I have an old faulty IQAN-DG here for repair.

Can someone please send me a diagram of the rear CI, CAN1 and CAN2 connector pinouts.

Thank you

Dear reader,

I need for an aplication a proportional  9 Volt output. is this possible with the system running on 24 Volts? Because if i would use a COUT the voltage would be 24 V.

Is it maby possible to use a PWM output? 

if so, how do i use PWM?

Another option is to run the system on 9V, is this stable to use?

Dear reader

we need for an aplication 4 Voltage inputs on one of the MC4x serie, those voltage inputs aren't a problem but we need to have voltage inputs for 0-7 Volts. is it possible to connect those sesors on the voltage in for 0-5 Volts ,0-5 Volts will do the job in our program. this 7 Volts on the input isn't continuous, these are just peaks.

Thanks for the help!

Hello admins  & all,

I bounced into this forum while searching for information pertaining to IQAN-DG instrument.

My problem is that the display is distorted or rather damaged. On the printed circuit board, it stateds DMF5001NY-LY  Org_DMF5001NY-LY.jpg . I managed to acquired a new display unit DMF5001NY-LY-ATE-BBN . After installing, this display unit seems not compatible! The resolution of the text seems

weird, enlarged, cut-off and shifted to the right side Text_res1.jpg Text_res2.jpg.

As i am lack of technical information regarding the screen resolution, i am lost here. I assume this is a resolution problem with the new display unit.

Any information, help or solution to this problem is greatly appreciated.

Regards

David

Any information on this? I just saw it in the release notes for 5.03.11.5029, I added it to my project but I can't figure out how to do anything with it right now.. but information on the hardware would be nice.

Hello

Want to drive a D1FB Parker proportional valve withMC2 controler... Would like to know difference between PWM and so called COUT output (also said current mode and closed loop) both have to drive 24v coil. It seems they are both Pwm? BTW cannot find recommanded valve dither frequency.

Thanks for your help

We are looking to use Iqan MC43FS units in an Atex application mounted within EXD explosion proof enclosures but I am trying to find out any relevant information regarding passing the CANbus cabling through the Hazardous area and out to an MC41FS and an MD4-10 mounted in a safe zone. Can anyone provide me with any relevant information on this or has anyone used CAN to optical devices with Master to Master Communication bus in a safety application?

We have 2 machines with identical control systems which consists of x2 MC41's and a MD4-7 (programmed in IqanDesign 5.01)  and have come across some timing issues on these systems.

1st issue is with the startup siren:

We have a siren connected to an output on one of the MC41's. When the machine is switched on it should give 2 short consecutive "honks" and then stop. (This function works with a "blinking" method using "internal digital" channel, where when activated it should honk for 333ms and then off for 333ms and then honk again for 333ms and all this happens within 1 sec with another internal digital that blocks the "blink" function when 1sec has been reached and all this seems to work as intended in  a simulation) but in reality, sometimes it takes even longer than 2 seconds to stop the siren which results in 4-5 honks when switching the machine on (this timing issue is very irregular and will work correctly say 1/10 times of switching the machine off and on). Also this function does not transmit anything over CAN which might have causes a delay somewhere but this logic runs locally on the MC41 that activates the siren, so I don't see why this function should not work as intended.

2nd issue is with recording working hours with a timer function:

I am using a normal timer channel that is set to "hours" to record and display the working hours of these machines, but I have realized that it is counting way too fast and I cannot see why.

I am sure I am just missing some minor detail here to resolve this... But I have spend too much time already just trying to figure out this silly little startup siren timing issue, so this is why I have finally resorted to asking for answers on this forum.

Has anyone had any luck using 4-20ma sensors to a VIN using a 250 ohm resistor to convert the signal 1 to 5 volts?

It seems to me that this is a good option since most IQAN modules (except MC4X series) don't have current loop inputs, but I haven't tried this yet. Obviously using a low tolerance resistor would help, but would doing this take any of the benefit away of using a 4-20ma signal in the first place?

What's the current consumption on the DIN and VIN on the XC21/22/23 modules? We are looing at connecting a joystick with some digital switches that can only take a max of 2mA through the circuit, will the module consume more than 2mA on these inputs?
