Canbus Termination Issues.

Andy 3 years ago updated by Doug Coutlee 3 years ago 1

Hi People

A suggestion for evolution of hardware/software to address an issue I have discovered in a specific set of circumstances.

I have a canbus on a MD4 display that has 3 devices on it. 2 are permanently there and the 3rd is a fallback device that may or may not be there depending on circumstances. The 3rd device is a wired remote control and because the wire is an extension of the canbus by its nature it needs to be an end device on the canbus and therefore needs to be properly terminated. If its not on the bus then something else needs to provide termination. I can do that by having a plug in connector that has an epoxied 120Ohm resistor that can be the missing termination when needed, but that is clunky and I really would prefer to not rely on Operators even having to understand what a terminating device is....

If the MD4 display instead of just Yes/No as the choice to terminate the canbus had a couple of alternate options then I possibly could deal with the issue automatically and not require operators to do anything.


One Option would be if the MD4 had an option where we could get it to look at the characteristics of the electrical bus and terminated if it needed terminating. If the MD4 was put on the logical end and an alternate device with termination wired so it extended the bus past the MD4 then such a solution would be electrically correct. If you added the MD4 to the middle of a bus then such a solution would provide correct resistance but would not terminate at the correct location in the bus. So care would still be needed


The second option ( and possibly not a great solution) is to test the potentially unreliable bus to see if a device is present through using a GFIN or J1939Framein to determine if a device is present and then be able to use that to determine if a bus should or shouldn't be terminated programmatically...The issue is of course if the device is present but due to badly terminated bus doesn't respond or isn't heard to respond then.......


Anyway, in my case I believe Option 1 would be a great solution, when the 3rd device is present the MD4 ends up being midbus and when looking at impedance would see the correct 60ohms and not terminate. if it wasn't present the MD4 would be at the end of the bus and would see 120Ohms at the far end and would terminate correctly. The only issue I can forsee is that such an approach cant be a one time check at powerup becuase what happens if its added after the initial check is done.....


Anyone got any thoughts or a different approach that I should take?

Scrape All Logs From Batch of Clone Files Into Excel/txt Files

Mack 3 years ago in IQANscript updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 2

Is there a way to save all logs from a clone into an excel file for a batch of clones? I'm not familiar with IQAN Script and we don't use it at all but, Ill learn it if this is possible. Use case: we receive many clones from the field as part of our warranty process. I want to compile these clones into a folder and then scrape all the logs into text or excel files. Can be a single file or one per clone. Hoping to identify which alarms we see most commonly across are machine models. The save as excel using IQAN run works it just requires saving each log group for each clone which will be very time intensive. A start would be if I could save all logs for a single clone in a single step.

I think they may have been asking for something similar here:

MD4-7 Dialog Box : ReActivation and Scroll ?

Julian Robinson 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated 3 years ago 2

Hi there, I am wondering if anyone can help me with a feature I really think is important:

I use 2x MD4-7 displays (and 3x MC43's) in a Multi Masters system

What I want is to recall the Dialogue Box or Conditional Message for all active "System", "Engine DM01" or "CMSG" generated errors/faults/messages etc, with a single button - any active fault message that would appear within the dialogue box on the screen.

Then I want to scroll through these messages without accepting them/cancelling them with the cross on the (RHS Top) box with a forward, backwards button etc, before eventually cancelling the on screen dialogue box all together (with or without accepting the faults). This I feel is a really important feature. People want to know all the active faults/message of the entire system, but without them disappearing altogether from the screen before the information is understood.

There is a timer to re activate the dialogue box, but this is really not a good option. I need a recall on demand, not a timer.

I see this on other engine displays (Murphy etc). So far I cant figure this out, so of anyone knows how to do this it would be great!

Otherwise, this is a really good feature to add to new feature request list please?

Thanks!

Julian

Adjust parameter is disabled in MD4 when out of range

toby 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Lars Bolduc 3 years ago 3

So we are running into an issue where we have an integer adjust parameter that had a range of 0-400 and we decided to change the range to 0-60, but if we update systems that have a value set greater than 60 then the adjustment slider in the MD4 is disabled and you cannot set the value, without going through the IQAN go app to force the parameter into the range. Is there a way to either have it set the parameter to either the max value or to the default value during an update? Preferably it would just keep the value and allow you to update using the slider, jumping into the new range. Thanks

Include unit in DBC export

Christopher Fridstaden 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated 2 years ago 6

Hi!

I've stumbled upon something that maybe you guys could clarify or just acknowledge:

I exported a Generic Frame(GFIN) with associated Generic Parameters(GPINs) to a DBC-file but the units for the parameters don't get exported. Everything else works just fine!

I selected the GFIN in the Function Group and then clicked "File" -> "Export" -> "Export CAN database..." and saved the file but upon opening it the units for the parameters are nowhere to be seen.

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

I am using IQANdesign 6.07.8.7990.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Christopher Fridstaden

SV Camera Power Cycle

Lars Bolduc 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Pierre Fagrell 3 years ago 3

Hello,

I have an SV Camera and an MD4-7 on separate power supplies.
They're communicating over a wireless link.

If I power up the SV Camera before I power up the MD4, it never links up. Always shows 'No Contact' for the camera.

Is there a way to avoid Power Cycling the camera?

I could see a static IP avoiding the need for the DHCP process, but I don't believe you can configure the SV Camera to have a static IP.

Channel values obstructed while in measure mode

Channel values are obstructed by green box while in measure mode. It would make more sense to move green box to far right.

IQANrun send .idsx stripped project file

Pierre Fagrell 3 years ago in IQANrun updated 3 years ago 0

Now since IQANrun is updated almost with every release of IQANdesign, would it be possible to include firmware so we can send stripped files with IQANrun? 

This would make it more efficient to store many versions and also especially when emailing projects to a customer since they are often above 25MB.
