Drivers selections are now available for the VideoJet 1580 printer. Internally the driver will function as if and believe it is communicating with a VideoJet 1520 printer.

Programming the Max Die Distance has been treated as optional. This can result in more Missed Shear/Punch errors than necessary if targets coast past the home position of the die when exiting the Run mode.

This change seeks to eliminate some of the unnecessary errors while not generating phone calls that would occur if we began forcing customers to program the Max Die Distance settings.

When entering the Run mode the original code treated any target greater than Maximum Die Distance as a Missed Shear/Punch target.

The following change has now been made. If the Minimum Die Distance or the Shear/Press Die Distance has been programmed we can safely shear or punch some of these targets as long as the target has not coasted beyond the larger of Minimum Die Distance or Shear/Press Die Distance settings.

To help with issues relating to the MODBUS configuration the AMS Id will now be displayed in the MODBUS diagnostic screen.

The four byte AMS Id string will be displayed as a 32 bit hex value to aid in determining the byte order used by the PLC.
