6.3.6 Restrictions on Canned Cycles
Limitation
- Modal
Since data items X (U), Z (W), and R in a canned cycle are modal
values common to G90, G92, and G94. For this reason, if a new X
(U), Z (W), or R value is not specified, the previously specified value
is effective.
Thus, when the travel distance along the Z-axis does not vary as
shown in the program example below, a canned cycle can be repeated
only by specifying the travel distance along the X-axis.

The cycle in the above figure is executed by the following
program:
N030 G90 U-8.0 W-66.0 F0.4;
N031 U-16.0;
N032 U-24.0;
N033 U-32.0;
The modal values common to canned cycles are cleared when a
one-shot G code other than G04 is specified.
Since the canned cycle mode is not canceled by specifying a one-shot
G code, a canned cycle can be performed again by specifying modal
values. If no modal values are specified, no cycle operations are
performed.
When G04 is specified, G04 is executed and no canned cycle is
performed.
