When a Setup Configuration gets loaded into setups, the changes to setups should bet backed up to Eclipse. However when the configurations got loaded, the Backup bit for Setups that Eclipse relies on was not getting set. This has been resolved.

Edits to Setup Parameters that are part of Setup Configurations can now automatically be saved into the currently selected configuration.

A new Setup has been added for Backwards compatibility. The new setup is called "Save Setup Edits to Configuration". It defaults to No, which results in no changes to the controller operation. If the user determines that they would like their edits to configuration parameters to be saved in the configuration they can set it to Yes.

When set to Yes, the values of the configuration parameters will be saved in the current configuration just before loading a new configuration.

The new setup can be found in the "Operator Preferences" setup group.

SCN 3742 failed to consider a negative velocity when the die was moving in reverse. The velocity test needed to compare using an absolute value. This has been resolved.

A customer has a line that is controlling the material movement without referencing the Motion outputs on the XL. Sometimes when the line halts, the Die appears to sit stationary at the end of its stroke and the Run output is stuck ON. When power is cycled the controller reports that the Die was in motion during power up.

It is believed that the controller is trying to return the Die to the home position. However, the Die is slowly traveling away from home at a speed that is slow enough to appear stationary.

Through code review it appears that it is possible for the function responsible for setting die return speed to use a negative line speed in calculations that expect a positive line speed. This would result in a negative velocity being provided or used and the die traveling away from home rather than towards home. The theory is that when this happens a very small negative velocity is being used or captured just as the line halts at times. Many lines have some backlash when they halt, which can result in a slight reversal in position/velocity as they settle to a stop which makes this theory plausible.

All calculations involved in the speed calculations have been analyzed. Any chance of a negative velocity being used have been eliminated. Additional protections have been added to ensure the Die Return velocity is between the Min and Max Die return velocities and that their polarity remains positive as assumed in the software.

There is a Damper Gag that is supposed to fire a damper hole on the part. It is only supposed to be enabled with P1 or P2 set to pattern 10. However, there was a bug that caused it to also be fired with pattern 9. This has been resolved.

The upper limit of the P1 and P2 fields have been increased to 19. All patterns above 9 get the Damper hole. Patterns 11 - 19 get the Damper hole and ConduLock holes. The ConduLock Patterns for 11 - 19 are identical to the Patterns for 1 - 9 respectively. Pattern 10 still only gets the Damper hole.

On some or all patterns it may not be physically possible for the Damper and ConduLock holes to physically both be installed and a Damper to function without hitting one of the conduit bars. The request for this feature was made and it is up to the customer to decide how they want to deal with conflicts and what patterns will work for their application.
