See CNC Bender Customer Service Page for an update.

Check.jpg NEW: Any Command (COMDEF) can be taught to ignore Cycle Hold

This new feature allows selected COMDEFs to run in the processlist without pausing during CYCLE HOLD. The reason for this new capability is that some customers require that their benders be equipped with palm buttons that must be held during any part of the bending with pinch-point motion.

For example, the Allen Bradley 800Z Zero Force Touch Buttons can be installed on the left and right side of control.

There are points in the cycle where it is necessary to grasp the part and open the dies to remove the part from the bender. However, removing hands from the touch buttons to remove the part puts the part into cycle hold. The commands that examine the RELEASE button and open the dies can be programmed to ignore CYCLE HOLD in order to open the dies in CYCLE HOLD.
<br Another benefit of this capability is that many commands that wait, illuminate, or set outputs without moving actuators can be working even during CYCLE HOLD. This speeds the process by letting the non-motion commands to continue to run.

Check.jpg NEW: COMDEF Editor Changes for Ignoring Cycle Holds

The COMDEF Editor allows setup technicians to indicate which COMDEFs can safely ignore CYCLE HOLDS
