Program Codes
EIA RS-274D
The control supports EIA RS-274D part programs. An EIA RS-274D program lists the sequence of
Lines, Arcs, Speeds, Kerf and I/O functions used to create a part. While the user is free to program in
EIA using the standard text editor, it is recommended that the ShapeWizard
Graphical Programming
environment be used instead.
Following is a list of the EIA codes that are directly supported, mapped, or currently unsupported by
the control. Mapped EIA codes are automatically converted upon program load into directly
supported EIA codes. Unsupported EIA codes are ignored. All other EIA codes will generate an
error.
