CNC Bender v12-20130724

v12-20130724 Back to CNC Bender Software Updates

See CNC Bender Customer Service Page for an update.

NEW: Press Auto or Manual command then CYCLE START in CYCLE HOLD

This new feature allows an operator to press AUTO mode or any manual mode button when in CYCLE HOLD, then pres CYCLE START and activate the command. This feature is good for benders that use palm buttons to keep the bender in cycle hold (for example, the Allen Bradley 800Z Zero Force Touch Buttons mentioned in the previous revision). If AUTO mode is pressed while the bender is in CYCLE HOLD, then a large message will display for a few seconds asking for the operator to press CYCLE START.

NEW: PDA Stops During Cycle Hold Button Press

The PDA motion in a bend stops moving forward if the CYCLE HOLD button is pressed. (It would stop when the safety mat was stepped on - but not when the CYCLE HOLD button was pressed.)

Other Changes

This version of CNC Bender has a decreased input check time from 125 ms to 16 ms for faster response time. This version has repaired logic issue with BEGIN condition inputs that would cause Commands to show incompleted inputs when they were completed. This version has repaired logic for an issue with edge-detection for inputs. This version allows the input for Master Power ON to be either a BEGIN or END style input without causing the bender to to never drop out of AUTO mode. The version allows the Safety Relay ON to be either a BEGIN or END style input without a causing the bender to never drop out of AUTO mode.
