Inconsistent pulse counter behaviour with XC42
I do not know if this is a bug in the simulator or different firmware behaviour as I don't have the actual hardware to test on yet
If I put a pulse counter on an MC42 and increase with 1 each cycle it will show as 1,2,3 etc in the simulator when Accumulate=Yes
If I point with the mouse pointer the popup shows similar values in both fields
The application seems to use the accumulated value as expected
If I put a pulse counter on an XC42 and increase with 1 each cycle it will show as 1,1,1 etc in the simulator when Accumulate=Yes
If I point with the mouse pointer the popup shows both the incremented and accumulated value
The application seems to use the incremented value
In both tests I have the setting "Full Value Range=Off".
If I turn it on XC42 behaviour changes.
Send array over can bus
Hello,
Is it possible to send the values (integers) of an array via the generic can module?
Thanks
Undefined Qcode variable without error
IQANdesign 6.00
I have a function group that I have copied from an MC42 to MD4.
Everything looks ok and project check shows no errors but simulator behaves weird so I start to investigate.
As soon as I click on the digital channel "reset 10k pulses mx" it turns red and I notice one variable in the Qcode is undefined:
Now if I do a project check I also get the error message "Undefined Reference"
Channels are arbitrarily moving on the function group pages. Currently using IQAN Design 5.04.14.5377
The channels are arbitrarily relocating to different positions on the function group configuration screens.
It happens when I leave and return back to that function group. The channels always move in a vertical direction (y-axis) and sometime have moved in the sideways (x-axis) direction. It varies from all the way to the top of the page, to the bottom of the page and anywhere in between.
I'm not sure if it's related to the IQAN Design revision updates, but it does seem to be getting progressively worse.
How can I stop this?
Reading SPN Numbers out of DM1 !Numbers!
Hello
I saw that there are a lot of forum Topics already in the past about the DM1. I cannot find one proper solution out of the topics already discussed in the past.
I need in 10x [MIC] all first ten active SPN Error numbers and FMI numbers.!!! NUMBERS!!! (FMI is the easy bit)
I have more than >600SPNs.
I do not like to waist my time by Programming
If SPN-110 <> -1 then
Result:= 110
elseif SPN-629<>-1 then
Result:=629
elseif SPN-109 <> -1 then
Result:= 109
..........
and this 600x times or waist my time with >600x State machines or busting the memory limits of Arrays!
Do I have to build my own DM1? Does anybody did this before?
Regards
Andy
Can't view display pages
Whenever I try to view display pages, the program freezes, then shows a blank grey screen. The display pages were previously populated with items, but I'm no longer able to view them.
12V Machine Module Dropout
We have a 12v system with CAN Open devices, and during startup the CAN devices drop out but the module does not, causing errors on screen. The CAN devices are used in safety functions, therefore according to the MC43FS manual, we cannot use the battery voltage as an enable function for enabling comparison channels. Does anyone have any suggestions to prevent the error during startup?
parameter losing value
We have two machined with MD4-7.
In one machine a state parameter was spontaneously set to default after a restart.
The other machine lost all parameter settings, all went to default.
After setting the parameters again all was ok and the setting did not reset anymore (so far i know)
These setting can only de changed via an pin protected menu, no channels are used.
Are there any outside influences that can do something with the internal memory that can cause these problems?
Also I don't exclude tempering either.
regards, Ed
Qcode Component search
Hello
I find very often that the right Component is not found in Qcode text search.
For example: locking for the 1st. Act .. channel
1 ->
1s ->
No component is found starting with a 1s...
Even the channel exists:
This happen quite often with a combination of 1st.. 2nd.., 3rd..., 4th..., CDD#3.. etc.
It is very hard to find the right channel without the text-limitation-search feature.
I hope that you can fix this issue otherwise I have to understand the rules behind the text-find-system so that I can use the right channels text to avoid this problem.
