I have a system with 1x MC42 and 1x XA2 module. I am getting what i believe are random shut downs and has to be manually power cycled. The unit doesn't throw any error light codes that I have seen and there are not issues on the logs when i pull them. I went ahead and measured my cycle utilization and memory utilization. The cycle utilization is running consistently at 45% and the memory at 27%. I have checked for small things such as lose wiring etc.  

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? 

PS this is the second module to do this. We have replaced the module after thinking it was possibly something with the hardware. 

I have had the latest Design and Run 5.05.8.55.04 software crash multiple times over the last few days both while working offline as well as remotely connected to a machine. This is causing a lot of issues for me. Has anyone else experiences this?

Version 5.05 of IQANdesign, IQANrun, IQANsimulate and IQANscript is now available:

The above features will soon come in the 6.01 release also.

Version 5.05 also include some of the features already introduced in 6.00:

Add Blinking Lamp status to J1939 DM1 decoding

When enabled, the lamp status MDGN:s will blink according to DM1.

IQAN-SV properties for flip/mirror/bitrate/HDR moved to video control.

This means that individual video controls can have different settings.

Support external esc key in PDF reader

Implement full circle mode on gauge

Hi.

I have noticed that sometimes my MC43 gets stuck in a "Bus-off" state (Error code 3.4) a it does not recover, until I shut of the entire system. In my case the controller is used for steering and I need it to be able to reboot and recover locally on its own, in order for me to uphold my steering functionality without shutting down my system.

We have put in a functional request for this, and I'm just reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem?

Why does IQAN 6 not support MD3?

How to make function about CRC 16 in parker? Current only CRC-8 and J1939 checksum function block for selection.

Hello IQAN Team,

We will be deploying many units to different locations, all of the same product. We would like to explore the possibility for batch updating of the IQAN software via the IQANConnect interface. Today, for updates, we will have to manually connect to each system, one by one, while it is online and not in function, to update it. This is ok for 1 or 2 units, but not optimal for 100s of units that must all be updated.

What we'd like, is the possibility for the system to "auto-update" when we have a new IQAN software version available and X and Y conditions are met (system is not operational, HW matches the SW we are pushing, etc).

I understand that IQANConnect was not designed in this way, but we are exploring how this can be done, either with Connect or another app, and what are your thoughts on this. Today, all our MD4 controllers will have access to the internet via their ethernet port.

Thanks for the excellent support.

Marc Daigneault.

I'm trying to find a way to show the J1939 DM1 lamp status. The MDGN channel will show the lamps on or off, but there are varying levels of flashing indicated by 65226 that I can't seem to access.

Are there any plans to include the flashing levels in the MDGN channel?

Thanks!

Hello! It would be very convenient to be able to insert images into Comments (or as separate object). Graphs or schemes, for example.

I think it would be good to have an external button reference for the "X" close function in the menu.  The Escape button will back out of the menu, but there is no way that I have found to close the menu using external buttons.
