View source for Setup CNC Bender to Switch Pressure to LOW Automatically

[[image:cncbender_logo.jpg|400px]]

This is the most efficient way to allow CNC Bender to automatically switch to LOW PRESSURE AUTOMATICALLY after some time of inactivity.

==Constant Run Processlist Example==

The Constant Run Processlist is good for tasks that should run ever 3/4 of a second.  The process is reserved for non-motion type commands.

This IF block of code was extracted from the "ConstantRun.cncprocesslist" file in the c:\cnc\config\ folder.

<pre>
[if] and, BeyondPowerOnTime=2000, BeyondLastCycleTime=5000, BeyondLastCycleTime=not(6000), output=Output_High_Pressure
  [display]AUTOMATIC HIGH to LOW PRESSURE After 5 Seconds 
  LowPressureOn
[end]
</pre>

In the example above, the LowPressureOn command will run...

* When master motor power has been on for at least 2 seconds
* The high pressure output is ON.
* And the processor has been idle for between 5 and 6 seconds.

The "and" keyword in the [if] statement means that ALL of these conditions in the parameter line must be true.  If they are true, then the LowPressureOn command is called.

==EDITING the Code==

Load the ConstantRun processlist into a text editor, modify the values in the code, then save the changes to the file.

Close and reload CNC Bender, and the new ConstantRun processlist will take effect.
