Pathfinder; Added Foldguard w/Handshake Machine Option and I/O to ASCV2
Pathfinder

Changes made for Pathfinder PC V5.

An ASC cabinet does not have foldguard integrated into it like a Flex design. This means using an external foldguard box is needed, but that has basic firmware in it that makes the installer have to take out the fast speed valve when we want to force the clamp into slow. This is not possible with an ASC machine which uses VFD's instead.

The solution was to update the PCSS to the latest foldguard firmware and then add on to the existing ASCV2 configuration the needed I/O. This allows for the handshake logic and the force slow to work without having to mess with anything in the existing cabinet.
