Post Halt Processlist
Contents |
CNC Bender Version
This feature is available in all CNC Bender software as of version 10.0.5.8 (July 6, 2006).
What is it?
The post halt processlist is a text file that contains legal COMDEF command names and other directives to CNC Processor. It is the equivalent of a small bend program.
Flexibility
This feature’s power is its flexibility. It allows each bender to use custom reactions after a halt event.
When does it run?
CNC Processor runs this processlist after a halt occurs when a bend program is running. A halt occurs any time a program switches from Auto Mode to Manual Mode in CNC Bender.
Sample Post Fault Processlist
Robot_Clear_BenderIsReady [manualmode]
This is a sample post halt processlist in which the “ready” output to a robot is being cleared (so that the robot will not try to collect a part if a fault has occurred). The second step in the list is to switch to manual mode.
Caution
As with all hand-customized process lists that are this flexible, please exercise care in choosing the proper commands. (Choosing an incorrect command could cause a machine crash.)
Location
The processlist location and name is c:\cnc\config\PostHalt.cncprocesslist If the processlist is not present in this location with this name, then it is simply ignored, and no process is run after fault events.
