CNC Bender Version
This feature is available in all CNC Bender software as of version 10.0.5.8 (July 6, 2006).
What is it?
The post halt processlist is a text file that contains legal COMDEF command names and other directives to CNC Processor. It is the equivalent of a small bend program.
Flexibility
This feature’s power is its flexibility. It allows each bender to use custom reactions after a halt event.
When does it run?
CNC Processor runs this processlist after a halt occurs when a bend program is running. A halt occurs any time a program switches from Auto Mode to Manual Mode in CNC Bender.
Sample Post Halt Processlist
SignalToRobot_NotReadyForNextPart [manualmode]
This is a sample post halt processlist in which the “ready for next part” output to a robot is being cleared (so that the robot will not try to collect a part if a fault has occurred). The second step in the list is to switch to manual mode.
The COMDEF shown in this example is standard in Robot Load Integration Style 1 and is standard on CNC Bender ProControl.
Caution
As with all hand-customized process lists that are this flexible, please exercise care in choosing the proper commands. (Choosing an incorrect command could cause a machine crash.)
Location
The processlist location and name is c:\cnc\config\PostHalt.cncprocesslist If the processlist is not present in this location with this name, then it is simply ignored, and no process is run after fault events.
Last Command Required
The last command in this processlist should always be [manualmode]. If this is not the last command, then Auto Mode will automatically start after running the Post Halt processlist.
