What is It?

The CNCProcessor.cfg file exists in the c:\cnc\config folder. It contains setup information for the CNC Processor.

Sections

Each of the sections in the CNCProcessor.cfg is set apart with values in square brackets like this:

[Machine Lube]

Property Values

Each of the sections can contain multiple property values like this:

Machine Lube Duration=


Example Configuration Setup

This is an example configuration setup:

[Machine Lube]
Machine Lube Duration=5000
Lube Machine At Bend Count=100
Pulse Machine Lube Pump=1
Watch For Machine Lube Complete Input=0

[CIO]
CIO Name Of Input Clamp Die Close=Input_ClampIsClosed_End
CIO Name Of Input Pressure Die Home=Input_PressureDieIsHome_End

Note that remarks may be added to the file with lines preceded by double forward slashes.

// How long does the machine loop output enable?



Editing the CNCProcessor.cfg File

The CNC Processor configuration file contains the values necessary to adjust the machine lube settings.

Where to find it in CNC Bender

The configuration is displayed in an editor in the Low Level menu, CNC Processor CFG tab.

If you edit the values in this editor, be sure to keep the equals signs in the setup, and be careful to enter valid values. For example, for duration values, enter only whole numbers (no text).

Then save the data to disk in order to store the changes made.

Where to find it on the Hard Disk

The file is available in the c:\cnc\config folder in the file "CNCProcessor.cfg". A text editor can be used to change the file. Only change the file this way when CNC Bender is closed.
