Stoted data communication through CAN bus for printing.

Supratim 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 8 years ago 5

We know the stored data can be downloaded through IQAN run and printout can be taken. But one application customer is asking for the printout of the stored data in the machine itself, without connecting any Laptop. Small thermal printer can be used. As MD4 do not have any serial port, so we want to use another CAN controller which can connect serial printer for printing. Now our concern is to send the Stored data through CAN bus to other CAN controller. Please explain how to do that.

Activating internal digital when display page changes.

Keith Boone 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 8 years ago 2

Is there a way to active an internal digital channel when a current display page changes? I have an application where a function needs to be turned off anytime that the operator leaves the respective operation screen. There are multiple operation screens with this function.

Answer

we've done this before using a system information channel, set to 'active display page' this will give a numerical value based on what page is up, and you can then run it into logic.

Display control channel - DCC in MD4?

Keith Boone 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 8 years ago 1

I have an application where the display backlight needs to be selected from a display page designed for the vehicle operator. The customer needs two selections only, which are DAY and NIGHT, for their operators.


The actual % levels for Day and Night will be set in the adjust groups which will be password protected with access only to their technicians.


In the IQAN Design manual, it references the “Display control channel – DCC” to control the display backlight.I can find this channel in the MD3, but it apparently does not exist in the MD4.


Is there a way to do this in the MD4-7?


Thanks

joystick with double functions

christophe 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 8 years ago 4

Hello,


i want to use the standard lc6 joystick for multiple functions.
Example:

If i want to adjust the cilinders on the left side of the blade, i press the rocker ( proportional ) down, then press forwards for the '1 left' function and then i move the joystick left or right to open or close the '1 left' function.


Witch function is the advise to use? the Q code could be an option i assume.


Thanks,

Kind Regards Christophe

With some languages, the system date and time fields won't display correctly.

Has anyone experienced this before?


Here's what it looks like in English:

disabling redundant J1939 joysticks?

Forrest 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 8 years ago 3

I use J1939 joysticks. In the past, each joystick required a dedicated program. This time around I am trying to cover all current and expected joystick options, then enable the correct one(s) in the settings.

It sort of works, but I still get errors on start-up saying the disabled ones are not connected.

I am using Design 4.04, and the C CAN network on an MD3 module for the joystick(s) and a J1939 switch-pad. I have the module enable with an IDC driven by an adjustment group setting and the software functional group enabled by the same IDC.

Does anyone know how a way to store it that it won't be lost durring a switch out to a new module, even if it is use a digital hourmeter and pull the info from it?

Software Compatability Protection

Rick 8 years ago in IQANrun updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 8 years ago 1

Maybe this is already in IQAN, but in that case I wouldn't know how: How to avoid the Service-guy from accidentally loading an incomptable version into a MC2/3/4?


Example. We have a 2017 machine with a "Chassis MC2". Next year we make the same machine, same "Chassis MC2", but with a different 2018 program. Because the machines look the same, it's easy to make a mistake and load the 2017 program into a 2018 machine, or vice-versa.


Would it be possible to define a certain "Program ID" or "Family" value in IQAN-Design? And then when uploading a newer version, to let IQAN check this tag first. If different, IQAN should warn (but still allow eventually if you are 100% sure).
