MultiCam CNC Language Summary
The MultiCam CNC controller can interpret 2 languages HPGL and EIA-274D (G Codes). This command summary serves as a guide for both new and experienced EIA-274D (G Codes) users. The following table lists the supported G and M codes for the MultiCam CNC controller interface. You will also find many samples.
Uses For This Document:
• Post Processor or driver creation to interface CAM or Graphics software output with the MultiCam Controller. (Note many CAM and Graphics software already have post or driver support. Please check with your distributor or email the support department if you have any questions.)
• Code level trouble shooting and file creation.
M and G Code Table
Parameters within brackets ([ ]) are optional, the fields represented by "d.d" may be any decimal number and fields represented by "d" may be any positive integer number.
M-Codes:
The table below lists the available M-Codes and how they should be configured for Job Server.
General Post Processor Notes
- Z axis parameters
- Material Surface (Z = 0.0)
- Tool Lift (-Z) (Z= -0.75 would raise the cutter .75 inches above the material.)
- Depth (+Z) (Z=1.5 would lower the cutter 1.5 inches into the material.)
- G00 C[tool change text]
- This command will display the text that follows the "C" on the keypad display. It can be used to perform tool changes on machines that do not have automatic tool changers.
- The user will have that ability to surface the new tool when this command is called.
- Do not use this command on systems that do have an automatic tool changer.
- The keypad pad display has 2 lines, 20 characters each line, 40 characters total.. To provide the user with the best possible visual display spaces can be used to force some of the characters to the next line.
- Example: G00 CInsert .25 inch end mill will prompt the user with the following text: "Insert .25 inch end mill".
- When creating a G-Code file from your post processor, the file must end with a .cnc or .anc file extension. This is important so the MultiCams DNC program knows that the file is a G-Code file.
- File comments: "//" is use for a comment example: // This line is a comment.
- Multiple G codes or M codes cannot be put on the same line.
