This chapter will present most of the codes and words involved with programming. While
there will appear to be a great number of them, only a few are used on a regular basis.
Try to memorize the codes used most often and what they mean, so you can understand
what the program is doing.
/ (slash code)
Used in conjunction with the block skip codes (G11 and G12). When the control reads
this slash code, it checks the condition of the block skip function. If block skip is on by
the G11 code, the control skips the line of NC code in which the slash code is placed. If
block skip is off the by G12 code, the control will execute the line of NC code which
contains the slash. Skip can also be turned on or off in the SET screen.
Example: G92X0Y0
N0000 G01Y.5000
N0001 X-.5000
N0002 Y-.5000
N0003 X.5000
N0004 Y.5000
N0005 X.1000
/N0006 M00
N0007 X0
N0008 Y0
N0009 M02
In the above example, if the skip code G11 was entered before starting this program, then
the machine will not stop at the M00 Code on line 6, as it has the slash code in front of it.
N (sequence number)
Used for numbering the lines in a program. The sequence numbers can be in any order
and can even repeat. N is also used for numbering subroutines.
X
Used to specify position movement in the X-axis. A value of 5 inches would be written as
X5. or X50000 when in 4 place inch. (Notice where decimal point would be).
Y
Used to specify position movement in the Y-axis. A value of .2 inches would be written
as Y.2 or Y2000 when in 4-place inch. ( notice where decimal point would be).
Z
Used to specify position movement in the Z-axis when the machine has a power Z-axis.
A value of 3 inches would be written as Z3. 5 or Z35000
