NEW: Configuration Reload
This feature is added to the Utility menu. It allows for reloading the CNC Bender configuration without closing and reopening the CNC Bender software.
There are circumstances where changes to values in low-level configurations may normally need a reboot of the CNC Bender software. Examples are changes to the Axis Configuration, Module configuration, and Processlist configration. This new feature allows operators to reload the configuration without actually rebooting CNC Bender.
NEW: Automatic Shutdown
A new Automatic Shutdown process is initiated when a loss of TCP/IP connection to any top hat module around the bender is disocvered. This allows for a smoother bender shutdown process.
1 - Press the E-stop.
2 - Power down the bender.
3 - CNC Bender will sense a loss of TCP/IP communication and propose a shutdown in 15 seconds. This shutdown can be overridden by the operator.
4 - The CNC Bender UPS (inside the operator station) will initiate Windows shutdown after 60 seconds of loss of power. (This has been verified for both Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
5 - The CNC Bender UPS will power down 90 seconds after Windows was shutdown.
Note: This feature is in replacement to the "Auto Heal" feature introduced in version 10.0.6.0 of CNC Bender.
