I've had to upgrade the software on my notebook from V2.63 to V4.07 as the MD3 we've received from our vendor has V4.07.  When I open the V2.63 in the V4.07 application, I am getting several errors, "Value Type Mismatch" and "Invalid Property Value".

Is this a common issue with a V2.63 application that had no errors when open it up in V4.07, or am I missing a step?

Thanks, your responses are much appreciated.

I have an application that uses a custom button to show other pages, but when I press this button the HMI hangs for a few seconds and then shows the requested page, how can I do to lessen that time or better eliminate it?

 regards.

We are using HS output C2:51 DOUT G on an MC43 FS module, and we are getting open load errors displayed even though the setting 'DOUT under current detection' set to 'No'. I have downloaded the application from the system (because I wondered if the undercurrent setting hadn't been set correctly) and it was still showing 'No'.

Is this a bug or perhaps any other reason it could be causing problems? When energising the output using software we get no faults appear and the output states 'true' when measuring in IQAN Design. When we switch the output off, we get this error. We have a load of approx 100mA connected direct to ground.

We are using IQAN Design 5.04.8.5179, connecting MC43 via Ethernet.

When we connecting via Ethernet, start measure function does not show all channel status. Most of channels stay in grey color, and not showing its status.

It happens when the number of channels are too many. When only few channels in that group, the status will show. So, it looks like the data are not communicated between IQAN Design and the master module (MC43). Or data were overflow when too many channels showing at the same time.

In case an External Function includes an output of any type (perhaps also input, haven't tried) you can assign it to the module where the external function is being used (or slave module I suppose), change pin alternatives, etc (good feature).  But, I think you should allow edit its name, once asigned, so you can give them unique names. If I want to use that external funcion several times, I will get many outputs called identically, which is a mess. I Know automatic name can be set for outputs... but for efficient diagnosis is more or less the same. You want it to have a meaninfull name.

Thanks!

Would be nice if Text Parameter Channel tied to specific mode selector logic could display values such as math channel or feedback from sensor values.

Example:

SMC has 2 stages

1. Sensor OK
2. Sensor Failure

If sensor status is ok it would be nice for TPC to display its value however if sensor fails, regular text such as "Sensor Failed" would be used.

It would be even more cool is TPC had abilities to choose text/value color to be used on the display. 

Hello,

We are making a measuring report with help of excel of our machines by using a measuring file. Almos every time when Iqan has an update from design 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 the top of the excelfile will change. By doing that we have problems with our report what is regenerating automatically. But also the properties are not constant.

We would like to have the project and the version in the properties of the excel file.

We expect in software version the version mentioned in the properties of the project. Not the version of iqan. By the way: it does not work to set 4.07 version in this cell

Is it possible to add the project version in the cell of excel. I thought that run 2 had this.

Kind regard

Laura

I would like to have a higher default value for brightness. We could change when loading the program using IQAN run, but this is not an adjustable item. I could use the backlight override parameter, but then I would have to create another adjust group to change it rather than using the standard menu system. Is there a way to adjust through IQANRun or change the default value?

Would be nice if there was an ability to import/export all the I/O data from a single project to (i.e. an XML based document?) this in order to be able to be imported in ECAD software like Eplan
