Changes made for Pathfinder 5226 controllers.

Some folding machines have a shear/slitter to cut the material to a certain length. Most of the time there is no dedicated pedal to start shear motion and the bending beam cycle or clamp down pedal is used to move the shear. Some machines do come with distinct shear pedals which are the shear cut and shear return pedals. The 5226 already had the inputs for these kinds of pedals, but not the correct logic to control the shear when either was pressed.

The solution was to add the logic for these pedals. When running a shear operation if the shear cut pedal is pressed the shear will start its defined move. If the pedal is released then the shear will stop. If the cut is pressed again the shear will continue with the move, but if the shear return pedal is pressed the shear will move to its home. If the operator holds down the shear cut pedal all the way to the defined target and keeps holding the pedal the shear will return home without having to press the return pedal. Once the shear reaches its home target the operation is over and will move on to the next.
