, the roles of the modally effective feedrate from the previous block and the feedrate programmed in the 
SAR block are changed, i.e. the actual retraction contour is traversed using the old feedrate, and a new velocity 
programmed using the F word will apply correspondingly from P2 to P0. 
Programming example: Approach along a quadrant, infeed using G341 and FAD 
; Activate tool, X/Y plane 
N30 G41 G341 G247 DISCL=5 DISR=13 FAD=500 X40 Y-10 Z=0 F800 
Explanation with regard to N30: 
By using G0 (from N20), the point P1 (starting point of the quadrant, corrected by the tool radius) is approached in the plane 
Z=30, then lowering to the depth (P2) with Z=5 (DISCL). Using a feedrate of FAD=500 mm/min, it is lowered to a depth of 
Z=0 (P3) (G341). Then, the contour is approached at point X40,Y-10 along a quadrant in the plane (P4) using F=800 
mm/min. 
A maximum of five blocks 
moving the geometry axes can be inserted between an SAR block and the next traversing 
block. 
Programming when retracting: 
●  With an SAR block with a geometry axis programmed, the contour ends at P2. The positions on the axes that constitute 
the machining plane result from the retraction contour. The axis component perpendicular to this is defined by DISCL. 
With DISCL=0, the motion will run completely in the plane. 
●  If in the SAR block only the axis is programmed vertically to the machining plane, the contour will end at P1. The 
positions of the remaining axes will result, as described above. If the SAR block is also the TRC disable block, an 
additional path from P1 to P0 is inserted such that no motion results at the end of the contour when disabling the TRC. 
●  If only one axis on the machining plane is programmed, the missing second axis is modally added from its last position in 
the previous block. 
 
 
Cycles are generally applicable technology subroutines that can be used to carry out a specific machining process, such as 
drilling of a thread (tapping) or milling of a pocket. These cycles are adapted to individual tasks by parameter assignment. 
Drilling cycle, drilling pattern cycles and milling cycles 
The following standard cycles can be carried out using the SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED control system: 
● 
 
CYCLE81: Drilling, centering

CYCLE83: Deep-hole drilling 
CYCLE84: Rigid tapping 
CYCLE840: Tapping with compensating chuck 
CYCLE85: Reaming 1
