Is there any reliability data for these modules (non failsafe versions)? We are using modules for control system functions and to see if they comply with basic performance levels (b). Is there any documents that are available showing MTTF of these modules that can assist with calculations?

I see the manual includes this:

IQAN-MC4x performance only runs a sub-set of the MC4xFS functions for internal diagnostics. Because of reduced diagnostics, DC and thus SFF and PFHd is not available for these modules.

But we were able to get reliability data for XC2X range at one stage even though this was not a safety controller, is this likely to be possible with the MC4X?

On the XC4x serie there are multiple Vref+ and Vref- and on both C1 and C2 

Are these interaly connected in the module? 

Or are they seperate from eachother and serve only dedicated Vin's?

I'm using the expansion module XC43 to control valves, usually, I use Cout to control proportional valves but I run out of current output pins " I have 13 valves" I'm wondering if I can use PWM OUT HS to control D1FBE01HC0NJJ3 " Proportional directional valves in general " also L90LS, P70? Because it seems for me that PWM is only to control pulsar valves that have some frequency working value.  

I'm being asked to mount modules external to the main enclosure, XC41's to be exact. So there will be an enclosure to mount the MD4 to but everything else will be mounting on the rock crushing machine. The power and ground for the modules will come from within the main panel and be fuse protected. The issue I'm having is trying to solve the ground and power that is supplied to the DIN's and DOUT's. Is there a way to cleanly create a ground line and power line to run along the machine and tie into for each necessary I/O? I was thinking of a isolated buss bar, or perhaps a two to one butt splice. Any ideas will help.

Tjena.

Är det möjligt att koppla en G11 med Iqansynk mot en MC41, har en MC41 som "standalone" i en maskin och vill redigera vissa parametrar för att se resultatet "live".
Om ja: vart ska den in? (stift)

Om nej: synd...

Hi,

I'm relatively new to the IQAN system. I'm currently using the MC43. Is it possible to have high side digital signalling outputs? I'm interested in controlling some industrial devices that accept 24V digital inputs. From what I understand, most of the digital outputs have some sort of fault detection on loads lower than a few hundred milliamps. The only way around it I found is to use PWM outputs, which are limited and also seem like a bit of a hack.

Would be great to know if this is possible.

Thanks! 

Our usual setup is an MD4 with an XC4X expansion module. But we end up using an MC4X because we need the CANBus available on the master module. It would be nice if the expansion module provided access to additional CANBus the same way it provides access to its IO.

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.
