The KMF controller installs fleece on the bottom of roof pannels, based on the state of two hole detect inputs. There are no orders or data to collect. Eclipse is not enabled on these controllers.

According to AMS gmbh, these controllers have been configured with the same settings when they get installed. For that reason the following settings have had their default values modified to the values listed below.

Shear Dwell Down 0.25sec Press 1 Dwell Down 0.25sec Press 1 Dwell Up 0.05sec Tolerance 15mm Minimum Shear Distance 350mm Maximum Shear DIstance 620mm Minimum Press Distance 650mm Maximum Press Distance 750mm Reference Die on Manual Shear No Line Resolution 0.038418850mm Die Resolution 0.003820200mm Loop Gain 10.0 Jog Velocity 5MPM Reference Velocity 1MPM Max Die Return Velocity 60MPM Acceleration 900cm/s2 Enable Virtual Keyboard Yes Clear Queue After Prompt Dsiplay Format Metric mm. Jog Select Mode Die (Setting not visible)

This change will make setting up new installs easier and supporting customers who recieve software updates will have an easier time getting back up to speed.

The conditions for testing for Done Items and Orders have been simplified.

Done Items and Done orders will now be checked for deletion at a minimum of once per minute or a maximum of once every 10 minutes. This time is dependent on the Auto Delete Done Orders time. The programmed time is used for the timer but is capped at the specified min and max limits above.

Done items and orders are also checked on a Power Cycle or every Memory Test.

On a normal coil tailout, while running, the current item that is reported is still the actual item that was running during the tailout. The item, order and material code have been validated against the coil and it makes sense to report the coil information and the item information all togther in one production record.

When an order it completed and there is no more production for a coil, the current item is no longer the last item that was running against that coil. It may be some item or order that will never be run with that coil. This resulted in some confusing conditions. It is especially confusing if there is scrap that gets reported because the Threadout process doesn't perfectly count the material down to the Shear to Encoder distance before the coil tails out.

To counter act this, we are now keeping track of the last produced item. It gets initialized during initialize queue and during every decrement part as parts are being produced. This item is used instead of the current item when a Threadout (Tailout) occurs, while the line is halted.
