Freeze of the touch screen on MD4

AxelC 11 years ago in Master modules / MD4 updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 5 years ago 9

We are using an MD3 and MD4 as screen on our system.
They print the same info from one CAN BUS

They are on the same system than a generator quite noisy, and when the generator start we loose the touch on the MD4, only the touch.

  • The screen still work good
  • the Md3 act normal

Did any body experiment the same kind of issue?

I don't have a scope on site I am investigating right now on the issue. I will try to
Power supply the MD4 from an other power source
Isolate the power suply if it doesn't work
I will try to add a capasitor if I have time.

Best wire for CAN connections

Kevin 11 years ago in Master modules updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 11 years ago 1
There does not seem to be anywhere that lays out the best wire for connecting modules together. Its well known that shielded twisted pair is the best but we have used untwisted hookup wire on many occasions with no communication problems whatsoever?

We are looking at looming a machine where the data cores could be quite close to wiring used to power solenoid coils and some advise what type of cable to use would be good? Understandably we cannot change it easily so we need to make sure we get it right first time.

M4 Safe Mode

Richard Staite 11 years ago in Master modules / MD4 updated by Johan Lidén (Product manager) 11 years ago 4
Does anyone know if its possible to do a safe mode boot up of an MD4 Scrren.

I have a customer who attempted to move the location of an MD4 and in rewiring has got the wiring wrong! The screen will not now complete its boot up cycle and the diagnostics bus is not available to try to interrogate the machine.

There seems to be a tiny recessed red button alongside one of the screws on the rear of the screen - is this a safe mode button?

MDL stored parameters reseting to default intermittently

Ethan Zeman 11 years ago in Master modules updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 11 years ago 1
I work in product support for a heavy equipment manufacturer that uses the IQAN system.

A customer contacted me to report that intermittently (3 times over the past 8 months) the stored parameters in their MDL2 reset to factory default. The machine had been operating for two year without incident before this began occurring,

When this happens, the site maintenance personnel then have to run calibrations, and enable various functions that have reset to default to match the program back up with their particular machine configuration. After adjusting everything the machine will run as normal for several months until it happens again.

Are there external factors that could cause this behavior or could this be an indication of an internal failure?

Wrong IdTag! Error on MD4

Ethan Zeman 10 years ago in Master modules / MD4 updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 10 years ago 5
Our system runs with a MD4, 3 MC3s, and an XC21.

On two separate machines now (with identical systems) we have received customer reports of an issue of the IQAN system stopping functioning during machine operation.

On the MD4, the screen will say STOP System Message: IQAN-Master Wrong IdTag! system

I have been told that power cycling will not fix the issue. The only way to resolve is to unplug the Deutsch connector from the back of the MD4 and then plug it back in.

This is an intermittent issue. The machines can run 100+ hours before the issue repeats.

The customer was advised to check resistance on the ID Tag (resistance was correct) and to check the pins and wiring condition at the MD4 for any anomalies or corrosion (nothing identified).

Do you have any guidance on this issue?

Battery for MD4

Hello,

I think that inlcuding an internal battery would be interesting in order to maintain RTC values.

Thanks.
