CNC Bender v10-20071003

CNC Bender User Interface for ProControl

CHANGES to CNC BENDER

Automatic Cross Check for Module Configuration Files

CNC Bender can get confused if the module configuration files were setup improperly. CNC Bender now performs a module configuration cross check diagnostic every time it starts.

Update to File Load User Window

The File Load menu User Interface adjusted slightly in order to be more consistent with other CNC Bender menus.

Changed from:

to

Update to File SAVE Window

CNC Bender's FILE SAVE menu is simplified. This is no more multiple path selection with Alias names.

Update to File DELETE Window

CNC Bender's DELETE SAVE menu is simplified. This is no more multiple path selection with Alias names.

File System Setup Change

The FILE PATH SETUP has been changed significantly to make the interface simpler.

• There is a new FILE tab in the LOW LEVEL menu. Since the low level menu is protected with a password, only authorized users can gain access to where parts are found and stored on the disk or network.
• There is now a single grid that shows seven possible paths for user files like parts, tools, runlists, Supravision parts, etc.
• The path information in this setup grid is used by the main user interface when accessing different types of files.
• The paths are persistent; They are saved within the configuration file.
• Change any of the paths for any of the file types by touching that path.
• Quickly reset the default file path location pressing the "Reset..." button.

CHANGES to CNC PROCESSOR

CNC Processor is the program that directly controls the bender actuators.

Disallow Jog Queing When in Cycle Hold Mode

CNC Bender no longer allows an operator to jog any axis or actuator if the Cycle Hold button is pressed. This mode is slightly different than SAFE MODE CYCLE HOLD, where the safety scanner area is entered.
