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.

J1939 Address Claimed message receiving?

Aleksey M. 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 5 years ago 6

Hello!

I try to get a AddressClaimed response from the J1939 device, but so far unsuccessfully. I form a request for PGN 60928. I see the corresponding request on the bus, as well as the AddressClaimed response of the device. However, in the application, the JFIN channel remains in a 'False' state, and I do not receive any data. Am I missing something?

Will Dickson 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated 6 years ago 0

Im currently trying to communicate with an engine that utilise's keyword 2000 protocol, and would like to read engine parameters such as RPM, and Temperatures through the CAN bus of a MC43FS.


Has anyone come across this as ive seen online it can be done, keyword 2000 seems to be the protocol used across a large amount of lawnmower engines such as Kawasaki, Briggs and Stratton and Yamaha.

Would love to find out if this is possible

PIO-337

Ash 6 years ago in IQANdesign updated 6 years ago 9

Hi.

Were hoping if there are any iqan to parker PIO-337 project or examples in existence? Currently learning all i can about CAN-Open and luckily found examples that have helped us get parker UTS 3 axis sensors running. But i have not been able to get the PIO-337 working as of yet. 
I have configured it like this.
Parker PIO-337 , 250kbps, Node ID=2 (CAN-Open module) > Parker PIO-602(PSU) > Parker PIO-550 (2x A I/O) > PIO-600 (End).
Currently trying to get it to work with an MD3 by modifying the old Moduflex code i got years back. But really want to get it working with a hand full of MC41's. 
This is still partially an attempt to control parker P31 proportional valves and hydraulic parker 0-10v LDVT valves as well as D1FW variants. 

We understand this is industrial vs mobile but see no reason why it should not work?
