6.6 ADDITIONAL PREPARATORY FUNCTIONS
6.6.1 DWELL (G04)
A dwell (delay) may be programmed by using function G04.
To do this, after the G04 code, press the decimal point and indicate the desired dwell
in seconds. The maximum dwell programmable in a block is 99.99 seconds.
Examples:
G04.99.99
99.99 second dwell
G04.2
2 second dwell.
G04.0.01
0.01 second dwell.
Attention:
G04 may also be programmed as G4.
The dwell is always executed at the beginning of the block containing it.
The block containing function G04 cannot have any more G codes; but it
may have other functions (X, Y, F, S, T, etc)
6.6.2 INCREMENT PART COUNTER (G45)
The CNC has an internal part counter which increments its count in one unit in the
following cases:
* Every time G45 is executed.
* Every time M30 is executed if machine parameter "P21(4)=1".
Its maximum count value is 9999 and it rolls over starting at 0, 1, 2, and so forth.
To see the value of this counter or reset it to "0", proceed as described in the section
on "Display Modes" of the chapter on "Program Execution" in this manual.
