Program structure at the CNC
2.1.3 End of block
The end of block is optional and may consist of the indication of number of repetitions of the block
and of the block comment. Both must be programmed in this order.
Number of block repetitions. N(0-9999)
This indicates the number of times the block will be executed. The number of repetitions is
represented by the letter N followed by up to 4 digits (0-9999). The active machining operation does
not take place if N0 is programmed; only the movement programmed within the block takes place.
Movement blocks can only be repeated which, at the time of their execution, are under the influence
of a modal subroutine. In these cases, the CNC executes the programmed move and the active
machining operation (canned cycle or modal subroutine) the indicated number of times.
Block comment
The CNC allows you to incorporate any kind of information into all blocks in the form of a comment.
The comment is programmed at the end of the block, and should begin with the character ";"
(semicolon).
If a block begins with ";" all its contents will be considered as a comment, and it will not be executed.
Empty blocks are not permitted. They should contain at least one comment.
