I am needing information about the TPOUT channel that the manual does not provide.

I want to send message using J1939 to a 3rd party that will display the message on a user display. (NOT IQAN)

I need know how the message is sent in the TPOUT J1939 data packet.

Can I use the TPOUT channel, or do I need to convert the message from ASCII to HEX and send using a JPOUT channel?

Is it send as a multipacket with one char per byte?

If so, which char is offset bits 1-8, first char in the message or last char in the message.

Thank you

I’m attempting to operate 5 of our platforms together. Normally each platform has a single MC43FS. This project has 5 of these controllers, connected with diagnostic and master buses. If more than three controllers are powered, the headmaster fails to power its outputs. I figured that this could be due to too many application outputs. I’ve attempted to use two separate master buses but this still doesn’t seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated, this is a one off project for marketing purposes so it’s a bit out of our usual expertise. 

In iQAN design 6.08.32 I have noticed that the project checksum which is calculated in the project statistics window is different from the one that is displayed when I right click the .idax file in windows explorer, select properties, then file info.

Why is this?

Statistics window when the file is opened in 6.08.32.8219

We are having issues in the field with some of our service groups not being able to pull clones from our machines. I have attached a photo I was sent from the field. The machine in question has a MD4 [0] and two MC43s [1&2].

The program was installed using design 6.08.30. They are using Run 6.08

They have also tried using run 7 to pull the clone with the same results. Is this a bug or do we need to adjust a setting somewhere?

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone had a good solution for a visual tilt coordinate system in a master display? I am trying to translate a tilt sensor to a visual depiction of something similar to a Leveler Bubble like the photo I have attached to this thread. When editing a display page, you cannot set the coordinates of an image to an input channel, so that a bubble could rotate freely around the page depending on the angle of the head. Currently, the only solution I have been able to come to is having many bubbles on the display page, and showing/hiding them depending on the position of the head using internal digital channels. This does take some time, and can be inaccurate depending on the increments between each 'bubble' on your page. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Angus

Para conectarme en un equipo Weiler me pide licenciar el IQAN run5; pero este ya no esta disponible. Donde obtengo la licencia del actual run7?

If you close Iqandesign 7.03 via File > Exit it opens the help PDF.  I assume this is unintended behaviour?

After upgrading to IQANDesign 7.03.25 from 7.02.33, the XC43 module in our system shows "no contact" error, with R4:3 3:1:7 fault code blinking. The fault goes away after system restart, but randomly gets back after several restarts (cca. with 1:50 probability). Currently 2 of 15 identical systems shows the same issue. Reviewed the logs, the faults only came after the update (the machines were under tests for about 1-2 months with software made with IQAN Design 7.02.33). The firmware update to 2.02 was successful, as I see from module info.

MD4-7 - MC42FS - XC43 multimaster system.

We will tomorrow revert to IQANDesign 7.02.33. I hope the firmware reverts too from 2.02 to 2.01, as we have to deliver the machines soon.

Probable bug in XC4x 2.02 firmware?

In our application a bidirectional COUT output is used. In some machine configurations the second valve is not connected but this results in the Open Load message being sent on the display. Is it possible to disable this error message on the display?
