CNCProcessor.cfg

What is It?

The CNCProcessor.cfg file exists in the c:\cnc\config folder. It contains setup information for the CNC Processor.

Sections

Each of the sections in the CNCProcessor.cfg is set apart with an axis section label like this:

[Intervals]

Properties

Example properties for an axis:

[Intervals]
// Maximum Idle Time controls when
// the processor will run IdleMachine.runlist
// Use it to switch hydraulics OFF after a short time period
// if the machine is not in STEP or AUTO mode

// This is not necessary in this bender
Maximum Idle Time=108000000

// Master Motor Maximum Idle Time controls when
// the processor will shut the Master Motor Power OFF
// after it senses a period of inactivity.  This
// inactivity is reset only by jogs and cycles.

// 20030425 - This is now controlled primarily in the CONSTANT Run List
// which gives us more flexibility than this built-in procedure
// set this higher than the value in the constant run list
Master Motor Maximum Idle Time=108000000


// How long does the machine loop output enable?
Machine Lube Duration= 5000

// How many accumulated parts run before
// CNC Processor lubes the machine?
Lube Machine At Part Count= 500
Use Bend Count For Machine Lube= 1
Lube Machine At Bend Count= 1000


// How many accumulated parts run before
// CNC Processor lubes the machine?
Lube Machine At Part Count= 100
