Reading Canbus through USB

Deanne 1 year ago updated by Andy 1 year 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 1 year ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year 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 1 year ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 year 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 1 year ago updated by Markus Seppänen 1 year 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.

Has anyone ever had issues with overlapping CAN messages with CANopen devices?

Deanne 2 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 2 years ago 0

A question came up regarding CANopen devices with various voltage references. A customer is experiencing overlapping CAN messages due to one of their devices having a -VREF using a different brand of controller. I am wondering if this issue is seen on IQAN or if IQAN already has processes in place that avoids this issue.

Hie guys...i would like to connect an ACC100 to my system..i would like to know if there is a way of getting roll pitch and yaw seperately or it only gives me an angle in one axis

Differential Analog Sensor Signal

Doug Coutlee 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 2

I am looking for a way to use a shunt style current sensor that has a differential analog output with an IQAN module. Does anyone have suggestions? https://riedon.com/resistors/view/ssa  Riedon-Smart-Current-Sensor.pdf

Powering down modules in runtime

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

I have to modify my system and add 2 expansion (or masters if necessary) to meet safety standards. Only 1 module can be powered at a time. Is there a way to do so without having errors every time one is powered down?

Serial numbers from clone

Marcel 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 3

If you make a clone, can you read the serial numbers of the hardware where the clone is retracted from? In the clone file somewhere I mean.

Thanks,

IQAN ST sensor current consumption

RMardis 3 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 1

Is 5 - 7.5 uA correct for current consumption? or is that a typo in the data sheet?
