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?

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

Does Ixxat simplyCAN USB-CAN adapater should work with IQAN system?

Samuel Pittet 2 weeks ago 0

Hi,

I'm currently shopping for a USB-CAN adapter.

Looking at this thread : https://forum.iqan.se/knowledge-bases/2/articles/231-usb-to-can-interfaces , I went to Ixxat website because I used it in the past with IQAN system and it was working really fine. 

I know I could go with the regular "USB-to-CAN V2 compact" (https://www.hms-networks.com/p/1-01-0281-11001-ixxat-usb-to-can-v2-compact), but I came across the "simplyCAN" which is around half the price : 
https://www.hms-networks.com/p/1-01-0001-12001-ixxat-simplycan

Does anybody tried the Ixxat simplyCAN and confirmed it works OK with a IQAN system?

Have a good day!

Sam

MC2 constant red status LED

Adrien Léauté 1 month ago in Master modules / MC2 updated by Gustav Widén (System support) 3 weeks ago 1

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 months ago in Master modules / MC4x updated 1 month 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!
