DMAC & MAC - Store Value - New property request

Nick Pridham 10 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago • 4
It would be nice to have a store value property for these channel types. This is very useful when calculating totalising statistics. For example: the total angle movement of a boom can be calculated with a MAC running the derivative calculations and a memorising channel storing the value on a timer loop. 

A store value property in the DMAC/MAC makes it a bit neater.

Backlight auto-adjuste

Florent Mirieu de Labarre 9 years ago in IQANdesign • updated 9 years ago • 3

Hi


My customer use product during the day and the night. The problem is in night the backlight is too hight. It is possible to change with the menu, or with a button to switch in night mode. it's work but is not auto-adjuste.


Three possibility to do an auto-adjust-backlight

1 - add a light sensor (light Garmin GPS)

2 - add a function who calculate the sunrise and sunset with latidude/longitude in input. I have made this fonction it is works great. But if the system loose date or the customer change place (it is possible with our product), it doesn't works. Like that there a number 3

3 - add a GPS module on your module (now a GPS module is very low cost (5$)), like that always on time, you have the real speed, and you can use the auto-adjuste-module

New stile for adjust menu

Dingoma 9 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 9 years ago • 2

Hello.

Sometimes, when our customers try to tune the crane, they get confused with plus/minus "menu"

Usually, at least for a crane, plus and minus adjusts aren't similars in values (start, stop, min and max) for one movement, I think it would be an improvement to allow customer to modify values in different screens for plus and minus movement. It would be a good improvement to include a photo of the movement that they are adjusting.

MDL TO MD4 CONVERSION

mgoutier 9 years ago • updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 9 years ago • 5

I new here, and new to the software platform, so hello to everyone. Although I am new to the IQAN platform I am very familiar with PLC programming and basic logic.


I am tasked with converting a bunch of MDL programs to MD4's (as we aren't going to be able to get any MDL's soon) and as I dive into this it seems like there should be a much easier way to do it.


Can someone do a quick write up of the most efficient way to complete this task?

Integer vs. real values

Arno Heeren 10 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 9 years ago • 2
Hi,
the answer might be interesting also for other users:
When should I use integer and when real values?
CAN-communication is one example where I see benefits using integer values.
Thanks.

backlight in multi display setup

Ed Schippers 9 years ago in IQANdesign • updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 9 years ago • 1
Multi display setup, MD4-7” (master) and MD4-5” (non touch) I want the backlight of the 5” display to match the 7” It would be nice if this could be done by using the backlight setting of the master by means of a system information output or an option in the backlight control setting of the other display to bind it to the setting of the master. Instead of an extra adjustable parameter.

Regards,

Ed

Ability to change mathematical channel type (MAC, DMAC, IMAC)?

Gary Posey 9 years ago • updated by Roy den Drijver 3 years ago • 3
It would be great to be able to change the math channel type after it is already created and used within the program. This would be especially useful since when converting an .ida2 to a .ida3, all math channels become real numbers, and in a lot of cases integer channels must be used.

Possibility of using USB stick for downloading data?

Kevin 10 years ago • updated by Tyson Lambert 9 years ago • 6
Would there be a possibility of downloading log files by simply connecting a USB stick to a master module USB socket? Perhaps would need some IQAN software to 'unlock' access to logs so they can then be extracted and viewed and .csv files?


Also it could be useful if we could also have the ability of downloading programs this way, although security could be an issue.
