5226; Don't Force Simulation Mode to Have to Reset E-Stop
Pathfinder

Changes made for Pathfinder 5226 controllers.

Simulation mode for the 5226 controllers allows users to simulate a machine and test things like jogging or going into automatic. This mode also still adheres to physical I/O. As in it expects a physical input for things like pedals and fault statuses. One problem though was that on startup it would always want the E-Stop to be reset even if the input was on. This can make things tricky if you don't have a button or a switch going to the input which would make Pathfinder stay in E-Stop mode.

The solution was to make simulation mode allow the system to go into idle at startup if the E-Stop input is on. This is how non-simulation mode works so its not changing the rules.
