Parker IQAN MDM User manual

IQAN MDM
Operation Manual

Purpose
The primary purpose of this document is to inform a user of the IQAN system on the ease
of adjustments of the system. A person can create a much smoother machine control as
well as monitor all aspects of the system. This is accomplished through the IQAN-MDM.
The IQAN MDM is the Master Display Module which is the primary operator interface, but
also is where the memory of the program resides. All Application programs are loaded
through a serial port in the back of the MDM unit. Any computer interface to the system
is accomplished through the MDM.
If program changes are required, a certified TimberPro mechanic may access the program
through the back of the module with the correct cable and a program authorization hardware
key. Also, a new MDM can be sent by the factory with program changes and the module
returned.
The flexibility of the system is the amount of changes a experienced operator can
make right from the screen. The manual will show how this system allows the
operator or mechanic to tune a machine to optimal performance.
The MDM also allows the operator or mechanic to troubleshoot problems with the IQAN
control system. A built in multimeter allows the measurement and also graphing of all the
inputs and outputs of the system.

SUB MENUS
The system consist of five sub menus which allow for settings of the screen, adjusting
machine settings, measuring, and setting operators. The five sub Screens are:
MODE- IQAN Allows for Four different operator settings which are selected in the MODE
screen. This means a Day shift operator can tune a machine with different maximum
speeds and ramps on the outputs for the system. A 2nd Shift operator can be MODE 2
which may be set a little slower our have smoother ramping than the day shift operator.
Mode 4 is often a factory default setting and no changes can be made to this Mode.
INFORMATION- Informs on the Application including serial Number Identification and
comments from the manufacturer. Also, all information on module communication and
status is displayed in the INFORMATION screen. This allows review of each module of
the system to determine if components are on line and enabled.
SETTINGS-The changes on this are for informational configuration for the operator of the
machine. Changes include Light and Contrast adjustment. Language change from the
primary language to the alternate language, such as English to French. Set Volume on
Alarm Buzzer. Set Date and Time of Real Time clock.
MEASURE- The MEASURE menu allows the operator to monitor all inputs or outputs of
the IQAN system. This feature when used is the one of the most powerful aspects for the
machine control system. A malfunction or performance variance can easily be viewed
from the screen. This has several modes including % signal monitoring, millivolt or
milliamp monitoring, or as a rudimentary oscilloscope.
PROPERTIES- The PROPERTIES menu allows the operator to set the adjustable
parameters for inputs or outputs as determined by the manufacturer of the machine. This
allows operator 1 to set the minimum current, maximum current to a valve which can
control minimum flow and maximum flow of a function. The start Ramps and stop ramps
for extending or retracting a cylinder. Ability to set a two slope control on a function for a
creep then high speed control.
With the five submenus the machine can be tuned to meet several different operators
needs. Also, allow for very quick troubleshooting of the system .
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE A PHD DEGREE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE. By following
the commands of this book a operator can become very proficient in the control and
trouble shooting of the machine.

7
MODE MENU
This menu allows for the machine to be set up as four different operators. Normally, the
manufacturer of the machine will allow for the operators and a factory default. The
MODE 1 will allow operator 1 to set the machine up as he wishes in the PROPERTIES
screen and then his settings will be saved. But if another operator has slightly different
preferences with respect to speed, ramps etc.. The second operator adjust settings and
use MODE 2 and all his preference can be saved.
The system also has the ability to copy a MODE over any other MODE, except MODE
four which is afactory default and can not be changed.
The following shows how to change MODE number and also how to copy MODE
settings.

8
CHANGING MODE
Push ESC button to enter sub menus. IF Mode does not appear, press UP/DN button
until MODE screen appears.
Press F1 to select MODE, then press UP/DN to scroll to desired number.
Use Up / Down
for
Desired mode
b
Once MODE number is selected for the correct operator press F1.
NOTE: F1, F2, F3 refer to the commands above them in the LCD screen. The label
display above F1 menu is OK, above F2 is CANCEL, and Above F3 is blank.
If F2 is selected the changes just made will be voided and the original position that was
started will stay.
Once complete, hit ECS button until main display screen appears.
The ESC button will access the sub menus and leave the sub menus once selections are
made.
NOTE: MODE 4 is the manufacturers default setting, if a operator tunes the machine to a
poor performance. The MODE 4 setting can be set and the machine performance
verified with factory settings. If machine performs satisfactorily in MODE 4 then the
operator has tuned their settings to a limiting condition. At this point, either the MODE
PROPERTIES can be reconfigured or MODE 4 needs to be copied over the non adjusted
MODE.

9
COPYING MODES
In copying of the MODE, if the primary operator has set the machine to a optimal
condition in MODE 1, this setting can be copied to MODE 2 and 3. Please note MODE 4
may be factory default and no other MODE will copy over MODE 4.
Once F1 is pushed for OK
then the copying screen will
show. MODE 2 will copy all
of its PROPERTIES over
MODE 1.

10
INFORMATION- Informs on the Application including serial Number Identification and
comments from the manufacturer. Also, all information on module communication and
status is displayed in the INFORMATION screen. This allows review of each module of
the system to determine if components are online and enabled.
Also, under Comment F2, a detailed listing of information from the manufacturer of the
machine is stored here, such as machine serial number and information about the
machine.

MEASURE MENU
MEASURE- The MEASURE menu allows the operator to monitor all inputs or outputs of
the IQAN system. This feature when used is the one of the most powerful aspects for the
machine control system. A malfunction or performance variance can easily be viewed
from the screen. This has several modes including % signal monitoring, millivolt or

A complete list of Inputs and Outputs can be found in the rear of this manual.
Push to scroll until

This is the primary interface to determine the status of a input or output. The importance
of this cannot be stressed enough. If you understand how to Measure the status of
Functions, then the difficulty troubleshooting Machine issues is drastically reduced.
