I am having issues with the G11 v1.09 firmware.   Today I tried using my android phone (Pixel 3) I go to update a MD3 with a IQAN v4.07 program file.  Something I have done several times with out issue.  Right away the process files and the G11 blinks a 4,1 RED,Orange error code.  After some troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the G11 firmware.

Luckly I have a few G11 modems in stock as I sometime supply them to our customer with their machine.  The ones in stock came with firmware v1.07.  Some time ago IQANsync was updated and included v1.08.  Using either v1.07 or v1.08 I have had no issues with the G11 modem.  However if I update the G11 to v1.09 it will keep me from using it.

Any ideas on what is going on.  Is it possible to flash it back with v1.08 or v1.07 firmware?

Not sure if HS PWM output circuit support the open load detection, we used pin 45 on MC41, any current measurement capability on this port. If yes, how that can be monitored from the IQan software.

Thanks 

We are using a G11 modem connected to an MD4.  We are getting  NO CONTACT error with the unit.  

However, when connecting to the unit with my phone using IQANsync it works fine and I can download logs from the MD4, etc even though it still shows NO CONTACT in the status.

Hello Is there a way to use a GS60 speed sensor with the MD4? I have not tried it yet but would really prefer to use a three wire sensor then an encoder. 

What sort of symptoms might I expect with an expansion module failure?

Will D-outs become intermittent? 

would anything else become sporadic?

Are the modules smart enough to realize something is wrong?

Say the MD4 screen is broken or cracked, would the I/O and CAN messages still work on the module, assuming no damage to the board in the enclosure?

I am working on the control system using MC43. Please let me know urgently whether I can use MC43 ‘PWM out HS+LS’ or ‘PWM out HS’ to control Danfoss PVES or PWEM proportional solenoids 

From MC43 instruction book:

From Danfoss solenoid specifications

Hello Team,

I've been working with potentiometers and parker sensors (pressure and temperature) before without any problems, but now i need to use a voltage output (0-5V) from an amplifier as a voltage input on my MC2. The amplifier is connected to a sensor and have a standard +- output. I've tried to connect + to one of the VIN-x and neg to -VREF (or to the common terminal on the power supply). Tried different combinations but the measurement mode on the MC2 shows zero input all the time. Multimeter measurements confirm that the amplifier output around 1V. Logically don't see why it should now work, but maybe you can advise how 3rd party sensors (amplifiers) are connected to parker systems? Thank you!

If an application have a MD4 and MC4X and they are connected as multi-master. How does the startup looks like? Will the MC4X start communicate with peripherals as soon its booted or does it wait until MD4 is booted?

Regarding th CM0504 module. What is the time to trip for the 25A current limit? If a motor is powered and spikes above 25A, will cause the module to fault? And will it recover?
