Processing details
• The setting range for dwell time by X is "0 to 99999.999" and decimal point commands are valid. When the decimal point is
omitted, the dwell time is 0.001[s] units.
• The setting range for dwell time by P is "0 to 99999999[ms]" and decimal point commands are invalid. When a decimal
value is commanded by P, a minor error (error code: 1FC3H (details code: 031AH)) occurs.
• Dwell commands start calculating the dwell time after the completion of a deceleration stop when there is a cutting
command in the block before. However, when an M command is in the same block as a dwell command, they start
simultaneously.
• When a feed hold signal is input while executing dwell, the dwell command is stopped, and after restarting the dwell
command waits for the remaining time before executing the next block.
Do not specify a movement command and dwell command in the same block. Only the G04 command is
executed, and the movement command is not executed.
