Electronic control made easy Software-based systems for efficient machines

Electronic control made easy Efficiency in focus – throughout the entire machine life cycle The flexible functions available within the IQAN system allow sophisticated applications to be programmed and optimized very quickly, enabling huge savings on development time – and cost. The IQAN software tools cover all phases of a machine’s life cycle, from development through production to after sales. The state-of-the-art IQAN system is a unique, totally electronic approach that replaces mechanical and electromechanical systems for controlling and monitoring hydraulics in mobile machines. With Parker’s...

u Advanced diagnostics The IQAN control units have an advanced built-in diagnostics system that will help to minimize down-time in the case of failure in the field. Problems can be located either by the default system diagnostics delivered with the standard product, or by customer designed diagnostics functionality. No programming skills required IQAN is user-programmable via an advanced, highly intuitive graphic design tool, which dramatically simplifies development. Simulation of the control system can be carried out in parallel with the programming of machine functions. Easy installation The...

Intelligent software – the way ahead 40 years of motion control experience – ready to plug and play Parker’s experience in hydraulic motion control is second to none, with over forty years of experience in close collaboration with customers world-wide. What started with basic ergonomic demands from machine operators has developed into highly advanced electro-hydraulic machine control knowledge, made accessible to everyone in the IQAN product range. An IQAN system will not only offer shorter development time for the machine manufacturer, but also maximum functionality and up-time for the machine...

u Long-life precision controls At Parker, we know what reliability means for profitability. All IQAN control units are thoroughly tested and built to withstand many years of use and abuse in the toughest environments imaginable, while maintaining the precision needed for maximum productivity. u Safety All IQAN modules are designed with the functional safety requirements of mobile machines in mind. Where there is a need to prove the safety integrity of each implemented safety function; the safety controller IQAN-MC3 can be used. It is designed in accordance with IEC 61508, and can be used to implement...

Easier development... Cut time-to-market by several months The product development process With conventional programming from scratch The IQAN software studios cover all phases of a machine’s life cycle, from development through production to after sales. The main philosophy behind the IQAN Software Studios is that the OEM, with their extensive knowledge of their machine’s life cycle, should be able to create software that makes their product perform at top level, easy to produce and giving the end user maximum up-time. All this can be achieved without any previous programming experience – anyone...

Market launch Market launch Virtual simulation speeds up development IQANsimulate is a simulation tool, which simplifies function testing and validation, reducing development time. It simulates all of the hardware modules in an IQAN application. Software simulation is a safer way to test new applications than on an actual machine. Simulation of all input values in your application is easy using the on-screen sliding bar interface. While simulating inputs you can simultaneously measure the resulting output values. Together with module and I/O error simulation you will be able to perform machine...

...easier production... Set-up and customise in minutes – not days! With IQANscript you create scripts using simple drag and drop operations. Each script is a sequence of actions that can be executed in IQANrun. A wide range of script actions are available to build scripts for different purposes. Using flow control actions such as conditions and loops you can control how the script is executed. With the different measure and log actions, information can be retrieved from the master units to be analyzed by the script or displayed to the user. Setting actions provide full control of the master...

...and easier maintenance Cutting down-time with intelligent diagnostics systems Today, service technicians have a large number of tools and documents to keep track of. Sometimes, it is hard for them to find the right information and to be sure they use the correct version of a software or document. The customize feature in IQAN Productive Studio was developed to solve this problem. It allows you to collect all machine software and information in one user interface and to distribute it to your users quickly and easily via the web. Machine downtime is minimised since the service technicaian have...
