	CoilPro is used to program, debug and run a coil program on a coil winding machine. It is also a training aid for learning and running hand labor intensive coils utilizing pictures, video and audio. It includes a full context sensitive help system linked to the complete operation/maintenance manual with pictures, video and audio. CoilPro will operate in a network environment for receiving production requirements from a cell controller as well as reporting production data to the cell controller. CoilPro is also fully Y2K compliant.
	The CoilPro Run Screen is used during startup and normal production. It has large buttons for loading programs, homing, changing operation modes, etc. The buttons are touch screen compatible. A number of numeric readouts give real time axis positions, cycle count, cycle time etc. A special large readout is used for turns count for easy operator viewing. The multi-media window is used for displaying pictures or video linked to the winding program, which can be used to help train new operators.
	The CoilPro Program Builder screen uses "Teach Mode" to create a coil program. Multiple methods allow Axes to be jogged and positions saved as program instructions. Complex instructions are selected from drop menu then data is entered in a dialog box. While building a program, the context sensitive help system is available to assist in instruction selection.
	The Axis Setup screen is used to jog and find home positions. You can change jog speed from 0 to full speed. All axes position can be displayed real time. The "Set Home" feature makes homing easiest in the industry. A multi-level security feature can keep important parameters, like axes home position from being inadvertently changed.
	The CoilPro I/O Control screen is used to monitor real time I/O activity. Using a multi-threaded technique the program can watch all machine I/O points simultaneously and display them in real time. While in the I/O Control Screen, an output toggle feature is available to easily flip outputs On and Off. This allows you to instantly see the result operating an air cylinder with a switch or prox connected to an input.
