10.4 Online ISO dialect interpreter
It is always useful to be able to speak a foreign language. This is true even for a global
player such as the SINUMERIK 840D sl. If you prefer classic ISO programming you can
continue to use it. You can even mix ISO programming with the SINUMERIK CNC
programming language. This enables you to increase the productivity and flexibility of your
machine step by step.
In the controller, G commands from Siemens are interpreted as standard.
ISO dialect codes and Siemens codes can be mixed within a part program, but not within an
NC block.
The switch over between Siemens operating mode and ISO dialect is performed using the
following two G commands:
● G290 - "Siemens" NC programming language active
● G291 - "ISO dialect" NC programming language active
The performance capability of the ISO dialect extends even as far as using the cycles G73 to
G89, such as cycle G84 for tapping.
Highlights
