8-2 NC Code Specifications
Settings for NC Codes
This section groups together the settings involving the inter-
pretation and execution of NC codes that you can manipulate
on the machine. For others, use NC programs.
For detailed information on how to make the settings, refer
to the VPanel Online Help.

Value interpretation method
This selects the method of interpretation for numerical values
containing a decimal point and the range for calculator-
method interpretation. In VPanel, go to the [Setup] dialog box
and display the [NC Code] tab.
Workpiece origin offset (G54 through G59)
This setting affects the location of the workpiece coordinate
origin. Make the setting in VPanel's [Base Point] dialog box.
Note that making the setting in an NC program by using G10
or G92 is also possible.
EXOFS
Make the setting in VPanel's [Base Point] dialog box. Note
that making the setting in an NC program by using G10 is
also possible.
Tool-diameter offset value (G41 and G42)
Make the setting in VPanel's [Dia. Offset] dialog box. Note
that making the setting in an NC program by using G10 is
also possible.
Tool-diameter offset type (G41 and G42)
This selects type A or type B. In VPanel, go to the [Setup] dialog
box and display the [NC Code] tab.
Tool-length offset value (G43)
Make the setting in VPanel's [Length Offset] dialog box. This
dialog box is enabled only when an ATC unit is installed.
Optional stop (M01)
On this machine, the optional stop is always enabled. No set-
ting is available to enable or disable it.
Optional block skip (/)
This setting enables or disables optional block skip. In VPanel,
go to the [Setup] dialog box and display the [NC Code] tab.
Overrides
These affect rapid feed (G00), the feed rate (F), and the spindle
speed (S). Make the settings in VPanel's main window.
Items Related to the Mechanical Specifications
This section describes the NC codes that are dependent on
the machine's mechanical specifications.
+ "NC Code Reference Manual"
Dimension word
Of dimension words X, Y, Z, and A, only X, Y, and Z are sup-
ported under the standard configuration. A is supported when
a rotary axis unit is installed.
Data setting (G10)
The parameter range for G10 is as follows.
Parameter: number
Function: Offset number
Acceptable range: 1 through 8
Effective range: 1 through 8
Parameter: radius
Function: Tool-diameter offset value
Acceptable range: Range 1
Effective range: 0 through 10 mm (0 through 0.3937 inch)
Tool-diameter offset (G41 and G42)
The parameter ranges for G41 and G42 are as follows.
Parameter: number
Function: Offset number
Acceptable range: 0 through 8
Effective range: 0 through 8
Tool-length offset (G43)
G43 is supported only when an ATC unit is installed.
The parameter range is dependent on the specifications
of the installed ATC unit. For more information, refer to the
documentation for the ATC unit.
Tool selection (M06)
M06 is supported only when an ATC unit is installed.
The parameter range is dependent on the specifications
of the installed ATC unit. For more information, refer to the
documentation for the ATC unit.
Auxiliary-device control (M12 through M17)
M12 through M17 are not supported under the standard
configuration. Support depends on whether corresponding
optional devices are installed.
Spindle speed (S)
When the standard spindle is installed, the parameter range
for S is as follows.
Parameter: revolution speed
Function: Spindle speed
Acceptable range: -65,535 to 65,535
Effective range:
30 through 12,000 (Specified as rpm)
52 through 82 (Numerical-code specifica
tion)
