Hello,

We have a crane control application on MD4-5 and occasionally this message pops up and the whole system is paralyzed and you don't have access to any menu, until restarting the system. 

What is that external system?

Hi guys. Do we have ways to show output information for users in MD4-10? For example Logs, warnings, cautions etc from the machine. Do we have only System dialog? As below:

Maybe someone have some examples how to work with it? Becuase I could add only simple text with text formatter.
Don't we have any another tool for output information? Like text view in Android..

Thanks for any advice!

I would like to reduce my cycle time if possible, though once cycle utilization gets above approx. 55%, display pages take longer to load and logic that requires precise calculation order starts to have issues. From what I can tell you should be able to safely run up to 80% utilization without issue. Any suggestions or fixes would be appreciated.

I have 3 buttons to change condition of the boat: 1 2 3. So when I press one button then it should be disable to press it again but I can press two another buttons to change the state.. What is the best way to do it, guys?

For example these 3 buttons

What is the best way to change value of channel by pressing two buttons? For example change backlight value by pressing "+" and "-" buttons..

On page 38 in the instruction book it lists the following outputs for pin C2:50

OUT_36a

DOUT-F (HS)

DOUT-Y, -Z, -AA, -AB (HS)*

On the next page it lists the following outputs for pin C2:70

OUT_36b

DOUT-F (HS)

DOUT-W (HS)*

DOUT-X (HS)*

Can this be correct? I thought if DOUT-Z is on OUT_36a it must also be on OUT_36b

Another question is: How can I get the printout of pin assignments from IQANdesign to use pins C2:69-72 ?

For example if I am using DOUT-Y, DOUT-Z and DOUT-AA I like to move some of them to OUT_36b instead of OUT_36a and have this reflected in the exported documentation.

In IQANdesign it is possible to change the backup folder so the backup files are all stored in one folder.

This is, what I can see, not implemented in IQANscript.

Would be great if this feature were implemented in IQANscript as well.

How does a master module using the J1939 "Address Claim" property respond to a request for address claimed message (PGN 59904) from an outside controller? Does the outside controller need to be built into the application? Will the IQAN controller respond to the broadcast request and a controller specific request?

I have a 3rd party system that is unknown at design time that requires address claim messages.

I started looking into the Parker IQAN as I am developing an engineering solution with parker motors and inverters. I was looking around to find a good step by step training course for the IQANdesign, IQANrun and IQANsimulate, however the videos are not organised and not targeted for beginners. I have noticed there were training courses in previous years, and I was wondering if there will re-considering the training courses? Otherwise, please advise how to learn for beginners. 

Thank you

Hi Support staff

Most software apps that can stress a PC have a minimum and a recommended PC capability list. I went looking to understand what that is for Design but couldn't find one. Is there one published? For example if I have a requirement to remotely run design on an industrial fanless PC what are the requirements?

I ask in that unlike standard new PC's which contain only the latest or perhaps latest minus 1  generation CPU new industrial PCs that contain 5th Generation (and intel has released 13th recently I think) i7's are still available...as are the boilers that provide the steam....... My desktop which runs design fine is 7th gen, but has good SSD and no mechanical drives so slowness in cpu isn't generally noticeable.....

Anyway, I could simply go latest and greatest but it might not exactly be needed so keen to see if you publish a min/recommended list of capabilities. Technically I need an answer, if there is one, for design, simulate and analyse
