REVISION Information

10-20070707, July 2, 2007


NEW: LiteControl GUI Update

The LiteControl now features the same updated GUI as the ProControl. It also requires the the higher screen resolution of 1024 x 768. (The older 800 x 600 is too low for the new software.)




NEW: Splash / Version Screen Shows License Type

CNC Bender can use one of four license models:

During startup or display of the version screen, the license type is displayed. For example, this shows the OFFLINE license type is running:




ENHANCED: Hardware Key Handling

There are new rules requiring hardware key setup for CNC Bender:

REQUIRED PROGRAM ID



Hardware keys used for CNC Bender now require an appropriate program ID in both the time-limited and the permanent hardware key.

A program ID is a license number that resides in the hardware keys that allow our software to run.

This is now true of both TIME and PERMANENT keys.

LiteCONTROL -

PERMANENT KEYS



LiteControl licenses are now linked to a single specific hardware key. The setup of every PERMANENT KEYED LiteControl configuration file must be performed by Advanced Tubular before CNC Bender LiteControl will run.

ProCONTROL -

PERMANENT KEYS



ProControl licenses are NOT linked to a specific hardware key, but the hardware key must contain a general ProControl license.

TIME KEYS



Neither LiteControl or ProControl licenses are linked to to a single hardware key. However, the hardware key must contain a setup for at least one of the four license types (see the previous topic).




NEW Option: CYCLE HOLD after POST-BEND JOG

Cncbender bendoptions cyclehold after postbendjog.jpg
    The BEND OPTION cells contain a new Cycle Hold option that allows for tool clearance immediately after a Post-Bend jog.

    If ON, this option will insert a cycle hold in bend program. The cycle hold is inserted immediately after the post bend jog that follows any bend. Example: To place the bender in Cycle Hold after the first bend’s post bend jog, enable this option in the first bend option.
