Benderlink now automatically detects bends that have an angle of 180 degrees or more then performs a bisection into two smaller bend angles.  This overcomes the problem of an intersection point at an unsolvable intersection by creating two intersection points with two bends where there was one.

Check.jpg New - Supports Eaton Leonard Legacy Communications Protocol

Benderlink for Addison now supports the Eaton Leonard legacy communications protocol. The protocol simulates communications with Premier, EL-2000, and Velog controls. This protocol is available on every Eaton Leonard Vector Tube Data Center.

Why is this important? This change makes Benderlink compatible with every Eaton Leonard Vector in the world - without modification to the EL hardware.

The original protocol used was called "ATT". The difficulty with the ATT protocol is that Eaton Leonard required custom components to be purchased and installed that only work on the older versions of the Vector. The newer version of Vector does not support the electronics for the ATT protocol.
