DM1 Outgoing

Nick Pridham 10 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago • 6
I have two applications that could use DM1OUT

For one application I need to recycle engine DM1 because the interface device does not have another CAN port to listen to. In this application I do not want to add proprietary J1939 to the engine and transmission bus.

For the other application I have a lot of safety flags that could use DM1 and FMI. The current work around is to package them up into a single CAN frame as simultaneous 2 bit values. (32 errors per PGN)

Calculation Order - Send to top.

Nick Pridham 10 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 9 years ago • 3
Calculation order - "send to top". Sometimes functions require custom calculation ordering. In other words, for stability reasons you may wish to force some values to be calculated before others.  It is therefor not possible to use the auto order function and the calculation order has to be done manually.

Some channels like FGI's and FP's automatically need to go to the top or beginning of the calculation order. If the object list is > 1 page then this can mean alot of scrolling.  I would like to right click on an object in calculation order and select a command that sends it to the beginning or top of the calculation list.

UNITS SELECTED WITH SMC OR SP

jesse kilde 10 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 10 years ago • 1
I would like to select a state machine or state parameter for units so when an operator selects metric or english this can be driven in to the units categories. this why when it is displayed on the screen i can just select show value and units with out several more channels and two perameters feeding into different value boxs.

IQAN Creative Studio 3.18 released

Gustav Widén (System support) 10 years ago in IQANdesign • updated 10 years ago • 0

Highlighted features version 3.18


8448 TSC1, add message counter and message checksum
Some engine controllers (e.g. from Volvo Penta) may require the use of checksum and counter in the J1939 TSC1 message.
Image 158

New property "Use checksum/counter" added to TSC1 channel. Select Yes to enable SPN 4206 (message counter) and SPN 4207 (message checksum) in the TSC1 message. When setting this property to no, the legacy setting is to set byte 8 to 0xFF.

19820 Ethernet direct connection
When connecting via Ethernet, the default is that MD4:s on the network are automatically detected. With this feature it is now also possible to enter a private IP address for the module you want to connect to, the address ranges are:
  • 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
  • 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
  • 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Image 159

This alternative is useful when it is not possible to detect all modules on a network, e.g. when there are routers or a VPN in between the PC and the module.
It is now also possible to assign a fixed IP address to master modules with Ethernet, as a property on the master module. The default value for this is to use DHCP.

24921 J1939: Add 500 kbps as selectable baudrate
Most J1939 networks are running at 250 kpbs, but the standard can also be used on a 500 kpbs bus, this is now possible to select on the J1939 bus properties:

25295 Allow smart device connections for MC3 when there are no safety related function groups
This is the property under Security that was previously named Allow IQANrun for tablets. IQANrun for PC is certified together with the IQAN-MC3 a safety related parametrization tool, while the use of IQANrun on other platforms has not yet been certified, and the connection to IQAN-MC3 is currently restricted.
With this change, the restriction is now limited to only those MC3 applications that contain safety related function groups.

25261 MC3: Import/convert 2.x settings
In version 3.11, a function was introduced in IQANdesign and IQANrun to automatically upgrade settings from a 2.x system (case 19927). This was not implemented on IQAN-MC3, so when sending a 3.x project file to a 2.x module, all settings were reset to application default (safe values) if the target module was an MC3.
Now this function has been even more thoroughly tested, and the MC3 settings are now imported and converted by IQANrun. A warning is presented if the project file contains safety related function groups.

Array and Channel Group function, Matrix function

Jean-Marc Zanni 10 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 9 years ago • 2
This is what one of my code look like. Do you think this looks well organized/planned and/or readable?
Image 149
Part of the problem is that we are collecting a lot of information from an external device and it needs to be distributed. It would be extremely useful if we could group signals into Channels(record) which would allow the efficient transfer of data from one function group to another without having this humongous plate of spaghetti, It would be wonderful if the receiving module would automatically inherit all the sub elements without having to recreate them.
Array/Matrix operation. Like wise it would be nice to have the ability to manipulate large quantity of data of the same type. We are dealing with Lithium batteries. We have 120 cells and 120 temperature data point to manipulate. Do you know how long it takes to create the code to read the incoming CAN messages to collect the data and then display them in groups? And God help you if you made a mistake and need to re-organize it. And forget about trying to calculate min/max and average. In almost any other language a for to loop and an array structure make dealing with such items a breeze.

I had some bilinear bars for reverse and forward on the MDL2 display.
Can't find them on the MD4 display.
Is there one?

IQANsimulate 4.00 released

Gustav Widén (System support) 9 years ago in IQANsimulate • updated 9 years ago • 0

Highlighted features

Signal generator

It is now possible to control the value of a simulation item using a signal generator. The signal generator contains a table with time/value pairs.


Image 256


Import of measure file creates simulation items for each channel in the measure file that can be simulated (inputs). Values from the measure file are also imported so that you can play back a measured scenario.


Image 255


Interface to other simulation software

ActiveX support implemented. Makes it possible to read and set values from external software, e.g. Microsoft Excel. There is an example file for this under the examples folder.


Image 254


Remember input values and settings between simulations without having to save

Simulations can be manually saved as .isa4 files. There is also an automatically saved simulation, that stores the input values and all the settings between the simulations. When launching IQANsimulate, there is an option to select whether to use a saved simulation file or create a new one.


Image 257


Keyboard shortcut for small input changes

In the simulation group view the arrows are used to select channel. Ctrl+arrows are used to change the value of the selected track bar. Added shift+ctrl+arrows to change values in raw value steps of 1 (smallest step available).


Possible to add channels to simulation group while simulating

You can now drag a channel from the functionality viewer to a simulation group without having to stop the simulation first. There is also a default simulation group, so it is not necessary to first creating a simulation group.


"Set value" function more accessible

Added a small popup below selected channel containing controls for setting values on the channel. Same method used for physical channels and for the "set value" function for stored and adjustable channels.

Dyamic range for Gauge and Bar control

John Wambold 9 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago • 5

There are many applications that require a variation in units. Currently if I want to display a pressure gauge, I would need to create a PSI pressure gauge, and a BAR pressure gauge. Then control the visibility properties of the gauge to display the desired gauge.

It would be helpful to tie an integer parameter to the "Min value" and "Max value" of the gauge control or bar control. By doing this it would also be necessary to change the "Tick count" value with an integer parameter. This way the programmer would only need to make one gauge and control the properties inside the "Display application" as opposed to multiple gauges.
