Diagnostic interfaces
IQAN software includes many tools for tuning, measuring, accessing logs and
otherwise checking the performance or troubleshooting your control system.
CAN diagnostics connection
One of the 4 CAN buses of the IQAN-MC3 may be dedicated for diagnostics.
Reserving a bus for diagnostics ensures that signals are not interrupted by other bus
traffic. A high-speed CAN interface is needed to use this feature. Contact Parker for
information about supported CAN interfaces.
A termination resistor is usually required at the CAN interface on the PC. Parker part
number 5030182 or an equivalent 120 ohm resistor may be used. A flying lead cable
may be connected to the IQAN-MC3 to provide a connector interface. The connection
from IQAN-MC3 to diagnostic CAN interface can then be made quite easily. It is
recommended that the diagnostic connector be a sealed, automotive type. When not
being used this connector should be protected from the environment with a cover or
mating blank plug.
The recommended wiring to the IQAN-MC3 connector C1 is shown below.
Connecting for CAN to PC communication.
Bypass application
If the ADDR_L pin is shorted to ADDR_H, (detected when the unit starts/powers up)
the application will not be loaded. This is a special start-up mode that is used for master
units and puts the MC3 in a safe state without starting any application. When this mode
is desired, a jumper is put in place of an ID-Tag.
