NEW GT TELEMATICS MODULE

mgoutier 6 years ago 0

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.

MC43 FS Error Code When DIN Connected

Kevin 6 years ago in Master modules / MC4x updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 years ago 2

We have an application which uses MC43FS module. We get an error code showing 4 x red, 2 x amber, 1 x amber, 1 x amber, 4 x amber. I have isolated the fault to one wire which is causing this error code, C1:10. The manual shows this as VIN / DIN, but we have found when connecting 24V to this pin once the module is booted, all is fine, no error code is generated. If we connect 24V to this pin and power the module on we get the error code flash up, the module shuts down, no communication is possible.


I have used a different MC43 to test and same error is generated. I have also tested by only connecting power, address tag and C1:10 and I still get the same error with the scenarios listed above. Is this a fault or is there something we are doing wrong (perhaps the allocation of pins)? Its almost as if the pin should only be a VIN and only accept 5VDC max, or perhaps its a pull up instead of pull down, is this what the error code is stating? We are unable to tell what the detailed error code is, only 'stopped critical' is listed. I will send across the video file of the error flash.

MD4 Low Side Outputs

Jimmy 6 years ago in Master modules / MD4 0

I have multiple MD4-7 low side output permanently latching off when it is driving a relay after a month or 2. Over the course of 2 years this seems to only be happening on the last few units I received, but not on any of the older ones. The current maximum on the output is 300ma and the relay I'm driving has a maximum inrush of 350ma for less than 1us, and it has a built in surge protection suppressor diode... I would normally say ugh I should have been more careful but I have quite a bit of units with all the same relays driving off of the same outputs without problems. has there been any component changes in the past couple months to these units? Anyone else have any thoughts on what might be happening?

XC23 Can Error Flash Disabling Module?

Kevin 6 years ago in Expansion modules updated by Ulrik Zakariasson (Software development) 6 years ago 8

We have a system with MD4 connected by master bus to MC3. We have a XC23 connected to the MC3 via expansion on different bus to master.


On ignition switch on the system appears fine and all outputs and inputs into XC23 are OK, during engine start there appears to be a dip in voltage which causes the XC23 module to show 3 red, 1 amber LED flash (can error / timeout). When we get this error flash, IQAN run says system health is OK under the XC23 and MC3 modules and IQAN design shows the outputs on XC23 going true and false as expected. XC23 module outputs however are non functional, the module is in error state and refusing to operate outputs whilst the LED flash sequence above is active.


There are no logs in the MC3 for failed communication with XC23.


Are there any recommendations for how to resolve this? Is this normal behaviour for a dip in voltage on XC23? All other modules appear to be unaffected by voltage dip, its almost as if XC23 does not recover and outputs are non functional even though IQAN design thinks they are? Would pulsing 'enable' property just after engine start re-enable the module in event of this error flash?


Running IQAN Design 4.07 with machine voltage 24V dipping to around 10/12V on startup.

MC2 cout output PWM,

flipper80 6 years ago updated by Tim Reen 5 years ago 13

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

Safe mode! Application not loaded

Theleo De Bruyn 6 years ago in Master modules / MD4 updated 3 years ago 6

Hi there!


I've got a small problem and i had this before but it went away every time but i dont know how to fix my problem


if i start up my MD4-5 it shows our own startup screen (this is good) and then, after the startup, it shows an error message:

Image 1172

and it stays in this screen.


I've connected the Bat+ to 24V bat- to the ground and the RTC to the 24V with a 1.5K resistor.


is there any reason why this could happen?


Theleo De Bruyn

Answer

Hello, Please check if you have connected the Adress tag?

If you start-up IQAN MD4 display's without Adress tag , it will start up in safe mode

MC41 question

RichardKow 6 years ago in Master modules / MC4x updated 6 years ago 3

Hi there,

I have been working on the project that would involve MC41 master. Application that I have been working requires 8 digital outputs. MC41 has got 4 DOUTs and 2 bidirectional COUTs (current out). In the past I used XA2 that allowed to use these COUTs for DOUTs. It was clearly shown on electrical schematic. When I have checked electrical schematic for MC41 it did not show this option. Can I use these COUTs for additional DOUTs that I require or what can be suggested to achieve my requirement. I would like to add that I am rather 'mechanical' guy and have some problems with electronics. Have been working with IQAN since 2007.

Thanks in advance

MC43 Errors in logs after key off

Larri 6 years ago in Master modules / MC4x updated 6 years ago 3

We noticed that we are getting the errors below in the MC43 log occasionally and it appears to get logged when turning machine off.  Machine runs fine and no errors appear during running.  I verified that the log has no errors during running, but when I key off and then key on and check MC43 log, the errors below are logged in MC43 log.

 

Any ideas as to why these errors would get logged on key off intermittently?  Any suggestions as to resolve this?

Bus Length

Richard Staite 6 years ago in Other updated by techsupport@posi-plus com 6 years ago 4

I have an application that requires a total bus length of approx 150 Mtrs - The Instructioin book referred to in another post says the max length "between nodes" is 100 mtrs - So If I put an additional node to act as a booster - is that ok?

Any suggestion for wireless ICP canbus gateway?

David Dufour 6 years ago in Other 0

Hi everyone,


There is someone who find a product able to communicate wireless between two master module (MC4x and a MD4) ?


I tried few without a good success in the past. They lost communication, the latency is too high and no one was able to do an update of the program.


So, I'm looking for a recommendation if there is any product able to replace a wire for a 200' distance.


Thanks you all!
