Command mode
This function provides two modes, turning and milling modes.
With changing modes, both programming command systems, T-
system and M-system, are available.
See the following references for the details of programming
commands.

The modes can be changed by mode selection M codes.
The turning mode selection M code changes the programming
command system from M-system to T-system, and the milling mode
selection M code changes it from T-system to M-system.
The modes can be changed with DI signal PTM(G0193#1) in addition
to mode selection M code by setting parameter EPM(No.13002#1) to
1.
NOTE
1. If mode selection M code is commanded in automatic
operation, the commanded mode such as turning
mode and milling mode depends on mode selection
M code.
2. Timing to be able to do the thing to switch the mode
according to DI signal is as follows.
Reset state (F000#7 OP=0) and Control axis is
stopped
•
The mode selection M codes are specified by parameters
(No.13020,13021).
•
When one of the mode selection M codes is commanded, the code
signals(M00 – M31) and strobe signal(MF) of the miscellaneous
function are to be output.
•
It is not valid to command the turning/milling mode selection M
code in turning/milling mode.
•
The mode selection M codes must not be commanded with other
commands but alone in a program block.
•
The mode selection M codes cannot be commanded in any called
subprogram or macro.
•
The status of the mode (turning mode or milling mode) is output
to DO signal PRS(F0193#0) and is shown at the lower right on the
CNC screen.
