MD4 10" screen
Does anyone know how the 10" version of the MD4 is coming along. The last information I had was the unit was not released for production yet due to screen fogging issues. I hope that is resolved as I may well have an application for the unit.
Is the unit available for sale?

MD4 user inputs
I have tried - Grayhill - Graf-Syteco and powerkey so far who do have keypads but they do not have a size or shape currently in production that fits nicely alongside the MD4 (7").
Does anyone have any ideas?

Great Job Rotating the MD3-M15 screen 45 degrees to correct polarization issue. Our customers are pleased.

usb Ethernet adapter for MD4
Could I add a USB port and a USB to Ethernet adapter so they can continue connecting with USB?
Does anyone have a better workaround?

MD4 Temperature Test
Last monday, we did MD4 temperature test. MD4 waited at -33°C for 4 hours in a closed enviroment. After 4 hours, Power on MD4 7" touch panel and We tested digital in, digital out, canbus channel, touch screen. Resault we are fine. We didnt have a problem. My hand just froze when testing :)

Analog Input - Temperature Sensor
The question is if any of you have used a temperature sensor in the analog input of a MD4-7? Was it PTC or NTC? Because in pdf only talks about connect a PTC sensor with a pull-up resistor. Kind regards. Diego.

IP camera with external 12/24VDC supply.
Do anyone have a good suggestion of a IP camera for MD4 that have external 12 or 24VDC power supply? Most of the cameras I've seen only have POE and a POE injector just ad up a lot of cost.
Of course rugged design for mobile application would also be a benefit.

PWM Output Commanded to 0, but voltage measured at Output
IQAN Tech Support,
We are looking for help with troubleshooting our "IQAN Controller, Master Unit, IQAN - MC43" Safety Controller. It is getting inputs from two Temposonics tank-level sensors in our electronic water-level system, models GB Series & RF 5th Gen input sensors. The IQAN controller is PN 20085113.
We are receiving a potential difference (voltage output) of 0.39 V from Output pin to System Ground when measured with a multimeter; however the programming software indicates that the output should be 0 V. Our known inputs and outputs are below:
Inputs |
Outputs |
||||
I!: Inclinometer |
Connector 1, Pin 26 |
0 – 5 V |
O1: High |
Connector 1, Pin 48 |
0.24 V (Pin-to-Pin) |
I2: AFT Level Sensor |
Connector 1, Pin 53 |
4 - 20mA |
O2: Low |
System Ground |
|
I3: FWD Level Sensor |
Connector 2, Pin 33 |
4 - 20mA |
***SHOULD BE = 0.0 V Output*** |
- The tank level sensors are bottomed-out, as there is no water in the tank.
- With no water in the tank, the IQAN is programmed to output 0% Du Cycle, yielding 0.0 gallons on the display - but there is a .39V measured.
- The lowest water level reading that the sensors could output is 120 gallons, but should read 0.0 gallons below that.
- We are needing help troubleshooting and establishing / calibrating our 0.0 baseline
Questions:
1. Why is a voltage being read at the output, when the program is indicating that it should be zero?
2. Can we create a code or loop in the program to circumvent the small output voltage?

Slow cycle time on MD5
It appears the fastest application cycle time on the MD5 currently is 50ms, which is 5x what it was on the MD4. Is this something that is planned to be improved in a future software or firmware release?
I need to be able to send out 10ms messages and it is just not possible from what I can tell on the the MD5 series.

Larger Program memory
For a long time we have been running into the limitation that the Program memory is too small for us. Is there also a view with the new MC4x to increase this in the future to 3Mb for example, this would help us enormously in adding functions that we are now forced to leave on the shelf.
