Changes made for Pathfinder 5226 controllers.

It was assumed that the safety stop switch on folding machines would stay on from the safety stop height down to a clamped position. It has been discovered from new safety stop handling that Schechtl models will turn off the switch before reaching a clamped state. Instead of having companies adjust the machines to keep the switch on for the entire move down, a new input function has been added to Schechtl machines to allow the safety switch to turn off before clamping. The new multi-transition safety stop input function allows the machines switch to turn off when it is below half the safety height. For more information refer to:

SCN 2901 - Multi-Transition Safety Stop Input Function Logic and Revised Safety Stop Logic

Up until recently no 5226 board was used on a Schecthl install because the 5223 is a drop in replacement for the Stigmatek controller. The problem is that the machine in question was has a different setup of using 2 separate drives which require more I/O that the 5223 does not have. In previous cases a 5225 was used instead, but apparently we could not get that controller quick enough. So a 5226 was used instead which at the time only seemed that a Pathfinder V5 model configuration was needed. Turns out the Multi-Transitional Safety input needed to be implemented into the 5226. This was accomplished and can now be used on future installs.
