MD4 user inputs

Richard 10 years ago in Master modules / MD4 updated 8 years ago 2
I want to use multiple MD4 units on a new project but the problem is in our application the user may be wearing gloves so I am not sure a touch screen is useful. My first idea was to put a CAN open tactile button pad by the side of the MD4 unit but have come up with a blank.
I have tried - Grayhill - Graf-Syteco and powerkey so far who do have keypads but they do not have a size or shape currently in production that fits nicely alongside the MD4 (7").
Does anyone have any ideas?

usb Ethernet adapter for MD4

Zach 10 years ago in Master modules / MD4 updated by Mitch Houle 6 years ago 7
I have dealers and techs all over the world who connect with USB to the machines with the IQAN system.
Could I add a USB port and a USB to Ethernet adapter so they can continue connecting with USB?

Does anyone have a better workaround?

Hello,
Last monday, we did MD4 temperature test. MD4 waited at -33°C for 4 hours in a closed enviroment. After 4 hours, Power on MD4 7" touch panel and We tested digital in, digital out, canbus channel, touch screen. Resault we are fine. We didnt have a problem. My hand just froze when testing :)

Analog Input - Temperature Sensor

Metalfor 10 years ago in Master modules / MD4 updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago 3
Hello I'm new here in the forum and I'm already gathering information to take new designs decisions.
The question is if any of you have used a temperature sensor in the analog input of a MD4-7? Was it PTC or NTC? Because in pdf only talks about connect a PTC sensor with a pull-up resistor. Kind regards. Diego.

IP camera with external 12/24VDC supply.

Niklas 10 years ago in Master modules 0
Hi,

Do anyone have a good suggestion of a IP camera for MD4 that have external 12 or 24VDC power supply? Most of the cameras I've seen only have POE and a POE injector just ad up a lot of cost.
Of course rugged design for mobile application would also be a benefit.

Regards / Niklas

MC2 constant red status LED

Adrien Léauté 3 days ago in Master modules / MC2 0

Hello,

got a constant red LED on the status light from a MC2 and "no contact" and IQAN MD3 screen

that constant light is not explain in the book, i would guess an internal crash, could you confirm?

Is MC2 module replacable by MC2-M14 ? any software update needed ?

Thanks in advance

MC41 - M18-4 Barrel Speed sensor

Jose Solorio 2 weeks ago in Master modules / MC4x updated 2 weeks ago 3

Hi,

I have an MC41 module and I want to pick up the signal from a speed sensor M18-4VPFF200-Q8.

I want to measure the speed on the coupling between a motor and a torquemeter. I have a reflective sticker on the coupling, and I’m using this sensor to pick up the speed. However, when I connect the sensor, I’m reading zero on the MC41. I can see the lights on the sensor changing, which indicates the sensor is generating pulses, but the MC41 isn’t registering them.

Here’s how I connected the sensor:
Sensor pin 1 (brown): 12V
Sensor pin 2 (white): GND
Sensor pin 3 (blue): C1:12 on the MC41
Sensor pin 4 (black): C1:11 on the MC41

The max speed I want to measure on the coupling is 200RPM. I calculated the max frequency as:

Thus I calculated my Max Frequency (Hz) = (Max RPM×Pulses per Revolution)/60 = (200*1)/60 = 3.33 ~ 3 Hz

Do you have any input on whether the issue might be software or hardware related?

Thanks!

Master / Expansion Different -Batt

Kevin 2 weeks ago in Master modules / MC4x 0

We have a requirement to have multiple XC43 modules remotely to the master MC43FS module. Its likely they will all be powered from separate power supplies and they wont supply the same 0V for batt -ve.

Is this likely to be a problem in terms of interference etc?

Stylus for MD5

Kevin 1 month ago in Master modules / MD5 updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 1 month ago 1

Our customer has requested a stylus for interacting with the MD5 we have supplied. Instruction manual states a passive stylus for the MD5, has anyone got any recommendations or experience as to what works best?
