The following G and M codes are supported by the Control Interface.
Setup Commands
| Code | Command | Format | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| F | Feed Speed | F<speed> |
Sets the feed rate, or rate of movement of the axes. |
| G4 | Dwell Time | G4 P<milliseconds> |
Inserts a delay in milliseconds. |
| G90 | Absolute Coordinates | G90 |
Sets coordinates to absolute, so that the motion commands are relative to the origin. |
| G91 | Incremental Coordinates | G90 |
Sets coordinates to incremental so that all motion commands are relative to the previous position. |
| G92 | Set Absolute Origin | G92 X<#> Y<#> Z<#> |
Sets the origin that is referenced when in absolute mode. |
| M0 | Program Stop/Pause | M0 |
Stops the g-code file from being further processed until the operator presses Continue or Start. |
| M30 | End of Data | M30 |
Marks the end of the file. The rest of the file will not be processed. |
| M3 or M4 | Spindle On | M3 or M4 |
Starts the spindle. |
| M5 | Spindle Off | M5 |
Turns the spindle off. |
| M6 | Tool Change | M6 T<#> |
Requests the machine change to the specified tool number. It will turn off the spindle and coolant and other required operations when it changes the tool. |
| M7 or M8 | Coolant On | M7 or M8 |
Turns the coolant flow on. |
| M9 | Coolant Off | M9 |
Turns the coolant flow off. |
| M90 | Output Off | M90 OUT<#> |
Turns the output to the Off or 0 state. |
| M91 | Output On | M91 OUT<#> |
Turns the output to the On or 1 state. |
Routing Commands
| Code | Command | Format | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| G0 | Rapid Move | G0 X<#> Y<#> Z<#> A<#> |
Moves one or more of the axes at the rapid speed, to the specified location. Note that not all axes are required to be specified. |
| G1 | Straight Line | G1 X<#> Y<#> Z<#> A<#> |
Moves the specified axes in straight (linear) motion. It will use the requested feedrate, either from the F command or whatever the cut speed has been specified to be. This is a cutting move. |
| G2 | Clockwise Arc | G2 X<#> Y<#> I<#> J<#> or G2 X<#> Z<#> I<#> K<#> or G2 Y<#> Z<#> J<#> K<#> |
Moves two axes (XY, XZ or YZ) along the path of an arc in a clockwise direction. The XY specification is the end position, and the IJ specification is the center of the arc. |
| G3 | Couterclockwise Arc | G3 X<#> Y<#> I<#> J<#> or G3 X<#> Z<#> I<#> K<#> or G3 Y<#> Z<#> J<#> K<#> |
Moves two axes (XY, XZ or YZ) along the path of an arc in a counterclockwise direction. The XY specification is the end position, and the IJ specification is the center of the arc. |
Drill Cycle Commands
| Code | Command | Format | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| G80 | Drilling Cycle Off | G80 |
Turns a drill cycle off. |
