5.1.7.3354

Changes made for Pathfinder V4 and V5.
This configuration was created to have the FoldGuard Handshake I/O available for upgrades where a 5225 is replaced with a 5226 on a standard Jorns machine.
Changes made for Pathfinder V4 and V5.
This is the 5226 version of the Jorns Full Retrofit Partial option that uses a 5225 instead. The differences in this machine to a regular Jorns Full Retrofit are that the backgauge is controlled with an open loop motor instead of a closed loop servo motor and the backgauge limit switches are normally open instead of normally closed.

Added geometries 2056793-10mm, 2056793-15mm, and 2056793-20mm to the PTL31 configuration which is the standard hydraulic design for Jouanel.
Changes made for Pathfinder V4 and V5.
Added geometries 2056793-6mm, 2056793-10mm, 2056793-12mm, 2056793-15mm, 2056793-19mm, 2056793-25mm, 3057428-6mm, 3057428-10mm, and 3057428-19mm to the PTS31 which is the standard electric design for a Jouanel machine.

Changes made for Pathfinder PC.
The slitter mode in Pathfinder is essentially continuous shear steps to create smaller blanks out of a bigger sheet of metal. Pathfinder will take the original blank size and say what is possible in terms of how many new blanks can be created. There is a lot of background calculating that will take into account what backstop is being used and what is possible with that backstop. A bug arose in that calculation when the assumption that all fingers are the same was made. The original calculation where the finger distance was subtracted was for a Thalmann TD finger. This subtraction ended up happenning on single folder machines where the backgauge has a spring finger. The subtraction is not needed in this case because the controller will start using the finger when needed. In the case of the TD finger the user chose to use the finger throughout.
The solution was to not subtract the finger distance when the chosen backstop is backgauge only.
Changes made for Pathfinder PC's.
Pathfinder has a built in test to make sure the configuration chosen is compatibly with the board it is talking to. This is to make sure someone doesn't try to use a configuration for a machine that expects a 5226, but is talking to a 5225. Not only does it look at board type it also checks the revision of the board to see if compatible. The 5226 has a B, E and F revisions, but with the introduction of the rev G this option needs to be added to all 5226 configurations so that it won't say the rev G board is incompatible.
The solution was to add rev G to all configurations that are used for 5226 boards.
Changes made for Pathfinder PC.
Added the latest firmware file for rev E and F 5226 boards. The version number is 4.04.00. This also fixes a bug on a previous build that would brick the controller.
Changes made for Pathfinder PC.
The firmware build for a rev G 5226 board has been added to the Pathfinder build. This firmware is for the new K66 processors which is now on the rev G boards. It used to be non encrypted and would brick the controller. Since making the controller except an encrypted build for the K66 the update works. The version is 4.04.00.
Changes made for Pathfinder PC.
A configuration was made for a RAS 4000 that needed a new drive. The previous drive was controlled though -10 - 10V, but the new one is 0 - 10V. Another change that is not confirmed on all other 4000's is that the clamp has a 10V pot for feedback instead of an incremental encoder. This might be a snowflake, but this design could be used on other RAS machines if their drive is also failing.
