This is a software/hardware system that allows any AICON TubeInspect measuring center to communicate with Eaton Leonard benders that use the legacy EL current loop protocol (Velog, EL-2000, Premier, and Lightspeed).



==How It Works==

This new version of Benderlink communicates with a device attached to your bender called the EL DATA SERVER module. This module is an industrial box that contains a small computer that is designed to perform direct communications through current loop electronics with Eaton Leonard benders. Optionally, we can include wireless electronics that allows you to communicate with any of these benders using standard WiFi technology.  '''(This is the only WiFi technology available for legacy Eaton Leonard controls.)''' [[image:Wifi_logo.jpg]]


== OFFLINE EDITING ==


Benderlink for EL allows operators to edit ALL the Eaton Leonard data transferred to Velog, EL-2000, and Premier controls. Hundreds of EL values have been identified and are now completely editable inside the Edit EL Data window.

A very easy-to-use USER INTERFACE has been designed to allow operators to easily change values for Eaton Leonard benders very quickly. Examine the user interface on the right, and you will see how simple the Eaton Leonard value structure has been made.  The box on the left allows for easy access to all SETUP and EXTENDED SETUP values.  The values have been grouped into logical groups for easier access.

The [[YBC]] grids on the right are separated the YBC data into four groups: Axis Data, Velocity Data, Function Data, and Stop and Last Data.  Editing the data is very fast because moving to the correct variable is very fast.
