Redesigned Processor Menu
The CNC Processor menu is redesigned to include 5 new tab menus.
Menu: Incoming Messages
-
The INCOMING MESSAGES menu now allows you to show an extended history log:
Read the details below. View a movie of this revised menu here
Menu: Machine Lube
-
The new MACHINE LUBE tab has new controls and features:
The machine lube setup is control from the CNCProcessor.cfg file in the c:\cnc\config folder.
| New Features in Machine Lube | Description |
| Use Pulse or Constant Output |
This indicator shows how CNC Processor is set to handle the output point for the machine lube. The output can be toggled on and off (pulse) or switched on for the entire period of lube (constant).
[Machine Lube] A value of 1 indicates PULSE. A value of 0 indicates CONSTANT. CONSTANT is the default setting. |
| Watch for input to indicate lube complete |
This indicator shows how CNC Processor is set to determine if the machine lube is completed. If an input is examined to determine if the machine lube is complete, then CNC Processor will activate the output for the duration entered in the setup, then begin examining the input indicated in the configuration.
[Machine Lube] A value of 1 indicates watch for INPUT after the duration. A value of 0 indicates only run for the DURATION. See below for how to set the input name. |
| CIO Input Name to Watch for Lube Complete |
The input name is set in the CIO section of CNCProcessor.cfg: |
Menu: Zones / Dies
-
The ZONES / DIES menu shows the current Interference Zones and Die value setup that has been transferred to CNC Processor:
Menu: Actions / Commands
-
The ACTIONS / COMMANS menu now shows buttons that will allow for actions and commands to be sent to CNC Processor:
| New Features in Actions / Commands | Description |
| Show CIO Setup |
This new button sends a command to CNC Processor requesting a report of the current CIO name setup. Use this to confirm that the CIO names are setup in CNCProcessor.cfg properly. |
Menu: Machine Life
-
The MACHINE LIFE menu shows the total number of bend arm motions currently on a bender. This includes all bend motion - both positive and negative moves:
New General Dynamic Option - PD Set Pressure
If this option is enabled, then the PD Set Pressure Output Points are enabled using the new SetPDPressureOutputPoints command.
Changed Terminology
The following terms are changed in CNC Bender user interface:
| ORIGINAL | NEW | |
| In Low Level Tangent to Collet Face |
In Low Level Machine Length |
|
| In Run Page Complete Cycle Time |
In Run Page Production Cycle Time |
CHANGES to CNC PROCESSOR
Optimized for Win2000 or WinXP
This CNC Processor recognizes the current operating system and optimizes the loop for each operating system.
