5226; Add Generic Finger Setting Bit Logic
Pathfinder

Changes made for Pathfinder 5226 controllers.

Most fingers on a machine are controlled by separate direction outputs directly associated with that finger that go to inputs at the machine. As in a finger will have a retract output and an extend output to dictate the direction the finger will move. Usually the machine will have only one finger so their only two backstops the operator can use. Some machines though will have multiple zones of fingers that give the operator different backstops to use based on where the material needs to be. To handle this the fingers are controlled through binary logic which based on what input bits are set will dictate which finger will be popped up to use.

To handle this new Finger Setting Bit logic and outputs were added to the 5226 controller. This will handle how the bit pattern is setup and handled on the machine.
