It's recently come to my attention that the final order for new XA2 and XS2 modules is this month (January, 2024). This blindsided us, since we never received any warning for this. We were instructed to move to the newer XC expansion modules, but never given a date of when production of these would be discontinued. There was a Parker notice sent out in April, but this never made it to us as an OEM/end user, so now we're scrambling to figure out a strategy for service and replacement of the hundreds of modules we have in the field, if there's any issues in the future. There's not a great way to replace these, especially in systems that use an MD3, since the XC series is only compatible with IQANDesign 6.00+ and the MD3s aren't supported in those newer versions. These MD3 systems will likely require a full controls overhaul due to one faulty module.

Can Parker please post these notices publicly somewhere where end users/OEMs can see these directly from Parker?

Or is there a mailing list that we could sign up for to receive these notices?

Solely relying on vendors to filter out and forward important notices such as this to end users/OEMs is clearly not sufficient.

Does anyone have information about the MDL C2 connector and connections?

Because programming cable 5030110 is no longer available, I have to make this cable myself.

We have been told by our distributor here in the UK that all hardware (displays, master modules, expansions etc) are on minimum 12-14 week delivery time. Is this likely to improve any time soon?

Minimum of 3 months delivery for a component if we have one fail on a machine seems a very long time to wait!

I am setting up my first project, run a servo.

I see how to set the frequency of the tag, but i don't see how to set pulse width.

0%=500us pulse  100%=2500us pulse.

Any example would be helpful 

Thank you !

It would be super helpful to have a USB port on new master modules that would allow end users to plug in and download new software that we could send them, instead of making them purchase IQAN Run. Just an idea, I'm sure others agree that some sort of alternative way to allow end-users or dealers to load program updates would be very helpful. (if there is a way to do this without any additional hardware please let me know)

Molex has indicated that the MX123 connector series are scheduled for end of life. These connectors are used on all of the MC4 and XC4 series modules. Does Parker have any information on potential future compatible replacement parts?

Hi,

I'm currently shopping for a USB-CAN adapter.

Looking at this thread : https://forum.iqan.se/knowledge-bases/2/articles/231-usb-to-can-interfaces , I went to Ixxat website because I used it in the past with IQAN system and it was working really fine. 

I know I could go with the regular "USB-to-CAN V2 compact" (https://www.hms-networks.com/p/1-01-0281-11001-ixxat-usb-to-can-v2-compact), but I came across the "simplyCAN" which is around half the price : 
https://www.hms-networks.com/p/1-01-0001-12001-ixxat-simplycan

Does anybody tried the Ixxat simplyCAN and confirmed it works OK with a IQAN system?

Have a good day!

Hi folks,

Does anyone here have experience with controlling a Danfoss PVEM valve with IQAN?

Danfoss literature is rather scarce, and I am working with a legacy machine, and trying to upgrade the controllers.

What should the signal be going from the MC43 to the PVEM?

Thanks,

We have a IQAN R7 software app on our computer.  We are trying to communicate with a IQAN software on a Weiler brand machine. It has a CAT ET port that we are supposed to connect to the machine with via a CAT Comm adapter 3.  When I go to connect, selecting CAN on the connection page, it gives a error code E126 Unable to load CA3rp32.dll. Please update RP1210 driver to a 64-bit version. I dont know that we have that option to do a RP1210 update.  

XC43 does not have a 0-10V output. I need it for a command signal to another module. What is the best way to do this? PWM? COUT with resister? Thanks!
