2 Programming Overview

2.2 Part Programs

The movement of a numerical control machine is controlled by the program.

Prior to part machining, the part shape and machining conditions must be
converted to a program. This program is called a part program. A
comprehensive machining plan is required for writing the part program.
The following steps must be performed when developing the machining
plan:

1. Determine the machining range requirements and select a suitable

numerical control machine.
2. Determine the work-piece loading method and select appropriate tools
and chucks.
3. Determine the machining sequence and tool path.
4. Determine the machining conditions, such as the feed rate (F), coolant,
etc.

A part program is a group of sequential commands formulated according to

the part diagram, machining plan, and command code of the numerical
control unit. It is used to plan the tool path with the assistance of the
auxiliary functions of the machine. The part program can be transmitted to
the memory of the control unit via a PC or keyboard.

2.3 Programming Methods

A numerical control unit executes actions exactly in accordance with the

commands of the part program. So, programming is very important to
numerical control machining. A programmer must have the following
capabilities:

1. Good ability to read part diagrams.

2. Rich experience in machining processes.
3. Familiar with the functionality, operating procedure, programming
language, and capacity of the machine.
4. Basic ability in geometric, trigonometric, and algebraic operations.
5. Good ability to determine machining conditions.
6. Good ability to set chucks.
7. Good ability to determine suitable part materials.

2 - 13
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

With the above abilities, you will be able to create a numerical control
machining program more efficiently. Two programming methods are
available for the part program of the numerical control unit:

Manual Programming
Automatic Programming

Manual Programming

All processes, including the drawing of the part diagram, machining design,
numerically controlled program algorithm, programming, and the
transmission of the program to the controller, are performed manually.

The coordinates and movements of the tool used in machining operations

should be calculated beforehand during the manual programming process.
Calculation will be easier if the part shape is comprised of straight lines or
90-degree angles. For curve cutting, however, the calculation is more
complicated, and geometric and trigonometric operations are required to
make accurate curves. After acquiring the coordinates of the work-piece,
create a complete numerically controlled part program in a specified format
using the movement command, movement rate, and auxiliary functions.
Check the program and make sure that there are no errors before
transmitting it to the controller.

Automatic Programming

All processes, from the drawing of the part diagram to the transmission of
the numerically controlled program to the controller are performed with a
PC.

For complex part shapes, manually calculating coordinates is time-

consuming and can easily cause errors, resulting in nonconforming
machined products. To make use of the high-speed operating capabilities of
computers, the programmer designs a simple language to describe the
machine actions and the shape, size, and cutting sequence of the part,
reinforcing the communication and processing capability of the computer.
The input data is translated into a NC program using the computer, which
will in turn be transmitted to the CNC controller via the RS232C interface.

 Chapter II Basic Programming Concepts

This is called a CAD/CAM system, and is used by many units using CNC
machines to create a program especially for machining 3-D work-pieces.

2.4 Program Composition

A complete program contains a group of blocks, and each block has a serial
number and several commands. Each command is composed of a command
code (letter A~Z) and some numbers (＋.－.0~9). An example of a complete
part program containing 10 blocks is shown in the table below. A complete
program is assigned a program number, such as O001, for identification.

A complete program:

N10 G0 X40.000 Y10.000

N20 G00 X30.000 Y5.000
N30 M3
N40 G1 X10.000 F2000
N50 V-5.000
N60 X30.000 Y-10.000
N70 G0 X40.000 Y10.000
N80 M5
N90 M2

Blocks are the basic units of a program. A block contains one or more
commands. A block has the following basic format:

N____G____X____Y____Z____F____M____

N : The serial number of the block (program).

G : Function command.
X,Y,Z,A,B,C,U,V : Coordinate positioning command.
F : Feed rate.
M : Auxiliary functions.

Except for the block serial number (N), the command group of a block can
be classified into four parts:

1. Function The G-code, for example, is used to instruct the

Command: machine to perform actions, such as linear cutting or
arc cutting.

2 - 15
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

2. Positioning Based on the G code, the X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V

Command: commands, for example, instruct the tool of the
machine to stop cutting at a specified position - i.e. the
destination or end point of the action.

