NEW: RELOAD Setup
This feature is added to the Utility menu. It allows for reloading the CNC Bender configuration without closing and reopening the CNC Bender software.
There are circumstances where changes to values in low-level configurations may normally need a reboot of the CNC Bender software. Examples are changes to the Axis Configuration, Module configuration, and Processlist configration. This new feature allows operators to reload the configuration without actually rebooting CNC Bender.
NEW: Automatic Shutdown for CNC Bender and Windows
A new Automatic Shutdown process is initiated when a loss of TCP/IP connection to any top hat module around the bender is disocvered. This allows for a much-improved and smoother bender shutdown process.
OLD SHUTDOWN PROCESS
The older process required that Windows be turned off using the Start menu. Then the operator opened the back of the operator station to switch the station be opened and the MinuteMan MN350 powered down.
NEW SHUTDOWN PROCESS
The new process is much easier...
1 - Press the E-stop.
2 - Power down the bender.
3 - CNC Bender will sense a loss of TCP/IP communication and propose a shutdown in 15 seconds. This shutdown can be overridden by the operator.
4 - The CNC Bender UPS (inside the operator station) will initiate Windows shutdown after 60 seconds of loss of power. (This has been verified for both Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
5 - The CNC Bender UPS will power down 90 seconds after Windows was shutdown.
Replacement of Auto Heal
This feature is in replacement to the "Auto Heal" feature introduced in version 10.0.6.0 of CNC Bender. (The Auto Heal feature is no longer available in CNC Bender.)
Setup of MinuteMan PowerCenter Software
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS FOR POWERCENTER Software:
- Shutdown Windows in 60 seconds
- Begin verbal warning in 30 seconds
- Repeat verbal warning every 10 seconds
NEW: Added Selectable User Interface Skins
CNC Bender now allows users to enter the User Interface tab menu in the Low Level menu.
- Enter the Low Level menu
- Choose the User Interface menu
- Choose a skin name from the skin list (See the image at right)
CNC Bender now allows users to enter the User Interface tab menu in the Low Level menu.
