Is there a feature built-in to place the MC-4 series into a sleep or hibernate state? If so, is there the ability to Wake on CAN? Will this be implemented in the future?

Is there any reliability data for these modules (non failsafe versions)? We are using modules for control system functions and to see if they comply with basic performance levels (b). Is there any documents that are available showing MTTF of these modules that can assist with calculations?

I see the manual includes this:

IQAN-MC4x performance only runs a sub-set of the MC4xFS functions for internal diagnostics. Because of reduced diagnostics, DC and thus SFF and PFHd is not available for these modules.

But we were able to get reliability data for XC2X range at one stage even though this was not a safety controller, is this likely to be possible with the MC4X?

Tjena.

Är det möjligt att koppla en G11 med Iqansynk mot en MC41, har en MC41 som "standalone" i en maskin och vill redigera vissa parametrar för att se resultatet "live".
Om ja: vart ska den in? (stift)

Om nej: synd...

Hi,

I'm relatively new to the IQAN system. I'm currently using the MC43. Is it possible to have high side digital signalling outputs? I'm interested in controlling some industrial devices that accept 24V digital inputs. From what I understand, most of the digital outputs have some sort of fault detection on loads lower than a few hundred milliamps. The only way around it I found is to use PWM outputs, which are limited and also seem like a bit of a hack.

Would be great to know if this is possible.

Thanks! 

Not sure if HS PWM output circuit support the open load detection, we used pin 45 on MC41, any current measurement capability on this port. If yes, how that can be monitored from the IQan software.

Thanks 

Hello Is there a way to use a GS60 speed sensor with the MD4? I have not tried it yet but would really prefer to use a three wire sensor then an encoder. 

Say the MD4 screen is broken or cracked, would the I/O and CAN messages still work on the module, assuming no damage to the board in the enclosure?

I am working on the control system using MC43. Please let me know urgently whether I can use MC43 ‘PWM out HS+LS’ or ‘PWM out HS’ to control Danfoss PVES or PWEM proportional solenoids 

From MC43 instruction book:

From Danfoss solenoid specifications

Hello Team,

I've been working with potentiometers and parker sensors (pressure and temperature) before without any problems, but now i need to use a voltage output (0-5V) from an amplifier as a voltage input on my MC2. The amplifier is connected to a sensor and have a standard +- output. I've tried to connect + to one of the VIN-x and neg to -VREF (or to the common terminal on the power supply). Tried different combinations but the measurement mode on the MC2 shows zero input all the time. Multimeter measurements confirm that the amplifier output around 1V. Logically don't see why it should now work, but maybe you can advise how 3rd party sensors (amplifiers) are connected to parker systems? Thank you!

If an application have a MD4 and MC4X and they are connected as multi-master. How does the startup looks like? Will the MC4X start communicate with peripherals as soon its booted or does it wait until MD4 is booted?
