Menu: Machine Lube

    The new MACHINE LUBE tab has new controls and features:

    The machine lube setup is control from the CNCProcessor.cfg file in the c:\cnc\config folder.

    New Features in Machine Lube Description
    Use Pulse or Constant Output

    This indicator shows how CNC Processor is set to handle the output point for the machine lube. The output can be toggled on and off (pulse) or switched on for the entire period of lube (constant).

    This value is controlled in the Machine Lube section of the CNCProcessor.cfg file:

    [Machine Lube]
    Pulse Machine Lube Pump= 0

    A value of 1 indicates PULSE. A value of 0 indicates CONSTANT. CONSTANT is the default setting.

    Watch for input to indicate lube complete

    This indicator shows how CNC Processor is set to determine if the machine lube is completed. If an input is examined to determine if the machine lube is complete, then CNC Processor will activate the output for the duration entered in the setup, then begin examining the input indicated in the configuration.

    This value is controlled in the Machine Lube section of the CNCProcessor.cfg file:

    [Machine Lube]
    Watch For Machine Lube Complete Input= 1

    A value of 1 indicates watch for INPUT after the duration. A value of 0 indicates only run for the DURATION.

    See below for how to set the input name.

    CIO Input Name to Watch for Lube Complete

    The input name is set in the CIO section of CNCProcessor.cfg:
    [CIO]
    CIO Name of Input Machine Lube Complete=Input_MachineLubeComplete_End




Menu: Zones / Dies

    The ZONES / DIES menu shows the current Interference Zones and Die value setup that has been transferred to CNC Processor:

Menu: Actions / Commands

    The ACTIONS / COMMANS menu now shows buttons that will allow for actions and commands to be sent to CNC Processor:

    Cncbender cncprocessor actionscommands.jpg

    New Features in Actions / Commands Description
    Show CIO Setup

    This new button sends a command to CNC Processor requesting a report of the current CIO name setup. Use this to confirm that the CIO names are setup in CNCProcessor.cfg properly.




Check.jpg Production Cycle Time Value

The "Complete Cycle Time" is changed to "Production Cycle Time" and now provides the overall time from part to part.




Check.jpg New General Dynamic Option - PD Set Pressure

If this option is enabled, then the PD Set Pressure Output Points are enabled using the new SetPDPressureOutputPoints command.