3. Feed Rate This command instructs the tool to cut (G code) at a

Command specified speed.
(F):
4. Auxiliary The M, L commands, for example, determine the start,
Function: stop, and execution times of the machine.

However, not every block contains these four commands. Some blocks
have only one command. This will be further discussed in Chapter III.

Except for the block serial number of the block, which is designated N___,
all other components of the block are commands. A command contains a
command code letter (A~Z), a +/- sign, and some numbers.

Basic Command Format (e.g. the positioning command):

Y-10.000

Y : Command code
"-" : +/- sign (+ can be omitted)
10.000 : Tool positioning amount (or coordinates).

The command codes include the function command code, positioning (or
coordinate) command code, feed-rate command code, and auxiliary function
command code. Each command code has its own definition, and the machine
operates according to the given command code. The command codes of the
HUST H8-M Series and their definitions are described below.

A,B : Mean variable code 1 and 2 of the program group G65,

or the positioning command of the A- and B- axis.
C : Positioning command of the C-axis.
F : Feed-rate command.
G : Function code, G-code.
I,J : The X-, Y-, and Z-axis component of the arc radius.
L : Repetition counters (operator code of G65)

2 - 16
 Chapter II Basic Programming Concepts

M : Machine control code, M-code.

N : Program serial number.
P : call subprogram code (variable code 3 of G65).
R : Arc radius.
S : Spindle speed command.
U,V : Positioning command for the U-, V-axis. (When the U-,
V-axis are set to incremental, U, V mean value of the X- and Y-axis)
X, Y, Z: : Positioning commands for the X-, Y-, Z-axis.

Always pay attention to the following points when creating a program.

Each block has a specific format, and this format must be used during
programming. The system will not accept an incorrectly formatted
command. Major errors may occur if the system is forced to accept an
incorrectly formatted command.

Each block has a serial number for identification. Although the serial
number is not essential, it is recommended to use it for easy searching. The
serial number contains the letter “N” and some numbers. The numbers
should not be repeated, and it is not necessary to arrange them in order. The
program runs in order of blocks from top to bottom rather than their serial
numbers. For example:

Ex: N10……(1) program execution order

N30…….(2)
N20…….(3)
N50…….(4)
N40…….(5)

2.5 Coordinate System

Fabrication of a work-piece is accomplished by the cutting motion of the

machine-mounted tool from point A to point B. From point A to point B,
the path may be a straight line, arc, or a combination. A coordinate system
is used to describe the geometrical positions of the intersecting point of the
arc or line and point A and B. The cutting action is done by the controlled
change of these geometrical positions (positioning control)

2 - 17
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

2.5.1 Coordinate Axis

The HUST H8-M Series uses the well-known 2-D Cartesian coordinate
system. The 2-D coordinate system of the HUST H8-M has an X-axis and a
Y-axis. The intersecting point of the two axes is the zero point, i.e. X=0 and
Y=0 (work origin), as shown in Figure 2-1. The X- and Y-axis will be used
as an example in this manual.
+Y
P2 (-X, +Y)
P1 (+X, +Y)

X=0,Y=0 +X

P4 (+X, -Y)
P3 (-X, -Y)

Figure 2-1 2-D Coordinate System

The X- and Y-axis can be used as linear or rotational axes, which will be
described in Chapter III. When the X- and Y-axis are used as a rotational
axis, the thumb of your right hand points to the positive direction of the
axis (+X, +Y) and the other four fingers point in the direction of its normal
rotation.

2 - 18
 Chapter II Basic Programming Concepts

2.5.2 Coordinate Positioning Control

Absolute Coordinate Commands

Tool-positioning coordinates are acquired with reference to the origin

(work origin or program origin) of the work coordinate system. The
coordinates are either positive (+) or negative (-), depending on their
position relative to the origin.

Incremental Coordinate Commands

The previous coordinates of the tool are the reference point for calculating
the coordinate value of the next position. The end point of the previous
movement is the start point of the next movement. The incremental
coordinates are either positive (+) or negative (-), a negative coordinate
value means decrement. Facing toward the direction of the movement, if
the tool is heading in the positive (+) direction, U or V represents an
increment. If it is heading in the negative (-) direction, U or V represents a
decrement.

