8. Dwell

8. Dwell
The G04 command can delay the start of the next block. The dwell remaining time can be canceled
by adding the multi-step skip function.

8.1 Per-second dwell ; G04

Function and purpose
The machine movement is temporarily stopped by the program command to make the waiting time
state. Therefore, the start of the next block can be delayed. The waiting time state can be canceled
by inputting the skip signal.
Command format
G04 X__ ; or G04 P__ ;
X, P
The input command unit for the dwell time depends on the parameter.
Detailed description
(1) When designating the dwell time with X, the decimal point command is valid.
(2) The dwell time command range is as follows.
0.001 ~ 99999.999 (s)
(3) The dwell time setting unit applied when there is no decimal point can be made 1s by setting 1
in the parameter "#1078 Decpt2". This is effect only for X and P for which the decimal
command is valid.
(4) When a cutting command is in the previous block, the dwell command starts calculating the
dwell time after the machine has decelerated and stopped. When it is commanded in the same
block as an M, S, T or B command, the calculation starts simultaneously.
(5) The dwell is valid during the interlock.
(6) The dwell is valid even for the machine lock.
(7) The dwell can be canceled by setting the parameter "#1173 dwlskp" beforehand. If the set skip
signal is input during the dwell time, the remaining time is discarded, and the following block
will be executed.
