It is not desirable for Rotational Style Dies to stop during the Speed Match portion of the stroke.

When the Rotational Stop Velocity is non-zero the controller has two speed logic to prevent turning of the material motion outputs until the die has exited the material. This logic is active during Coast to Stop. However, when the last item in the controller was completed, or the shear queue was empty, the controller was setting the run mode to Halted, completely by-passing this logic.

The PEG graphics library is used by the XL for all of its display controls. By default most of the windows had a Window Icon on the left side of the title bar and a Close Icon on the right side of the title bar. Some of them have a Minimize or Maximize Icon on the right side as well.

The XL application does not need the Window icon, nor does any of the application consider the use of the Close Icon.

The PEG graphics library has been modified to display none of these icons on any Window Title Bar by default. The application will now have to enable them if it intends to include their use.

Prior to SCN-2947, the Unload Coil Screen was displayed on Tail-In when the next coil was threaded. Any manual shear that occurred after a tail-out was tracked against the coil that just tailed out. When Eclipse is enabled, a Coil is required to allow manual shears.

Now that the Unload Coil screen is presented on tail-out, if the operator answers the question indicating they no longer have a coil loaded they are not allowed to do a manual shear until they thread the next one up and enter the coil number in. This prevents them from using the shear to make a good part out of the remaining scrap.

To counteract this new limitation the software has been modified to allow a manual shear against the previously loaded coil up until a new coil is detected by the sheet detect switch. They are then prevented from doing a manual shear until they enter a coil number into the load coil screen.

After a tailout it is common to do a manual shear to cut the tail end of the coil into recoverable pieces. These manual shears should not report the accumulation of any new material. This change prevents prevents that.

If no sheet is detected, a Manual Shear will not add material to the scrap accumulator. Ultimately this means that any encoder movement while material is tailed out will not be counted as actual material used.

The Changes made in SCN 2947 to display the Unload Coil Screen on Tail-Out and the Load Coil Screen on Tail-In prevented the F2-Load Coil button in the production screen from being able to enter a coil. The F2-Load Coil button is now active all of the time again.

It is common for an operator to un-thread the coil to clear a Jam and then re-thread the same coil. As a convenience, the Unload Coil window has a "Coil was NOT Unloaded" button to handle this occurrence. This allows the operator to continue on without having to look up and re-enter the coil number.

The screen has been changed to prevent the operator from selecting the "Coil was NOT Unloaded" button until a coil is sensed by the Tail-Out input. If the Tail-Out input is ON the only appropriate responses are "Return Coil to Inventory" or "Coil was Completed".

There is an exception to this rule that should rarely come into play due to the unlikely nature of the situation to occur. After a tail-out, if a coil number gets entered with a barcode macro or the production screen and an operator then mistakenly tries to enter a new coil or delete the current one, they are given the opportunity to change their mind and select "Coil was NOT Unloaded" regardless of the Tail-Out state.

SCN 3007 Forces the coil number to be unloaded via prompt selection on a tail-out. We do not expect a coil number to be loaded on tail-in unless the operator has entered it via the GUI or via barcode macro. When encountered, the most likely scenario is that they intended this to be the next coil and it would be annoying and possibly error prone to prompt again. For this reason a Tail-In is ignored when a coil number has already been entered.