For the HUST H8-M Series, the coordinates can be set to incremental or
absolute in the following way:

1. Default Mode Variable 9320~9327=1, X,Y,Z,B,C,U,V are absolute

values.
X is a incremental value if #9320=0.
Y is a incremental value if #9321=0.

2. When G90 is executed in the part program, from this line to the end of
the program, absolute coordinate positioning will be applied for X ,Y,
Z, A, B, C, U, V

3. When G91 is executed in the part program, from this line to the end of
the program, incremental coordinate positioning will be applied for
X ,Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V.

2 - 19
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

Note: The G90, G91 settings are only configured for the part program.
Coordinate positioning will restore to the last parameter settings
after the part program is finished.
Simultaneous use of absolute and incremental coordinate systems in a part
program is possible. When using the absolute coordinate system, the input
error of the previous position, if any, does not affect the coordinate of the
next point. When using the incremental coordinate system, however, all
subsequent positioning is affected if the previous position is incorrect.
Therefore, particular attention should be paid when using incremental
coordinates.

There aren’t any rules about when to use the incremental or absolute
coordinate system. It depends on the machining requirements. If each
machining point is positioned relative to the home position, it is
recommended to use the absolute coordinate system.

For a diagonal (simultaneous positioning on the X and Y-axis) or arc

movement command, the coordinate value of each axis acquired from the
trigonometric operation will be rounded off. In this case, particular
attention should be paid when the incremental coordinate system is used,
since the number of machining points may increase, and the more points
there are , the more errors will occur. Basically, whether an absolute or
incremental coordinate is used depends on the programming requirements
and the specifications of the machining diagram.

2.5.3 Work Origin

The specifications of the machining diagram are converted to the

coordinate system at the CNC programming stage. Before the conversion, a
point on the work-piece is selected as the zero point of the coordinate
system (i.e. the work origin) and the coordinates of other points on the
work-piece are calculated based on this work origin.

The programmer determines the position of the work origin. It can be any
point on the work area of the machine. However, it is recommended to
select an origin that makes it easier to read the work-piece coordinates.
Refer to Chapter III for information about work origin input to the
controller.

2 - 20
 Chapter II Basic Programming Concepts

The work origin is also called the work zero point or program origin. In
this manual, this zero point is always referred to as the work origin.

2.5.4 Machine Origin

There is a fixed point on the machine bed or bed rail. This point is used as a
reference point for calibration of the work origin and tool length
compensation. This reference point is called the machine origin.

The point will be the zero degree position if the X- or Y-axis is set as a
rotational axis.

Each axis has a machine origin. The tool will return to the machine origin
after performing the homing action. The coordinate of the machine origin is
determined by the position of the limit switch mounted by the machine
manufacturer.

The homing action should be performed after powering on the machine. If

the current position is lost due to a power failure, the homing action should
be performed again.

2.6 Numerical Control Range

The numerical control range of the HUST H8-M Series is described in the
following table (the 4/3 format is used).

Min. setting unit 0.001 mm

Max. setting unit 9999.999 mm

• * -- Modal G-codes

The definition of the G-codes in the HUST H8-M series is similar to that of other
controllers. They are classified into two groups:

1. One-shot G-codes

A One-shot G-code (has no * mark in the table) is valid only in the defined
program block.

Ex.: N10 G0 X30.000 Y40.000

N20 G4 X2.000 ..... G4 is a one-shot G-code and is valid
only in this block.
N30 G1 X20.000 Y50.000 ..... G04 no longer valid in this block.

2. Modal G-codes

A Modal G-code (has a * mark in the table) is valid until it is replaced by

another G-code of the same group.

Wherein G00, G01, G02, G03 Same group.

G43, G49 Same group.
G54~G59 Same group.

G00 (or G0) is used to instruct the tool to move to the defined end point of a
program block at a specific rate, which is obtained by multiplying the maximum
feed-rate [variables # 9140 ~ 9147] by G00 MFO%.

Simultaneous Fast Positioning of 8 Axes:

G00 X___ Y___ Z___ A___ B___ C___ U___ V___

The 8 axes X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, and V are repositioning at the same time.

