A Closed Loop Die Accelerator, for safety reasons, requires that the Manual Shear or Manual Punch input be maintaned during the entire operation. It can take some time for the die to reference and the press to fire. Requiring that the input be maintained allows the operation to be canceled at any time by lifting the button. It also prevents an operator from initiating the operation and then getting in harms way by keeping them close to the button.

SCN 4847 merged the Open Loop and CLosed Loop input tasks togther into one source file. The safety Maintain safety feature on the Manual Press input was lost during this merge. This has been resolved.

In some instances, Motors or Motor Contactors need time to stop or disengauge before switching press directions.

This feature is being implemented only on Open Loop Feed to Stop controllers for now due to the emergency nature of the need. It will be implemented on Closed Loop and Non-Stop applications in the future as we have time or need.

New Up Delay settings have been added for any Press with an Up Output. These settings will provide a delay between turning off the Press Down output and the Press Up output.

SCN 4952 - changed the timing on testing for drives to become fully enabled or disabling themselves.

This change worked on the first drive but relied on memory initialization that failed to work for subsequent drives. This resulted in an infinite loop of error messages that caused lockups and resets during memory test due to memory usage.

This same bug was present with EtherCAT and SERCOS enabled controllers. This has been resolved.
