Any technical reason for using both +BATT pins on MC43?

Kevin 3 years ago in Master modules / MC4x updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 1

We have specified an MC43 over the lesser modules in the range because of the additional inputs we need to monitor in the controller. We are not using any outputs on the module therefore current draw is minimal.

Is the only reason there is a second power supply pin (+BATT) to drive the additional outputs that can be configured on the MC43? Because we are not using any outputs (therefore current draw is hardly anything) can we connect only one of the +BATT pin to the supply, is there any technical reason why this cannot be done? I don't have a module to hand but I assume they are internally connected? is there a current limit on the module outputs if we only connect one pin?

I have had a look through the manual, the diagram on page 58 suggests we need to connect both pins on MC43 module only.

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.

Connecting LST to MD4-5 or MC42?

Deanne 3 years ago in Levers updated by andyr 3 years ago 1

The setup we are working with has a 12V power supply. With our power supply being 12V, we cannot connect our LST to it as the max load is 5Vdc. Is it possible to connect the LST to the MD4-5 or the MC42 we have and get power from that?

Systems near each other with G11

chuck streb 3 years ago in Gateways updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 2

Our product usually will sit next to each other in the field.

How do we ensure we are talking to the correct G11 when logging on?

Answer

The discovered G11's will also show whatever was set as the 'Machine ID' that can be set through IQANrun

I have 4 used MDL2 modules (one with sim port, three without). If you are looking online and can't find them, let me know.

Cable numbers

Marcel 3 years ago in Other 0

We see on fairly regular basis lately that the cables we order are not correct. The numbers on the cables do no correspond with the pin number in the connector.

We use the:

Cable kit MC41 C1

Iqan DTM06-12 A cable MD3/4

Iqan DTM06-12 B cable MD3/4

Hope you can fix this issue and deliver good quality cables in the future. It costs a lot of time wondering why something doesn't work because the wrong cable is connected

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

Reading value of a PWM valve with a PWMIN

Andy Pauly 4 years ago in Master modules / MC4x updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 1

Hello

A stand alone system have 4x PWM proportional valves in 24VAD. I use a MC43. 

I like to ready this PWM value so that my system can give the right amount of oil from the variable pump. 

I like to use the PWMIN.  IN_33 and IN36 are for 5Volt sensors. Can I still use this INputs?? or do I need to use IN-37 and IN_38 because they are the only one rated to 24V. Can I somehow use a resistor so that I can use the 5Volt PWMIN.?? Sorry:  I am not sure even reading you documentation.
