CNC Bender v11-20080823
CHANGES to CNC BENDER
NEW - The Machine Home Button Is Now Monitored Constantly for Re-homing the Machine
The Machine Home button can now to be used to re-home the machine any time CNC Bender is in manual mode.
How to use this feature:
- When the home button is illuminated constantly (not blinking - the Machine Home button illuminates constantly when the bender axes have been homed.)
- And the bender is in Manual mode
- press the Machine Home button to display the "About to start MACHINE HOMING process" dialog.
- Press "YES" to continue or "No" to stop the request.
- If you press YES, then the Machine Home button will begin flashing.
- Press the home button again to start the process on the bender.
CHANGES to CNC PROCESSOR
Repair To Inline Edge Trigger Logic
A logic problem with the Edge Trigger conditional inline handling introduced in the previous version is repaired and enhanced.
Updating to this version from the previous version is important to solve issues with the pressure die boost return input and the run button inputs.
Handle Run Buttons Anti-Tie-Down Internally
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.
Run button inputs require special handling with Edge Trigger logic, so if Edge Trigger logic is enabled for either the left or right run button inputs, then CNC Processor ignores the "require edge trigger" setting for those two inputs so that the anti-tie down logic is handled internally.
If the "require edge trigger" is set to ON in either of these inputs, then Processor will report in the log when CNC Bender is loaded. The message displayed in the log will be:
Run Button Edge Triggers Are Switched OFF - Handling Internally in CNC Processor
