Programming cycles 
Call and return conditions  
The G functions effective prior to the cycle call and the programmable offsets remain active beyond the cycle. 
The machining level (G17, G18, G19) must be defined before calling the cycle. A cycle operates in the current plane with:  
●  First axis of the plane (abscissa) 
●  Second axis of the plane (ordinate) 
●  Drilling axis/infeed axis, third axis, standing vertically to the plane (vertical infeed axis) 
With drilling cycles, the drilling operation is carried out in the axis standing vertically to the current plane. In milling, the depth 
infeed is carried out in this axis. 
See the following illustrations for plane and axis assignment:
