Unlock the Power of Adjustable Memorizing Channels in IQAN® Design

Adjustable memorizing channels in IQAN® Design by Parker Hannifin streamline parameter management by temporarily storing values and auto-resetting based on triggers like menu closure or new CAN inputs, preventing common errors in heavy equipment controls.

What are Memorizing Channels?

These channels act like smart memory holders for parameters—think digital, state, integer, or function types. You set a value, such as resetting an encoder, adjust it in runtime via an adjust group, then exit; the channel pulses the command and snaps back to “run” automatically, so operators never leave systems stuck. Primarily, OEMs can use adjustable memorizing channels to boost reliability without adding extra steps for the user.

Real-World Example: Encoder Zeroing

Picture zeroing drill encoders before run mode—you pulse “reset” once, then it must return to tracking.​ A standard digital parameter risks forgetting to toggle back, locking at zero; a memorizing channel fixes this by self-resetting on menu exit. We’ve implemented this in curb tender programs, making setups foolproof for field techs.

In the video above, we looked at the example of a custom RGB switch panel where operators have the ability to incrementally adjust the push button colors. Interested to try it out at ConExpo 2026? We will have these on display at our booth, S80235, on the second floor of the South Hall. Come visit us!
