CNC Bender v11-20091123

Type of Upgrade: FLEXIBILITY The changes in this version are additions to CNC Bender for better editing and reporting.

NEW- Editor for High Speed Constant Run Processlist

The new editor in Low Level allows you to edit the new High Speed Constant Run Processlist.

REPAIR- Time-Out Value for Bend Arm Return

The bend arm return timeout value in the PREBEND section of the processlist was accidentally set to the Run Buttons timeout in the previous version. This has been resolved so that the axis timeout value is used.

REPAIR - Feed Move into Interference Zones for AFTER Check for PD (Pressure Die) HOME

CNC Bender now properly checks for the PD HOME switch activated before ATTEMPTING to move the FEED axis into the interference zone Previous versions could skip the wait for the PD motion to complete, then give a collision error by not waiting for the PD to move home. This prevents the following type of error:

11/17/2009 2:50:19 PM Collision - The Pressure Die Is Not Home And Feed Would Have Penetrated the Pressure Die Interference Zone, CIO Checked: Input_PressureDieIsHome_End

ENHANCE - AllDiesToHome Command and AllDiesToHomeWithoutPDA Commands

Both of these commands can now be named in the General Dynamic Option List in Low Level. Automated logic has been installed to work like this:

When returning a PDA motion-controlled axis... When using a FOLLOWER with NO prox... ...then AllDiesToHomeWithoutPDA is called immediately after in order to insure that the pressure die and clamp dies are home before continuing. When returning a PDA directional valve actuator... When returning a FOLLOWR with a prox switch... ...then AllDiesToHome is called to be sure the pressure die, clamp die, and Pressure Die Assist die are home before continuing.