In G90 mode, the absolute coordinate system is applied to the 8 axes X, Y, Z,

A, B, C, U, and V.
In G91 mode, the incremental coordinate system is applied to the 8 axes X, Y, Z,
A, B, C, U, and V.

The above-mentioned commands allow the tool to quickly move to position

X5.60, Y2.00.

It is assumed that the maximum feed-rate is:

TRX #9140 = 3000.00 mm/min, TRY #9141 = 5000.00 mm/min. Register R220 is set
to 100%.

The system program calculates the feed-rate of the other axis based on lower
settings, if #9140 (maximum feed-rate of x-axis) is used as a basis for calculation.

Fx = 3000 ……X-axis feed rate

Fy = 3000 * (3.00/3.05)
= 2952 (less than 5000.0, Y-axis setting) …….Y-axis feed-rate

The feed rate of both axes is within the MCM parameter settings.

3-5
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

Therefore, the tool will feed at the calculated rate on both axes.
Ex. 2: The program line in Ex. 1 is modified to G0 X5.6 Y-1.00.
It is assumed that the maximum feed-rate is the same as that in Ex. 1.

Fx = 3000
Fy = 3000*(6.00/3.05)=5901.64

In this case, Fy (5901.64) > TRY (5000.00) so that the feed-rate is based
on the Y-axis settings with a limited X-axis feed-rate.

Fy = 5000 …….Y-axis feed-rate

Fx = 5000 * (3.05/6.00)
= 2541.67 ……X-axis feed rate

The maximum feed-rate for each axis from #9140 to #9147 is calculated based on
the following formula:

Fmax = 0.95 x Max. Axial Servo Motor RPM x Axial Pitch ÷Gear
Ratio （Value Recommended for use）

Ex.: The max. X-axis servo motor rpm is 3000 with a 5mm pitch and a
gear of ratio 5:1 (the lead screw only makes 1 turn while the servo motor
makes 5 turns)

Fmax ＝ 0.95×3000×5÷5 ＝ 2850 mm/min

The max. feed-rate should be set to 2850.

Note: The max. slope ratio for X-, Y-, or Z-axis fast positioning is
10000:1.When the feed-rate is set to 2000 mm/min, the path error will be
less than 0.2% if the resolution is 1μm.

The G0 command is available in CNC Standard Mode and Master/Slave Mode.

Refer to Section 3.4 for information about the two modes.

3.3. Linear Cutting, G01

Format:

G01 X____ Y____ Z____ A____ B____ C____ U____ V____ F____

X,Y,Z,A,B,C,U,V: End point in absolute coordinates.

F : Cutting feed-rate. Unit:□□□□□□.□ ㎜

1) The F code can be used with the G01, G02, and G03 commands.
2) The F code is a modal code, which can affect the feed-rate of the next
block when used.
3) The F-code can be used in the G00 block without affecting the fast
positioning movement. However, the feed-rate of the next block may be
affected.
G01 (or G1) is used for linear cutting work. It can control 1 ~ 8 axes simultaneously.

The cutting feed-rate is determined by the F-code. The lowest setting of the F-code is
1 mm/min. The highest setting is determined by the max. feed-rate setting (#9140
~ #9147). Actual cutting feed-rate: Ft ＝F x G01 MFO%.

#9140 ~ #9147 means the maximum feed-rate; the factory default is 10000.

The G00 MFO% is the feed-rate percentage for G01, G02, and G03. The initial
setting is 100% with a setting range from 0 to 150.

The coordinate for the tool’s current position serves as the start point for cutting
when a command is given. The feed-rate defined by an F-code remains valid until
it is replaced by a new feed-rate. There is no need to specify a feed-rate in each
block (the feed-rate setting of the F-code can also be set to be valid only for a
single line, C024).

The F-axis represents the feed-rate on a slant (composite vector of the X- and Y-
axes) during simultaneous X- and Y-axis movement. In this case, the feed-rate of
the X- and Y-axis in CNC standard mode is calculated based on the following
formula. The max. slope ratio of the X- and Y-axis feed-rates is 10,000:1. The
calculation method for the Master/Slave Mode will be introduced in the next
section.

