Output Switching Life

705David 3 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 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 3 years ago updated by Markus Seppänen 3 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.

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

Deanne 3 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 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 3 years ago updated 3 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 3 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 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 4 years ago updated 4 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

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

4-20ma customer PLC supplied signal for monitoring (XC43)

mgoutier 4 years ago updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago 2

I am designing a new system where the customer has to send me a 2 wire 4-20ma signal to monitor. I can add a resistor to convert it to a voltage input, but I would prefer not to. The manual shows a 3 wire hook up, if I were to not use the Vref pin, would this still work? I am not concerned about the output getting out of scale, and when we do a startup I can calibrate it to the PLC actual range... 

Should this work?
