Frequency input seems to be filtered instead of raw on an MC43. How does the MC43 Frequency input filtering work? Is the input filtered over x milliseconds? Is it filtered over x impulses?

How does a frequency input of the IQAN module work? i.e.:

a) Filtered over x milliseconds

b) Filtered over x impulses

c) Resolution 1 rpm = x digits

Multipage Byte Qty

Todd F Reddick 3 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 1

Hi, are you able to expand the # of bytes sent from 42 we are limited to now? The issue with sending individual pages to compensate is that we are limited by buss speed/scan time. My current requirement is over 100 bytes but the project is also expanding. Are you able to get to the 1785 byte limit?

Copying Adjust group

Brandon Devine (KTC) 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 3

Hello,

Question. I have an adjust group full of Integer Parameters. Lets called this adjust group A. I have copies of the same Integer Parameters that are tied to a different Input that I want to put in adjust group B. I want to take these copies and put them into another adjust group and use the same minimum, maximum, and step size as the integer parameters in adjust group A, into adjust group B. My problem is that whenever I copy adjust group A to make adjust group B, and then change the channel to one of the copies, it not only changes the channel for adjust group B. It changes the channel for adjust group A as well. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

State Machine Channel (SMC) editing improvements

toby 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by jan 2 years ago 5

Upon adding a new state to a SMC, the SMC channel name is selected instead of the new state name and you have to go back and click the New State again to edit its name. This is very annoying and often results in changing the name of the SMC instead of the new state name.

Override Automatic IO Fault Messages with custom text and severity.

705David 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Pierre Fagrell 3 years ago 3

The ability to override, disable, or modify the automatic message displayed when there is a fault on a specific IO point (High Error, Low Error, Open Load) would be beneficial for us.

There's a scenario where a PWM HS+LS signal is used to monitor an interlock loop. Some of the devices in the loop require a PWM signal to accept the interlock as valid. We would like to monitor the Output status for open load to determine if the loop is broken, so using a HS output and disabling Open Load Detection wouldn't work in this scenario.

If we could override the message text and severity for each IO Point individually, it allow Parker to keep the Open Load Detection where necessary, but we could have a more friendly interface for the operator without nuisance alarms.

Manage project properties externally

Wilfred Sijtsma | Hytrans 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Chris Litwin 3 years ago 5

Within our company we have a document management system. This system provides an automatic version management of drawings, Word and Excel documents, but also the IQAN project files. The document management system provides the correct file name, display version in the file, etc.

We run into the problem that we cannot arrange this in IQANdesign. My question: is there an API available to read and edit the project properties (of the IQAN file) so that they can be managed from our document management system.

List of elements or table etc

Dmitriy Stupak 3 years ago in IQANdesign 0

I have some warnings that I should show to user when I receive them. Is there a way to scroll any list ot another way with list of elements? If I receive, for example, 10 elements but I can show only 5 on the screen. Especially when I have different types of messages: warnings, causion, notifications...

Should I only add some hidden elements and show them in time? But it will be strange way... Especially when I have many different elements 

Thanks for any advices!

Eye friendly active state tab

Richard 3 years ago in IQANdesign 0

Easy one this, when you are doing a large state machine after a while the state you are on becomes a little hazy, perhaps instead or as well as a lightly raised tab, a color code might make it easier on the eyes? So instead of:-

we could have something like: -

Just a thought.

It  would be great to let the user mark text in the script to be able to copy text.

Handling Dynamic Length Text Parameters in the middle of a PGN (64582)

705David 3 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 5

I'm working with a TPMS System and there is a PGN 64582 (0xFC46) which has SPNs in order:

a = Number of Tire Sensors

b = Tire Sensor Tire Number

c = Tire Sensor Location

d = Tire Sensor Identification Number (ASCII with * delimiter)

The Digital Annex says d mentioned above is variable length from 0 to 200 bytes followed by "*" delimiter.

The SPNs are received in order a,b,c,d,b,c,d,b,c,d,...etc (to the number of tires on the machine).

I have attempted to set up the JFIN using JPINs for everything but the Sensor Identification Number, which I use a TPIN with a delimiter of 42 (ASCII *)

The first set of a,b,c,d SPNs I know the bit offset for because a,b,c are fixed length. After the first TPIN, the data no longer lines up with my bit offsets and I can't set the bit offsets of the JFINs to Dynamic.

Is there a way to set up the Bit Offsets to account for a variable length text parameter in the middle of the SPNs?

Thanks,