3.4. CNC Standard Mode and Master/Slave Mode

When the part program is running, every block has a feed-rate (F), including the
G0 block. When a feeding command is given in CNC mode, the motor starts
accelerating to the specified feed-rate. It maintains this speed and decelerates to
zero when the tool approaches the positioning point. When a feeding command is
given in the next block, the motor repeats the acceleration and deceleration
actions. The speed of the motor is reset to zero between blocks.

Master/Slave mode — In master/slave mode, an axis is selected as the master axis

3-8
 Chapter III Programming and Command Codes

and the remaining axes are automatically set to act as slave axes. The motor speed
of the master and all slave axes remains at the feed-rate and is not reset between
blocks. If two adjoining blocks have different feed-rates, the feed rate of the
former block will not be reset to 0, but is instead adjusted to the feed-rate of the
latter block. If the feed-rate of the master axis is zero, the controller will select the
feed-fate of the slave axes.
Between blocks, the acceleration/deceleration types include:
(1) CNC standard mode (including linear and “S” curve acceleration/deceleration)
(2) Master/slave mode (including linear and “S” curve acceleration/deceleration)

The G0, G1, G2, and G3 commands are available in CNC Standard Mode and
Master/Slave Mode.
#8336 is used to set CNC standard mode and master/slave mode.
0 = CNC standard mode
1 = master/slave mode with the X-axis as the master
2 = master/slave mode with the Y-axis as the master
3 = master/slave mode with the Z-axis as the master
4 = master/slave mode with the A-axis as the master
The parameter #8349 is used to set the type of motor acceleration/deceleration as
linear or “S” curve.
The controller can be used to set the acceleration/deceleration type of the servo
motor according to the following table.

The CNC standard mode and master/slave mode are mainly used to distinguish
between the servo motor acceleration/deceleration types. When the part program
is running, every block has a feed-rate (F), including the G0 block. When a
feeding command is given in CNC standard mode, the motor starts accelerating to
the specified feed-rate. It maintains this speed and decelerates to zero when the
tool approaches the positioning point. When a feeding command is given to the
next block, the motor repeats the acceleration and deceleration actions. Therefore,
the speed of the motor is reset to zero between blocks.

Master/Slave mode — In master/slave mode, an axis is selected as the master axis

and the remaining axes are automatically set to act as slave axes. The motor speed
of the master and all slave axes remains at the feed-rate and is not reset between
blocks. If two adjoining blocks have different feed-rates, the motors of the master
and all slave axes perform the acceleration and deceleration actions and the motor
speed is adjusted to the feed-rate of the next block without being reset to zero. If
the feed-rate of the master axis is zero, the controller will select the feed-fate of
the slave axes.

The CNC Standard and Master/Slave modes are exemplified below.

Ex. 2: G1 X100.0 Y50.0 F1500

If the composite vector for the X- and Y-axis = (1002 + 502)1/2 = 111.8,
X-axis feed rate, Fx =(100/111.8) × 1500= 1341
Y-axis feed rate, Fy =(50/111.8) × 1500=670.8
Both axes are within the “max. feed-rate” setting range and are thus valid
for feeding.

Ex. 3: G1 X100.0 Y200.0 F2000

If the composite vector for the X- and Y-axis = (1002 +2002)1/2 = 223.6,
X-axis feed rate, Fx = (100/223.6) * 2000 = 894
Y-axis feed rate, Fy = (200/223.6) * 2000 = 1789

Since Fy ＞ TRY (1000), the feed-rate is limited to:

Fx = (894/1789) * 1000 = 500

In master/slave mode, the speed between blocks is not reset to 0, but is instead
adjusted to the feed-rate of the next block. The specified rate of a single block (F)
is the feed-rate for the master axis. The controller adjusts the rate of the slave axes
based on the rate of the master axis and the MCM parameters. Ex. 1 and 2
demonstrate this relationship. There may be some slight errors between the start
and end points of an arc during arc cutting in Master/Slave mode.

