Added modules IQAN-MC43, IQAN-MC2, IQAN-MC41

The IQAN-MC4x series is now added in IQANdesign. These controllers also add two new channel types, current loop inputs (CIN) for 0-20mA sensors, and 0-32V voltage inputs (HVIN).

For details about the hardware, see IQAN-MC4x

IQAN-MD4 issue and recommendation

An IQAN-MD4 bluescreen could occur while measuring if CAN-C/D was heavily loaded. Fixed.

Also added an IQANdesign hint to recommend CAN-A/B on IQAN-MD4 for multi-master diagnostics for best performance. Also see IQAN-MD4 .

We are happy to announce the release of IQANrun on App Store. Hurry up and get your copy today, it's offered at a low introductory price for a limited time period.

IQANrun is a user friendly service tool for the IQAN series of controllers and displays. It enables service technicians or machine owners to connect wireless to IQAN modules in their machines, and perform actions such as check system status, view logs, measure in real time and change settings.

Wireless

System overview

IQANrun is a powerful troubleshooting tool. It features a system overview function, where you quickly find module or I/O related alarms or errors. Here you will also find settings such as date/time and language, and module information such as serial number, software version and more.

Logs

View all logs (system, event and statistical) and their content. There is a filter function that lets you find what you're looking for fast and easy. And you can erase the content of a log when needed.

Measure

This is a powerful tool when you need to do more detailed trouble shooting, or just want to view the value on a certain input, output or internal channel. All measured values are presented with their corresponding unit and status, or graphically in a line graph.

Adjust

IQANrun has a unique function for adjusting inputs, outputs and parameters in real time. It is also possible to reset a setting to its factory default value if needed.

Operations

On an MD4 with alternate languages some languages will not show characters until that language has been selected by the user in the preferences menu. Also, once an alternate language is selected, the program pauses for about 15 seconds. When the MD4 is power cycled with an alternate language selected, the MD4 will have a blank screen for 15 seconds until the home page appears with the alternate language.

In the case of these screenshots, the missing language is Japanese, but Korean does the same thing.

After a language has been selected, it will now show on the screen:

IQANdesign version 4.03.27.4322

• Japanese language code: ja
• Japanese font: Arial Unicode MS

• Korean language code: ko
• Korean font: Arial Unicode MS

Any suggestions? Is there another font we could try for Japanese and Korean?

Thanks!

Dave

From time to time on various pieces of our MDL2 equipped machines, we'll get get an "Overload" error on a COUT channel.

The COUT channel connects directly to a 350-650 mA valve solenoid that runs an engine cooling fan.

What exactly does "overload" mean in this context? If a COUT channel is basically a PWM output with current monitoring, how can the controller ever overload the output?

What are the specifics that the controller looks for to register an overload error on a COUT?

Thanks,

Luke.

Dear

It would be nice to add a box to select or deselect the information integralité statements.
Then add a coming information to see on the statement.

Best regards

We would like to use slider controls on a display page functioning as a proportional lever. So when you adjust the slider on the screen the parameter changes. When you release the slider control it goes back to 0 or whatever you choose as reset value. This way we can make proportional joysticks on the screen.

My idea is to implement it asap! ;-)

Is there any way to change the language shown on the display pages without simulating and selecting the alternate language? It would be really nice to see and adjust the translated text while viewing the pages in IQAN Design.

Hello.

 It would be great adding the pin code on MD4 the startup page. 
We hope that every user have user name and password to run the all system. 
Is it possible for MD4 master display?

Best Regards.
