We were in the field with Marcel Colnot having blue screen issues with Iqan 3.19. We decided to update the program to 4.01 and try that and the program would not finish loading through an ASUS WL-330NUL when computer was connected wirelessly to the router (it would get to the end but after restart it went to blue screen - it appeared to be looking for an IP address). We had to take out the address tag and load it with a wired connection direct to an Ethernet port on his computer. I have a suface which has no Ethernet port - I have used the wireless adapter with no problems up to 4.01.

Marcel can give you more details if necessary.

I have been using an MC2 as a control module for an excavator attachment. It was working fine until I added tried to add some CAN communication to send pressure sensor pressure values and joystick inputs to a Data Acquisition System. There were 9 signals. I attempted to load the file on, and at the end of the load it through an error saying something like "no return handshake from Master Module." I tried to reconnect to the system repeatedly but it would not establish a connection. I attempted to use the attachment and the MC2 was not sending out any signals.

After turning the power supply on and off and trying to reconnect unsuccessfully, I tried to read the lights. The following sequence repeated:

-2 long yellow followed by 3 short yellow. While not exact (extra long yellow), does this mean "Waiting for Restart"?

-4 Short Red followed by 1 short yellow: Internal Error

-18 short yellow - is this just the "there is something abnormal going on"?

I read this thread: http://forum.iqan.se/topics/98-mc2-cause-of-internal-errorose/ which seems to describe a similar issue. It seems like the advice is to short the ID pins and start in "safe" mode.

If the "waiting to restart" error keeps appearing even after cutting power and repowering, does that mean I need to try and start the program in "safe" mode and reload the program?

Anyone have a nice clean way to short the ID pins? Should I just put 2 clips on the end of a single wire? And what happens once I successfully reload the program? Should I cut power and then remove the shorting wire so it does not restart in "safe" mode?

It looks like there was an error in the software: I specified it try to broadcast the CAN data out over the wrong bus. The CAN data was also unconnected. In this case the information was not vital to the operation, but I am thinking this would be enough to throw an internal error and cause problems. Can someone confirm or deny that a module shut down could be due to a CAN comm error due to incorrectly spec'd bus OR unconnected CAN Comm cable?

Thank you, Graham

I would like for my custom startup image to display for a few seconds longer upon initial startup. Any way to do this?

Hi,

Is there any way to repeat DM1 message from one CAN to another CAN?

Regards,

Frank

Is there a way to break up the time elements in the SIC?

For example, I need to send another J1939 module the value of the minutes, but not the hour or the seconds.

Changes and new features

22588 Send J1939 identification frames

• Software Identification (65242) will contain 5 strings: Project name, version, id, checksum and vmAC version 
• Component Identification (65259) will map the following strings: Make = empty, Model = module type (e.g IQAN-MC2), Serial number = module serial number, Unit number = module address 

Bug fixes

22547 Crash at startup on Windows XP

22555 Master crashes upon DM1 reception if no DM1 is defined

22574 MD4 stops working if external J1939 unit claims address 128

22796 Remove "No contact" alarm for APPIN time-out

Hello,

I woud like to send RTR "remote frame request". İts importanent for node guarding. How can we do it? is it possible ? Please advise.

Thanks.

In both 2.6x and 3.19 programs, when the minimum current on a COUT channel is adjusted on an MDL2 when the output is sending current, the current goes to zero, and the channel appears yellow in Design. The error that the channels shows is "Start Block".

1) What does this mean?

2) Why does it happen?

Thanks!

Luke.
