NEW - Servo Status Grid Now Always Visible on Main Screen
The status of up to 20 servo axes are now displayed at all times in a grid on the top of the screen. |
|
NEW - BIG Messages
For important events, CNC Bender now displays large messages for short periods of time. This lets operators clearly know what the control needs them to do next.
|
|
NEW - Press ENABLE to Jog
ENHANCED - CNC Processor CPU Usage DECREASED 60%
CNC Bender was optimized so that CNC Bender / CNC Processor CPU Usage was dropped by an average of 60% without any degradation in bender performance. The typical CPU usage during - even during bending - is now from 8 to 25%, with periodic spikes to 35%.
This optimization has the benefit of causing CNC Bender user interface to run much more quickly. |
|||||
NEW - KEY Switch to EDIT Feature
NEW - MANDREL LUBE with TIMER in FOUR OPTION LISTS
The new Mandrel Lube With Timer option allows operators to lube the mandrel for a period of milliseconds
|
|
Setup the feature in the low level menu - general dynamic options by naming the secondary process list names:
|
NEW - EMBEDDED TUBE SUPPORT in CNC PROCESSOR
This feature allows CNC Bender's PROCESSOR to control when the tube support is lifted or dropped - and if the drop should be confirmed with an input.
|
|
CHANGES - CNC Processor Configuration File
The following additions have been made to the configuration file:
|
ADD these to the CNCProcessor.cfg file: [Smart Inspect Logging] Enabled=0 Logging Method=TCPIP Filename=c:\cnc\logs\cncprocessor.sil TCPIP Address=192.168.0.190 [Loop] Main Loop Interval=0.100 Background Read Servo Loop Interval=0.100 |
The image on the right is a screen shot of Smart Inspect logging from a CNC Processor session:
|
|
The items on the right can be removed from the configuration file. They are no longer used in CNC Processor. |
REMOVE these from the CNCProcessor.cfg file: [Loop] Power Off Manual Mode Pause=250 Power On Manual Mode Pause=250 Cycle Hold Pause=100 [PRIORITY] Master Loop Priority=10000 |
NEW - Axis Friendly EOT
CNC Processor can check for EOT (end of travel) of an axis before it arrives at the true FAULT EOT. This gives the axis a chance to stop jogging before it arrives at a FAULT position or emergency switch.
The following additions have been made to the AXIS configuration file:
|
Example of what to add in each AXIS in the main.axislist file. The value shown here are typical of the FEED axis: Enable EOT=1 Low EOT=0 High EOT=3160 |
The image on the right is a screen shot of Smart Inspect logging from a CNC Processor session:
|
|
The items on the right can be removed from the configuration file. They are no longer used in CNC Processor. |
REMOVE these from the CNCProcessor.cfg file: [Loop] Power Off Manual Mode Pause=250 Power On Manual Mode Pause=250 Cycle Hold Pause=100 [PRIORITY] Master Loop Priority=10000 |
