Hello Everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with running an IQAN script automatically via the command line (CMD or PowerShell). I need to retrieve logs from a Parker Hannifin controller installed on a mining machine, and it’s essential that no interaction windows are displayed during this process. I’ve followed the scripting format outlined in the IQANrun user manual on page 117, but I’m unsure if there are additional configurations needed to establish a fully automated connection. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

This is the Screen I need to AVOID, I just need to connect direct to this Controller.

Here are the Commands I used so far:

-cif Ethernet -mac 3c-e4-b0-34-ea-38 -silent -send -script 'C:\Users\RHM\Documents\IQAN Files\GetLogsV2.0_l.issx'

Thanks in advance

Hi, in order to be able to use your tool IQANSimulate by our users at Smurfit Westrock, we need you to fill a SW security document. Can you give me a contact to you able to fill it or able to call me? Regards José VILA

Hello,

I am having issues communicated with a UTS  V2.5 +- 90 XYZ sensor over J1939.

I've  tried the UTS version 2 app shared on this link:

https://forum.iqan.se/communities/1/topics/1057-universal-tilt-sensor-uts-programming-shortcut

Seems from that thread the app may not actually work, and documentation may not be up to date.

Anyone have any luck getting this to work?  

If so, are you willing to share either a sample app or provide some insight on what needs to change in the UTS version 2 app to make it work?

Using version IQANdesign v6.08.

Is there any plan to add string compares or other string functions to IQAN yet?

I run into this wall somewhat regularly as our machines get more complex. Adding even simple comparison to strings would be useful. The problem I am trying to solve right now is that I have no way to compare a string to know if it has changed.

Alternatively, if there was some channel status on a text parameter to know if it was updated, that would be useful as well.

I did read through Gustav's thread about string functions here: String functions / Software / IQAN

Doesn't seem there has been much advancement on this topic and those string functions wouldn't accomplish what I am looking to do.

I am trying to store a 10 digit serial number inside my MC43FS code on IQANDesign 7.02.

Unfortunately I have found that the serial numbers always start with 2 and IQAN is limited to storing 2000000000 as an integer parameter.

The system will not accept storing 2000000001.

Why is it that a 32 bit signed integer is limited to 2000000000? The max value of a 32 bit signed integer should be 2147483647.

Edit: I should note that a text parameter cannot be used in this scenario because I must compare the serial number to see if it has been updated/changed throughout the life of the product and take action when it is changed. I am trying to avoid stripping off the 2 and including instructions for technicians to update only the last 9 digits because I can't automatically populate a 2 at the beginning in IQANRun or IQANGo. I am afraid that will net us the first 9 digits of serial numbers if techs don't read the instructions closely.

Hello all, I have numbers in an array that need to be sorted numerically (from small to large). Does anyone have any functions that may be useful? It would also be useful to get the reordered number's index values.

I have a program where I need to send two JFOUTs at 10ms transmit rate.  With the application cycle time set to 50 ms, I get a warning about "Multiple Fast JFOUTs" in the program.  The manual and the help window state that "One JFOUT channel with send method Continuously is allowed to have a transmit rate faster than the cycle time. The resolution for that single channel is 10 ms."  

What is the expected behavior if there are multiple fast JFOUTs?  I flashed the program to a module and observed the two JFOUTs are transmitting at 10ms each.  If I set the application cycle time to 10ms this warning goes away, but what are the potential issues with running two JFOUTs at 10ms transmit time with the module cycle time set at 50ms?  Unless I'm overlooking it, the manual doesn't really outline what the behavior is with this warning present.

While uploading the IQAN Design program to the MC43 which is connected to the MD5 via CAN the screen goes dark after the "receiving baseline" reaches +-15%. To get this far the module needs about 15 minutes as well which seems to long. Is there any logical explanation for this behavior? ps. the system worked fine in the testlayout, now installed in the machine the module was powered off while uploading (Due to a blown fuse). Since this moment the MD5 does not update anymore. 

Hello, I'm trying to use a CAN current sensors for some monitoring and I need it to be on my J1939 bus as i dont want to run a dedicated CAN network to these sensors. The messages are sent from the device as the fallowing :

How do I set up My JFIN channel to accept this message ?  I have my bus source address set to 3 and my destination address set to 0xF1 but I do not receive a message. I have tried several other settings but I am not able to receive the message 

Included with the release of IQANsimulate 6 was an Excel .xlsm file that was set up to interface between Excel and IQANsimulate. This file was originally developed by Anders Båth. One of the aspects of this file was the reference in Excel VBA to the IQANsimulate .exe file which then directed Excel to the header file that includes the object definitions for the automated control.

With the release of IQANsimulate 7, it appears that this Excel file is no longer included. The biggest challenge I'm having at the moment with adapting the old file to IQANsimulate 7 is that the library reference seems to be tied to a Windows Registry value and I cannot easily identify how to remove the reference. This means that the Excel file is stuck referencing the IQANsimulate 6 library and therefore does not run IQANsimulate 7. I need some help getting this reference fixed.

The other issue is that the new installation location for IQANsimulate 7 is in the path C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Programs\IQANsimulate 7 which means that if I am able to update the reference in Excel, it will be pointing to a path that only exists on my machine. I think this might break the ability to share the Excel file with others on my team and have them use it for their own unit testing.

I think the first challenge will be properly identifying the Windows Registry entries that need to be removed in order to unlink the reference to IQANsimulate 6. Then I can at least get the tool working on my computer. The challenge of shared usability will be next.
