Section 10 - Appendix - 71Microrouter CNC Machine User's Manual
A Part Program is a list of coded instructions which describes how
the designed part, or component, will be manufactured. The part
program is also called the CNC File.
These coded instructions are called data - a series of letters and
numbers. The part program includes all the geometrical and
technological data to perform the required machine functions and
movements to manufacture the part.
The part program can be further broken down into separate lines of
data, each line describing a particular set of machining operations.
These lines, which run in sequence, are called blocks.
A block of data contains words, sometimes called codes. Each word
refers to a specific cutting/movement command or machine function.
The programming language recognised by the CNC, the machine
controller, is an International Standards Organisation code, which
includes the G and M code groups.
Each program word is composed from a letter, called the address,
along with a number.
These terms are illustrated on the following pages.
