Use bluetooth as a key or some kind of trigger for machine

Fredrik Forsberg 7 years ago 0

Hello,


It would be nice to be able to use the G11 bluetooth paired a e.g. smartphone as a key and/or for triggering functions.


It would be nice to use a paired phone as a key for our machines. 

Or maybe as an elevated security level with the use of both the key and a paired smartphone to be able to start the machine.


Kind Regards

Fredrik

Limiting Function

Carl 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 2

Hi Guys,


In CodeySys we had a function where we could limit say the voltage input from a sensor etc.

So if we put it too 5% to 95% then no matter how higher or lower the input value was, they would stop at the limited values.

So if input was 100% the actual value out of the function was 95%, if it was 2% then the value out was 5%. is there a function in IQAN the same?



Cheers!!!

Time format

Keith Boone 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 2

Is there a built in setting to change the time for displaying from military time to AM and PM format? 

I could not find anything on how to do this in the IQAN Design User Manual.  

 

For example:  Instead of showing 21:29:50, I want to display 09:29:50 PM.

Rotation Angle Convention

Joe 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 6 years ago 1

The ability to rotate images is very nice, but the clockwise convention is somewhat of an annoyance.  Standard mathematical and kinematic convention is counterclockwise, so all of my sensor inputs and kinematic models have to be manipulated in a separate step in order for the graphics to display correctly.  Would it be possible for the rotation direction to be selected as an option?

system information

Ed Schippers 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 2

Hi,

Is there a way to see in the application if a adjust group is unlocked?

I want to show some extra stuf on the screen when a particular adjust group is unlocked.

If it is not possible it would be a nice feature for in the system information channel.

regards, Ed


Answer

Hello Ed.


What you can do is to add a PIN code channel in the application.

On adjust groups you can select PIN code channels instead of typing in a PIN code.

The when you enter the correct code for the group the channel in the application will go from false to true.

How to reconize a changing Integer parameter channel

Carl 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 7 years ago 4

Hi All,


What can I use to activate a channel when a Integer parameter channel is changed?

For instance, the channel goes from 3 - 4 and I want a true that its different from its previous setting.

We tried the "High or lower" math but it doesn't seem to recognize that its self is bigger or smaller than its self.

Having problems with channel assignments in Iqandesign 5

Richard Staite 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 9

I am currently working on a project which was originally created using 4.07 but now using 5 to continue with. All was going well until I exported some of my function groups to use in another simpler test application. 

I am now finding that in my original application file, some of the channels are showing as Red and are labelled unassigned, however if you try to drag and drop them to their original assignment locations they wont assign, and if you look at their original locations, the assignment is actually there already - can you help please?

Open Load on XA2 DOUT

mgoutier 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Hossein 6 years ago 3

I have a digital output on an XA2 (MD4-7 controller) that showed orange in IQAN Design 4.07.7.4605 and indicated open load. This was good to me as I was troubleshooting some odd problems. I added some functionality to the project basically saying if I am commanding the output but it is not true shut my machine down. The problem is once I did this I disconnected the solenoid (unplugged din connector with built in led) to test my logic and it didn't show open load as I thought it would. with the din connector disconnected I cycled power to my MD4 multiple time and tried to recreate "open load" again and could not. I checked all wiring and the coil resistance and everything looks good. 


I also am not getting an intermittent no contact on that particular XA2 module which I was not getting before the program update. This particular program has 5 XA2's. Also the system ran for about 600 hours with out issues. 


Any ideas would be a great help.

IQAN 5 MC43 output (HS+LS)

Frank GUO 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 1

Hi,


It looks like there is no direct way to add digital out (HS+LS) on MC43. The only way I figure out was add a digital out (HS) and then change it to HS+LS. And sometimes, they are grey out.

Iqan cloud server to save work results

Tuomas 7 years ago 0

Cloud server where to save your Iqan work results (maybe part of Iqan sync app) would be super! Something like this:

WNexus Cloud Service

https://www.tamtrongroup.com/en/productcat/information-management/


Our online service offers tools for versatile weighing information management, reporting, and analysing.

• Secure and easy-to-use cloud service
• Weighing information is automatically transferred from the scale to the server using GPRS
• Transparent and simple reporting between parties
• Option to set individual user rights
• Combining weighing information from multiple sources as an option: for example in a port environment, information from our container stacker scales, straddle carrier scales, and truck scales can be combined
