Scaling resistance to voltage

Deanne 1 year ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year ago 7

I am trying to calibrate a level sensor that has a resistance output of 240 ohms (empty) to 33 ohms (full). The calibration below was what the setup is currently, but I am getting a high error on the VIN input. I am looking to fix the min and max, but I am unsure of how to scale this to voltage. I am getting a raw value of ~4999 at full.

Ambient air temperature sender

Matthew Herzig 1 year ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year ago 3

I thought this would be easy to find but having no luck.  I have a request to read the outside ambient temperature on the MD4-7 and not having any luck finding anything to do this with.  If all else fails the standard ones I have used for hydraulic fluid might work in a pinch but unsure how accurate that would be.  If this is something anyone has any ideas on I would appreciate any feedback.

Can I have 24 Volt COUT if I have 12 Volt Power Supply?

I CAN GO 2 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 2

I may have missed it in the training on IQAN Design, but is it possible for me to have a 24V COUT from an XC43

if I have only a 12V battery supply?

Interested in IOT

chuck streb 2 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 1

I am interested in IOT of data. I have the MC43. What is the best way to get my data to the clients.

I need a hardware path and a cloud place for the data.

Thank you

Reading Canbus through USB

Deanne 2 years ago updated by Andy 2 years ago 1

I have the IXXAT USB to CAN V2 compact adapters along with a phoenix D-sub connector that has a resistor. I am tied into the diagnostics bus line (CAN-A-L and CAN-A-H) on the MD4-5 but I am not getting a CAN connection on IQANanalyze. This is my system layout:

I have a 4-pos deutsch connector for the G11 so I am using that for my USB Canbus adapter. I think I am missing something else.

Parker UTS

Christopher Fridstaden 2 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 1

Hi!

I have a question regarding the Universal Tilt Sensor:

We are to use a Parker UTS as shown in the picture below:

Image 3588

When reading the "Installation Sheet" regarding the mounting orientation it says:

Image 3589

Since we have a +/- 90 degree sensor I assume, from the picture, that it can be mounted "upside down".

However, when looking in the "User Manual" it says:

Image 3590

Since we have a 2-axis sensor this tells me that we can NOT mount it "upside down". From my perspective the two pictures contradict eachother when reading them separately. If I am supposed to combine the information from the two pictures my conclusion is that only +/- 90 AND 3-axis sensors can be mounted "upside down" but this seems a little too far-fetched. The information must be clearer than that.

Question: Considering the sensor we have, as shown in the first picture, can it be mounted "upside down"?

Also, while we are at it:

When reading the "User manual" under "3.1 Characteristics" I can not find our particular sensor that has Part.no: 169453ECD. Are there any differences between our V2.5 and V2 regarding the CAN messages or is the specification provided in the "User manual" also applicable to V2.5?

I hope you can shine some light on this matter. Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Christopher Fridstaden

Output Switching Life

705David 2 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 1

We are looking at the possibility of removing a reverse light flasher from our vehicle electrical system but have a question regarding the life of the High Side Digital Outputs.

Is there an expected lifespan of the Digital Outputs measured in Cycles or Switches?

The lights we would be controlling are 1.5Amp and would be Cycled at 1Hz.


Is there a concern with reducing the life of the digital output when used in this manner?


Thanks,

Controlling Voltage Outputs

Deanne 2 years ago updated by Markus Seppänen 2 years ago 14

New to controlling voltage output devices with IQAN. Since there are no physical voltage outputs on the controller modules and just current outs, I am assuming I need to do some sort of conversion using the MATH channels? Ex, I am trying to control a sensor that has a 0-10V output.
