Setup CNC Bender to Switch Pressure to LOW Automatically
This describes basic principles for automatically setting the pressure to LOW in CNC Bender.
Contents |
Modify the CONSTANT RUN Processlist
The Constant Run Processlist is good for tasks that should run ever 3/4 of a second. The process is reserved for non-motion type commands.
This is an example of watching for the high pressure output, and time beyond the last cycle:
[if] and, BeyondPowerOnTime=2000, BeyondLastCycleTime=5000, BeyondLastCycleTime=not(6000), output=Output_High_Pressure [display]AUTOMATIC HIGH to LOW PRESSURE After 5 Seconds LowPressureOn [end]
In the example above, the LowPressureOn command will run...
- When master motor power has been on for at least 2 seconds
- The high pressure output is ON.
- And the processor has been idle for between 5 and 6 seconds.
The "and" keyword in the [if] statement means that ALL of these conditions in the parameter line must be true. If they are true, then the LowPressureOn command is called.
IDEA 2: Enter the Data in CNC Bender Offline Then Save as a Part
The OFFLINE version of CNC Bender can be used to enter part data at a remote station, then save parts that are compatible with CNC Bender software. |
||
STEP 1 |
Enter data in the Tube Shape menu (Pre-Bend, FRB, Post-Bend). |
|
STEP 2 |
Press the SAVE button. |
|
STEP 3 |
Enter the Part name to use in the Save Part File menu and press Save.
|
|
STEP 4 |
Enter the File menu by pressing the File button in the main menu. |
|
STEP 5 |
Press the Load Part button |
|
STEP 6 |
Select the new part just copied and press the Load the File button. |
|
STEP 7 |
Finalize the setup of the bender. |
IDEA 3: Send New Data or Corrections Data From a Measuring Center Through Benderlink
Benderlink for CNC Bender is designed primarily as a way to connect CNC Bender to a measuring center to allow the measuring center to control the bender setup. It is possible to connect to any SV-Network-compatible bender, or any Eaton-Leonard-Premier compatible bender with Benderlink. See more here: Benderlink for CNC Bender |
IDEA 4: Combine Ideas 1 and 2
You could use SVin in CNC Bender OFFLINE at a remote engineering station to use data from outside sources to setup the bender before the data reaches the operator station.
