Free Text In Design For IQAN Run Etc

Carl 6 years ago in IQANdesign 0

It would be a great idea if there was a page etc., where free text could be added.

The text could be simple words or hyperlink to webpage, phone number for a mobile to call or email address.

From this, we could add information for the user using IQAN Run for operating the software. Contacts in case of issues, web links to external sites for wiring diagrams or even YouTube videos.

This would then also be used for the IQAN Tablet App etc.

shl and shr - function do not work on MAC

Andy Pauly 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated 5 years ago 8

Hello

I need to send out a 8 digit numbers on the JPOUT-J1939 CANBUS in an 4-byte data frame.

IQAN only handle 7 digits so I split up the number in two MAC blocks to be send in 2xJPOUT 2 bytes

But the shift-bits to the left and shift byte to the right  [shl] and [shr] only works on JPOUT; JPIN; GPOUT and GPIN - channels. shl+shr-problem.idsx

Instead of a MAC channel I had to use a JPOUT channels to get the shl to work. I even have to put the data on the J1939 bus only to get the shl to work? Why is shl and shr not avaiable with a math channel???,

Regards

Andy

Answer

I does work in the MAC channel.

You do have a round down or up function, it is "Floor(xxx)" or "Ceil(xxx)"

I did some changes and used the bitwise and function to simplify your function.

shl+shr-problem (2).idsx

1st 2bytes

Result:= (round(xxxxxx*100) band 65535 )+ yy

2nd 2bytes

Result:= Round(xxxxxx*100) shr 16

MDL + XA2 TO MD4 + XC43

mgoutier 6 years ago updated by Kevin 6 years ago 2

With the lack of availability of MDL's, and the soon lack of support for XA2's, I have a customer with a bad MDL, so instead of purchasing and XA2 to cover the additional IO needed, I said its only a little more to purchase 2 XC43's, which the cost difference was worth it to not install another soon to be discontinued product. 

Here is where it got fun, the original program was designed in 2.63, XC43's can only be used in 6, you cant install an MDL in a 5 or 6 program. I had to open the 2.63 program in 4, add the MD4 and an XA2 to it and reassign all the IO to them, then save the project because when you go to delete the MDL it will crash every time. Then reopen the program in 6, add the XC43's re-allocate all the IO again... Seriously I can't make this up.... Can we please get 6 to allow us to open programs with an MDL in it much like the XA2's, please!

About CAN interfaces

Salih 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 2

Hi,

I had two questions about connect to IQAN master modules via CAN bus for diagnostic and program update:

1) Can we use PCAN-miniPCI or PCAN-miniPCIe cards of PEAK-system?

2) Can we use Innodisk EMUC-B202? This product does not appear in the following models.

https://forum.iqan.se/knowledge-bases/2/articles/231-usb-to-can-interfaces

What should we do if we want to use such a product? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

QCode Type Mismatch with External Function

Joe 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago 3

Can anyone explain why this is happening? It appears to be random as I can sometimes get the error to go away by changing something unrelated in the external function and saving it.

Memorizing Channel Reset Value Disabled

Chris Litwin 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 5 years ago 3

In IQANDesign 6.0 using a memorizing channel with an input channel of State value type disables the reset value. This makes sense. However, if you change the input to a different type the reset value does not get enabled again. The only way to bring it back is to close the project and reopen.

MD3 Change Page Image Overlay

Paulo Cupertino de Lima 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 2

My application has MD3 Flash memory almost full, but the MC31 has free space, 
I have a lot of images on MD3 and I'm having problems with page changes, the images overlap, 
I don't know if the problem could be because of this too many images, and if this is the problem, is it possible to transfer some of these images to the MC31?

online editing

Caola, Robert 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by mgoutier 6 years ago 2

Are there any plans for the future to have the ability to edit programs while online with the master module? This way you do have to go offline make the change, connect back to the PLC, and download the program again.
