The Auto Lube feature automatically pulses an output for a designated number of seconds to lube the machine. The event is triggered after a pre-configured number of bends in the CNCProcessor.cfg file is reached.

Processor Tab: Machine Lube

The PROCESSOR diagnostic tab is designed to display this low level values present in CNC Processor:

  1. Machine Lube Active
  2. Bend Count Since Last Machine Lube
  3. Lube Machine At Bend Count
  4. Minimum Lube Duration (seconds)
  5. Use Pulse or Constant Output
  6. Watch for Input to indicate lube complete
  7. CIO Out Name for Machine Lube
  8. CIO Input Name to Watch for Lube Complete



Name About
Machine Lube Active This value indicates if the machine lube event is currently active

Value 2 - Machine Lube Active

This is an indicator of the state of the Auto Lube. If Auto Lube is on and pulsing, then this indicator shows "Active" and switches to a color of green. This value is read-only - which means it cannot be configured in any configuration file.

Value 3 - Bend Count Since Last Machine Lube

This value indicates the accumulated bend count since the last machine lube. This value is stored in the CNCProcessorBendCountSinceLastLube.cfg file in the c:\cnc\config folder. This file can be edited using a text editor.

Value 4 - Lube Machine At Bend Count

This value indicates at what bend count the Auto Lube process will begin. When the Auto Lube process begins, the "Bend Count Since Last Machine Lube" value will reset to zero and start accumulating bends again. This value can be set by editing the CNCProcessor.cfg file found in the c:\cnc\config folder.

Value 5 - Machine Lube Duration (milliseconds)

This value indicates how long the Auto Lube feature will pulse. This value can be set by editing the CNCProcessor.cfg file found in the c:\cnc\config folder. </ul>
