Check.jpg NEW - Multitask Process List RESET Feature

CNC Bender now includes the capability of starting multi-tasking process lists in either RESET or CONTINUE mode.

RESET is the new default if no parameter is supplied.

An example for starting a secondary processes is shown here. The new RESET parameter is at the end of the line following the ENABLE command:

[SECONDARY_PROCLIST] button_chuckclose, enable, reset


This new feature allows CNC Bender to always reset secondary process lists from the beginning.

The RESET command solves issues that may crop up when starting a secondary process inadvertently in the middle of the list. For example, if the process list is running in CONTINUE mode (the old default), then the process could accidentally automatically close the chuck at the beginning of a new cycle.




Check.jpg NEW - Internal Binary Register I/O Feature

CNC Bender uses Internal Binary Registers to simulate input or output modules

Internal Binary Registers can treat the same point in the same module as both OUTPUT and INPUT at the same time in the same module. (This is not possible in CIO objects linked to physical modules.)

An example for starting a secondary processes is shown here. The new RESET parameter is at the end of the line following the ENABLE command:

Check.jpg REPAIR - Motion Recovery Logic

Motion recovery allows a user to step into the safety scanner during the middle of a motion command, stop all motion, then allow CNC Bender to finish the motion automatically after cycle start is pressed.

The motion recovery logic was adjusted so that:

  1. It will run only for COMDEF commands that actually have axis motion logic in them. (Many commands handle only inputs or outputs.
  2. It will run in secondary process lists only if the list is running when SAFE MODE CYCLE HOLD was activated. Secondary processes that are not running need to have no recovery motion applied to them.
