CHANGES to CNC PROCESSOR

Added Edge Trigger for Inline Conditional Logic

Edge Trigger logic is used to require a button to be released then pressed before it is considered activated. This is usually applied where it is unsafe to allow a button to be continuously pressed (without release) for machine operation.

In previous versions, conditional logic in a process list would not use Edge Trigger logic if it was enabled. Now it uses Edge Triggers when the feature is set to true for any input or output acting as an input.

An example of process list condition logic is shown here:

The [if] line shows an input CIO that is setup for Edge Trigger logic.

Previous versions of CNC Bender only use Edge Trigger logic inside COMDEFs that are inserted into process lists. (A COMDEF is a list of CIO objects).

This improved instant Processor message box displays much more information on the screen than in previous versions. For example:

The new display includes the following information:

• Notification that a controlled jog is running
• The current process running in CNC Processor
• Notification of the Post Halt Processlist running
• Notification of the Post Fault Processlist running

This removes all ambiguity regarding what is occurring within CNC Processor during controlled jog moves. If an operator presses a JOG button in CONTROLLED mode and no motion occurs because an axis is obstructed, then at least he will now clearly see that the JOG command is ACTIVE.
