There is information like below but we could not connect the camera. What could be wrong? We are using MD4-7 screen.

Hello, I have a few 12 Bit messages that need to be received as big endian. Due to that the bits to receive on is 16 to 23 and then 28 to 31. I'm using a generic parameter in. 

This is what I need to bring in:

Hi All.

I am using a function parameter with mode selctor and want to be able to update values via an MD4 display and using the adjustment screen. I don't seem to be able to display anything other than mode one as an option to adjust via the screen. Since a application update does not change defult values I can't now change my mode 2+ function paramater values. Anyone help with what I am missing please?

Why is it that getting a clone is password protected by the limited access password?

If you get a clone file and save it, you must use a password to open an view it. I think getting the clone file should not be password protected or it should have a separate option in IQANDesign whether or not to password protect getting the clone.

The only method for "get all logs" in IQANGo is to get a clone and select "yes" when getting all logs. We have been trying to make it standard practice to pull clones when there are issues with a machine in the field but the password protection is a problem for us.

We don't want to give everyone view access by providing our Limited Access Password but we would like people to be able to pull clones without our assistance so they can send them to us.

I have looked into the safe passwords but that solution is not feasible for us either.

I get a hint that "CAN port C or D not recommended for diagnostics". Can you explain why and what issues may arise from this?

Hello! 

I'm trying to connect with MC4x controllers through IQANrun 6 and a PCAN dongle but I'm already stuck at the home screen. After I start IQANrun and select the correct communication interface (CAN), press Connect, I get this "No master module found" error.

• I made sure to connect the dongle before starting IQANrun
• The program seems to recognize my dongle:  
• When I hover over it, I see this: 
• The LED on my dongle burns continuously
• I've got a working license for IQANrun
• It doesn't matter if I change communication device settings to "first available"
• IQANanalyze works fine: 

Any ideas? 

Thank you!

We are planning on having 1 x MC43FS M24 with a single expansion bus loaded with 5 x XC43 modules. All the IO on each module is not used but it would be nice to have them all the same modules for consistency throughout the system. Is there any concerns with bandwidth with 5 modules on a single bus or is it worth cutting as many down to the smaller XC42 or XC41 where possible? They may have lower bus utilisation with the smaller variants? 

Are all the 5 x busses on the MC43 range the same throughput? (MD4 for example had faster busses on A and B I think).

We are planning on 6 x MD5 connected to the MC43, and I have reservations about bandwidth also on the master and diagnostics bus. 

Is CAN FD coming soon? hopefully this will ease my concerns as there is not any real way of calculating bus loads, only measure when the system is complete?

If a system gets switched off or becomes disconnected suddenly (interrupted Bluetooth) during measure in IQAN design, I have noticed that measure still remains active and design wont let you do anything until the measure icon is switched off. Initially took me a while to see what was happening as the comms toolbar (I was attempting to reconnect) was greyed out until the measure was unlatched. See measure icon below still active after disconnect and browsing to a page in the logic.

Weirdly it displays a simulator error after disconnect even though its actual hardware I was connected to:

If you disconnect manually using the comms menu it unlatched the measure, would be helpful if it did this also with comms failure.

Ive saved a simulation file with specific parameters and input/output values but, they dont seem to reliably save. The process here was to run a simulation from design6, setup the parameters in simulate6, then stop the simulation and save. If I run the simulation again, using the file (usually from the last used simulation), sometimes it maintains the parameters but, many times it reverts or changes on a whim. Am I missing something here or is this a bug?

The use case here is that, as our programs grow more complex there is frequently significant setup to get the program to an operating state. IE enabling estop circuits, eliminating alarms, setting inputs to reasonable operating ranges. Being able to save the simulate file with these parameters would save that setup time each time and make it easier for other users less familiar with the program (IE service or techpubs) to simulate what our end users are seeing.

i am getting system messages that say the xc22 module isn't found. then it powers up and works but messages doesn't go away. highly annoying for operators
