G11 option for connectivity with IQAN Analyze

C. Harp 7 years ago in IQANanalyze 0

I would like to see the G11 module added as a device to connect with via internet through IQAN ANALYZE similar to how RUN and DESIGN currently have the option. This would be a very useful tool for diagnosing issues in the field for customers that have the G11 but do not have a CAN sniffer available. 

The G11 has been a very useful tool for me and i would like to see its capabilities expanded.

MC4x pin descriptions

Rick 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 6 years ago 2

Adapting the MC4x modules on our first machines now, we had quite a struggle with the various pin characteristics (DIN Pull-up / Down, A15/17 suitable for relays on the MC3, et cetera). Such details can be found in the Specs of course, but it would be quicker & easier if we can see such details in IQAN Design, for example in the bottom-right corner when clicking an in- or output pin.

Maps in MD4

Fredrik Forsberg 7 years ago in IQANdesign 0

Hello,


Are there any thoughts about integrating some kind of map app to the MD4?

Like google maps or something for navigation?

For example:

-Add a GPS device in the machine and then add some kind of map function in iqan design for the MD4.

-Connect a smartphone to the IQAN system and use the phones gps to show location in some kind of app on the MD4. Or maybe stream the phones map interface on the MD4.


Just some thoughts and ideas. Not high priority.


Regards

Iqan RUN adjust items must be organised in the adjust groups

Sven Bertilsson 7 years ago in IQANrun updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 7 years ago 0

For consistency reasons and short labels, you may have adjust items ( parameters ) with the same name in different adjust groups.

When in Iqan run reviewing actual settings it becomes impossible to know which one you are looking for,

My proposal is to have a possibility to organise the adjust items in the same way as in IQAN design adjust groups.

Byte Order for bit-sized CAN messages

mdaigneault 7 years ago in IQANdesign updated by 705David 11 months ago 9 1 duplicate

Hello,


It would be great if IQAN allowed for Byte Order (Intel/Motorola) to be used on messages that are less then multiples of full bytes. Currently byte order can only be applied on 8/16/32 bit messages, but in some instances we may have a 12 or 14 bit message that requires endianess. We need to do some magic to reorder the bits before sending them, which is a pain.


For example, it is not possible in Parker to send the messages below with different byte orders, as they are not full-bytes.

Have Function Group Input names default to match the name of the respective input channel

Forrest 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 6 years ago 4

I am doing a bunch with functional groups in the latest project to clean things up a bit, and it is annoying to have to individually name/rename each of the FGIs, especially when I change the name of the source and then "have to" rename it again in every Funtional Group where it shows up.
Maybe have a box to check to override the default name strategy for the times someone might want another name used.

Exporting the pin list

Noah Breece 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago 2

Is there a way to export the pin list to an excel-friendly format?

The list is superb to use when making for example wiring cross-reference list.

I know of the Tools-->Project documentation but going to pdf and then to excel is not always so efficient .

New IQAN-MD4 demo pages

The latest IQANdesign versions include some new demo pages for the IQAN-MD4-7. The pages are built on the Fork Lift application example, and illustrate some useful techniques, like working with transparency.

Fork Lift, "Industrial" theme:
Image 132

Image 135

Fork Lift, "High Tech" theme:
Image 133

Fork Lift, "Classic" theme:
Image 134

The pages were made by an industrial designer. He worked in Illustrator/Photoshop to make the graphical design elements, and then used them to build the HMI in IQANdesign. He offers his services to IQAN users, we can provide the contact details.

These are the files:
My Documents\IQAN Files\Examples\Fork lift\Fork lift.ida3
My Documents\IQAN Files\Examples\Fork lift\Classic.ids3
My Documents\IQAN Files\Examples\Fork lift\HighTech.ids3

Classic and HighTech use the same application as in Fork lift, but with different look and feel. They are stripped project files, but can be opened in IQANdesign in the same way as a normal ida3 file. Just select the correct file type in the open dialog, or double-click the file in Windows Explorer.

J1939 - SPN Library Included

Nick Pridham 8 years ago in IQANdesign updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 5 years ago 4

J1939 -71 is now delivered as a large spreadsheet(digital annex) which makes it much easier to search. J1939 implementations from scratch is still a large task. Have you ever considered adding an SPN library to IQAN Design. Clicking on an SPN automatically assigns a parameter to the correct PGN frame with the default J1939 -71 descriptions. It also automatically adds that SPN to the DM1 list. I think this would speed up J1939 implementations.
