v12-20130724 Back to CNC Bender Software Updates

See CNC Bender Customer Service Page for an update.

NEW: Press Auto or Manual command then CYCLE START in CYCLE HOLD

This new feature allows an operator to press AUTO mode or any manual mode button when in CYCLE HOLD, then pres CYCLE START and activate the command. This feature is good for benders that use palm buttons to keep the bender in cycle hold (for example, the Allen Bradley 800Z Zero Force Touch Buttons shown here). If AUTO mode is pressed while the bender is in CYCLE HOLD, then a large message will display for a few seconds asking for the operator to press CYCLE START.

NEW: PDA Forward Now Stops During Cycle Hold Button Press

The PDA motion in a bend stops moving forward if the CYCLE HOLD button is pressed. (It would stop when the safety mat was stepped on - but not when the CYCLE HOLD button was pressed.)

Other Changes

Manual button presses when in CYCLE HOLD mode no longer clear the command with the "Use CYCLE START" message. The AUTO button no longer disables when in CYCLE HOLD. As with the previous version, COMDEFS can ignore CYCLE HOLD. For example, the Clamp and PD open commands can programmed to ignore the CYCLE HOLD state - and open even in CYCLE HOLD.
