possible to run a Python script with IQAN tools? Such as IQANrun or IQANscript?

Would be nice to see an objects description already when hovering over it in an object list, similar to what happens when hovering over a channel.

Hey

I have a couple of channels in a project that tell me there is an implicit value conversion occurring. What I'm confused about is exactly what it means and why its a warning?

In the Qcode below:-

HydOilLowNCorNO is a digital parameter that determines whether the input condition is NC or NO which translates to if a logic 1 is good or bad.

MaintBypassSensorHydOilLow is a digital parameter that determines whether we should action the sensor inputs or simply ignore them. iI's used here in this channel and in an almost duplicate of the channel that deals with digital input HydOilLevelVeryLow which is the last switched step on the tank level sensor and which triggers an immediate idle down, and timed shutdown of engine 

The Qcode is:-

TempResult:=0
If HydOilLowNCorNO Then TempResult:=Not(HydOilLevelLow) else TempResult:=HydOilLevelLow
If MaintBypassSensorHydOilLow then TempResult:=0
Result:=TempResult

The warning I get is that the bolded underline is an implicit value type conversion. What I struggle to understand is what is being converted? everything except the local variable TempResult is digital including the channel type IDC. There as far as I know is no way to declare a variable as specifically type digital and if I change line 1 to TempResult:=False then I get another implicit value type conversion warning for that line.

I know a warning isn't the end of the world but what do I need to do to get rid of the warning or produce better code? Is there a way to declare the local variable TempResult as type digital that Im simply not aware of?

Warnings in IQAN Design  to me infer something is suboptimal but here I cant see what I should do to change that.

Is there a way to link a screen button to logic located in the MC? Example, I am trying to integrate a "manual mode" in my program. I want to be able to press a button on the screen to enable/disable manual mode. Once manual mode is enabled, you can manually change the current value being sent to a motor.

If I have the component navigator open and try to send application via bluetooth a problem happens when IQAN wants to show "Project check"

Three dialog boxes are all open att the same time, but they are all behind the main window unable to be interacted with:

*Component Navigator

*Project warnings

*Open session

What I see on the screen is this window:

No matter how much I click or use alt tab, X in the corner etc I cannot close it.

If however I point to the icon in the task bar I am able to see the three dialog boxes stuck behind like this:

It is not possible to click these dialogs, as soon as I move the mouse pointer they are hidden behind the main window again.

Is there a way to use a non IQAN display to adjust a state parameter, function parameter, integer parameter and digital parameter?  I am looking to use a Parker PHD display in a system and use IQAN masters to handle the logic.  I would like to be able to use touch buttons on the PHD display to change each of the parameter types listed above.

Can this be done?  The communication between the IQAN master and PHD will be over J1939.

I want to update my iQAN Design 5.03 to latest one. I have one time purchase license and I am not ready for yearly subscription. Which version I can update to from 5.03?

Hi

I have a remote machine that has a teltonika modem on it that I can access remotely using OpenVPN. I know the configuration of the VPN is good because I can access the Teltonika admin pages (192.168.10.1) without issue from my laptop connected to my phone hotspot on 192.168.111.100

In the Teltonika  admin pages I can see that the modem has allocated a DHCP address to the MD4-10 module and I can ping it and successfully get responses from the display.

In Design I can see the MD4-10 module in the discovered modules but its discovered with an IP address of 172.16.0.1 which is the VPN endpoint assigned to the openVPN tunnel at the modem end. Ive added a static module with the right IP address of 192.168.10.14, but unlike the discovered module the indicator light never turns green.

Any attempt to communicate with the module fails with a "failed to open a new communication session" error.

Has anyone dealt with this issue before and sorted a way through it, I'm trying to work out if this behaviour is due to a missconfiguration of my vpn, or if its by design because I know Parker have a solution exactly in this space. If my understanding is correct though its a 3G based solution where Australian Telco's have all announced end of life for 3G in comming nearterm months so not a particularly long life solution.....

help if you can

I found an issue with Copy Paste of a display page from one design project to another.

To reproduce:-

1) Create a new display page, in my case it was an MD4-10

2) Add a Linear Bar somewhere to the page.

3) Modify the Linear bar so that the colour of the Bar is Red (from the list not from Custom)

4) Add another Bar and this time make it green (from the list not from Custom)

4) Right Click on the Project Manager User Interface, your New display page and select copy

In a 2nd concurrent instance of design open a new project with an MD4-10 module as master module
1) Over the Project Manager User display instance of your Display right click select Paste. The Red Colour of the Linear Bar is lost and the default colour is present. The green Bar comes across just fine.

If you Right Click Paste into the same project as you originally worked in, instead of a new one, a new display page is created but here the colour is retained not lost.

For me when I had multiple linear Bars with different colours overlapping so that visibility channels determined which of the 3 was actually displayed, the Green bar and the Yellow bar came across Ok with the paste, but the Red bar always looses its colour and defaults the to the initial orange/brown that design defaults to... weird

Hey Everyone

I have a sensor I need to try and source and its not proving easy to find.... I'm working on a 50T Horizontal tree mulching machine. With any machine of this size which has a large rapidly spinning mill vibration can be an issue. If the mill is balanced then the vibration is minor and if it's been damaged or worn out of balance then the vibration can be extreme and destructive.

We have a working solution for balancing these types of Mills that can be called on when needed, but I'm looking to permanently establish a sensor on each of the mill bearings that provides over canbus a single axis vibration reading from which at startup prior to introducing tree material we can determine if the mill is go/nogo. For a balance you need a vibration quantum and an angular measure of unbalance. To determine what I need I really only need the vibration quantum and wouldn't expect to put in an optical sensor from which to measure any angular unbalance from. 'm hoping that there are suitable sensors available that can tell me over J1939 or CanOpen that the vibration is x IPS^2 (or any of the other multitude of measurements that can apply to vibration....my background is aviation hence IPS) 

Anyone seen anything like this?

There are heaps of accelerometers that can provide me with sinusoidal waveforms but that means I have to put in hardware to size the waveform appropriate for the controllers and then make my IQAN controllers interpret the waveform when they are all busy anyway, something I can hopefully offload to a sensor
