We've used IQAN modules extensively in our equipment and we've always mounted the modules in an electrical cabinet. We prefer the entire IQAN system to other PLCs that would normally be used in a cabinet, but we could really benefit from an IQAN module that was more industrial style, i.e. that it would have screw terminals that were easy to rearrange, add, remove, etc.

Has anything like this been considered before? Anyone else with this need?

I am trying to read a NTC thermistor with a resistive output ranging from 810 - 76.9 ohms on the MC43. 

In the past we have used a voltage divider circuit to read the sensor value on a VIN channel, but if the MC43 could introduce a bias current to the thermistor then the output voltage could read without the need for a second resistor in the mix. 

I did not seeing any mention of this in the MC43 manual but was wondering if anyone has faced this challenge before. 

Thank you. 

Could you advise if there is a replacement for the 5010001 ?

I have a defective module on my   SMV SC4542 TA5 and I can not find a replcement

could you assist me ?

I am trying to control a valve without over speeding the pump. What would the MR values need to be? Does 100% command at a 100% Max MR value equate to the source voltage, in this case 24VDC? See coil characteristics below. 

Hi all.

I'm looking to obtain a set of id tags. I'm only looking to run 5 modules. Is there a way to just buy a set of singe tags0-7  without having to buy box's of 10 of each that I will never use?

Thanks

Hello,

We are currently working with a MC43, and I had a question regarding the use of PWM out as a control device. I found this post, since it was 4 years old thought I would ask again. We are trying to control a water valve position with one of the PWM out on the MC43, but not getting the expected results. 

The datasheet specifies a leakage current of 2mA. What do you recommend to clean this up and bring it down close to 0?

I am relatively new to the whole IQAN infrastructure and I am wondering why is there such a high leakage current? Is there any benefit to it?

Thanks in advance

Is there a chart comparing controller performances other than just I/O counts such as Memory size/ processor speed.

Specifically I am looking to decide what is the next platform we are going to use.  I am looking for a Non display master with large number of Can interface.  So MC43 comes to mind but in thread I read it does not seem to be as powerful as the MD4 display series.

Hello, we have a multi-master system on a prototype consisting of a MC41FS and a MD4 on a prototype. We just we discovered a bug in the code for the MD4. We have had problems before with updating the code remotely (The system reports a Application not loaded state). Luckily for us we have a MC41FS and a MD4 at our office and a service trip planed, unfortunately I can't go and I am the only one with a IQAN-license . We where wondering if we can load the new code into the MD4 and replace the one on the prototype? or will this cause

some kind of master mismatch error? is it better to program both masters

and replace the whole multi-master system? Or will it simply not work?
