Help: Directional pulse count losing memory position when pushing a new program.

C. Harp 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 7 years ago 4

I have a program that uses a directional pulse count channel. I have sent the program with all of the boxes UNchecked for send get options but it still resets the channel. Can anyone offer insight on what the proper settings should be that will retain the accumulated position when you load the program so that it doesn't reset to 0. I am sure that there is small that i am missing, but i need some help with it. 


Here are my current settings:


Send/Get OPTION SETTINGS: (I have attempted sending with all of these unchecked but still get the same result)


Directional pulse count channel: (the IDC does not fire until a button is pressed on a remote screen which is inbound from a canbus display.

CAN Open Safety Device Communication

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

I'm researching CAN open safety sensors and trying to establish how the communication works. I'm under the impression that CAN Open safety is not a totally new protocol but rather a way of transmitting data between devices in a safe way, using standard CAN Open protocol by anti-phasing some of the message contents.


Will the MC4xFS modules support CAN Open Safety communication with the specification of a device that is compliant with SIL 2, pLd as detailed below?


CAN interface (hardware):

According to ISO 11898-1 & ISO 11898-2 (also known as CAN 2.0 A/B)


CANopen application layer and communication profile:
CANopen Safety protocol: EN 50325-5, CANopen protocol: EN 50325-4 (CiA 301 v4.0 & and 4.2.0)
CANopen device profile for inclinometers: CiA 410 version 2.0.0


The common ground between the two is the CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B, does this mean i can achieve CAN safety communication?


Has anyone had any experience with these devices or perhaps a template application they could share?


Thanks.

Hi All,

Could anyone please let me know if there is a tool for the IQAN suite that can translate the contents of the Menus and the standard messages from IQAN (Overloads, open load, no contact, etc)? 

Peace,

Nico

Simulate I/O diagnostics cases for HS or LS digital output on MC4X

Fredrik Lorenc 7 years ago in IQANsimulate updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago 4

It is possible to simulate different I/O diagnostics cases for i.e. current outputs on the MC43 by left-clicking on them and selecting status. A list of different I/O faults appear for the given output. However, when trying to do the same for a HS, LS or HS/LS digital output, the "Status" option is grayed out. I find this strange as the manual for the MC4X states that there are diagnostics for these output types as well.

Line Graph Min/Max

Joe 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Jean-Marc Zanni 5 years ago 1

It would be nice if the min and max values for the Y-axis of a line graph could be driven from a channel rather than static?

Log an Array

Mark Walser 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Hugo Giroux 4 years ago 5

Is there a way to log an array.  I have 4 values that are put into an array that I want to log for future data analysis and logging them as 4 separate items does not allow for using the data effectively.
