10.1.2 Program structure
Structure and contents
The NC program consists of a sequence of blocks (see Table below).
Each block represents a machining step.
Instructions are written in the blocks in the form of words.
The last block in the execution sequence contains a special word for the end of program:
e.g. M2.
