View source for PreCommand for Load and Start

This [[Dynamic Option]] allows operators to enable a custom [[COMDEF]] (Command Definition) before either the [[Load Position]] or the [[Start Position]] moves in the [[Process List]] for bending.  Use this feature to enable/disable [[actuators]] just before either of these moves occur in the [[Process List]].

===User-Definable and therefore Flexible===
Because these reference general [[COMDEF]] files ('''PreCommand_LoadPosition''' and '''PreCommand_StartPosition''') the motion or action that these PreCommands perform can be adjusted to fit the application by anyone familiar with using the [[COMDEF.exe]] and [[CIO.exe]] programs.

For example, it would take only a few minutes to reconfigure CNC Bender to actuate several new outputs, then watch for any number of inputs in either of these [[COMDEF]] commands.  '''''No new programming from Advanced Tubular is required to adjust these commands.'''''

Enable this option to insert the PreCommand_LoadPosition COMDEF in the process list immediately before the Feed axis move to Load position command is issued in the list.

The PreCommand_LoadPosition command can be modified to activate/deactivate custom actuators immediately before the carriage is moved to the Load position.