Fig. 3-5 shows that linear acceleration/deceleration is performed at a rate higher

than 0. The X-axis is set as the master with the Y- or Z-axis as the slave. The
feed-rate of each block depends on the master axis (X-axis), and the feed rate of the
slave axis (Y/Z) will be adjusted according to the incremental slope ratios of X
and Y/Z.
If the motor performs “S” curve acceleration / deceleration, acceleration /
deceleration between blocks will proceed as shown in Fig. 3-5A:

Ex. 2: If #8336 = 1, the X-axis is set as the master while the Y- or Z-axis is set as
the slave. The feed-rate of the master axis (X) in each block remains the
same and the feed rate of the slave axis (Y/Z) is adjusted according to the
incremental slope ratios.

HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

In Ex. 2, the feed-rates of the slave axes are adjusted according to their incremental
slope ratios and will not be reset to zero. Note that there is a small interval between
blocks during acceleration/deceleration (Fig. 3-6). The tool moving distance at this
interval can be calculated using the following formula.

(F1－F2) T
Distance = 0.5 × ×
60 1000

F1, F2 = the feed-rates of the slave axis prior to and following the block
(mm/min).
T = G01 acceleration/deceleration constant

In Ex. 2, where F1 of block N20 is 500 mm/min and F2 of block N20 is 250
mm/min, if the acceleration/deceleration setting is 500ms, the moving distance at
the deceleration interval of block N20 is 1.04mm. Shortening the
acceleration/deceleration duration is one method of shortening this distance.

The example below shows how to calculate the feed-rates of the master and slave
axes. The relationship between the feed-rate and the max. feed-rate setting is
taken into consideration during the calculation. In the example, it is assumed that:

#9140 (TRX) = 2000.00,

#9141 (TRY) = 4000.00 mm/min.

Ex. 3: G0 X100.0 Y50.0 (X-axis as the master)

Feed-rate of the master axis Fx = 2000
Feed-rate of the slave axis Fy = (50/100) * 2000 = 1000
Fy < TRY (4000.00),
So, the feed-rate is determined by the TRX value of #9140 (X-axis).

Ex.4: G0 X100.0 Y200.0 (X-axis as the master and #8336 = 1)

Feed-rate of the master axis Fx = 2000

Feed-rate of the slave axis Fy = (200/100) * 2000 = 4000
Fy = TRY (4000.00),
So, the feed-rate is determined by the TRX value of #9140 (X-axis).

Ex.5: G0 U100.0 V300.0 (X-axis as the master and #8336 = 1)

Feed-rate of the master axis Fx = 2000

Feed-rate of the slave axis Fy = (300/100) * 2000 = 6000
Fy > TRY (4000), thus the speed is limited to:

3 - 16
 Chapter III Programming and Command Codes

Feed-rate of the master axis Fx = (4000/6000) * 2000 = 1333

Feed-rate of the slave axis Fy = 4000
So, the feed-rate is determined by the TRY value of #9141 (Y-axis).

3.5. Arc Cutting, G02 and G03

The arc-cutting program contains four command groups, as showed in the list
below. The combination of these commands determines the arc path of the tool in
a single block. Refer to Section 3.6 for special arc cutting. The X-Y, Y-Z, or Z-X
plane can be used as the cutting plane. The X-Y plane is used as an example here.
After power-on the default is the X-Y plane.

The arc-cutting program contains four command groups, as showed in the list
below. The combination of these commands determines the arc path of the tool in
a single block.

4 Arc feed-rate F Lowest setting 1 mm/min.

The end point described in the list can be defined either by absolute or
incremental coordinates. The size of the arc can be defined either by the
coordinate difference or radius. The arc cutting direction (CW or CCW) is
relative to the center of the arc (not the coordinate origin), as Fig. 3-7 shows.

Fig. 3-8 Arc Cutting

An arc comprises three elements: a start point, an end point and a center. The
center (C) is defined by the I and J values, which are the increment or decrement
from the start point of the arc to the center of the circle. If the coordinates from
the start point to the center of the circle are incremental, the value is positive.
Otherwise, it is negative. I and J commands may be replaced by an R command.
(Fig. 3-8)

Start point (S) :the coordinate of the tool when the G02 and G03 commands are
executed.
End point (E) :X and Y value in the program.
Center :defined by the I and J values. The I and J values are the
coordinate differences between the arc start point and the center.
These values can be either positive or negative.

The arc feed-rate is defined by the F-value. Actual arc feed-rate: Ft ＝F x G01

HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

Please note the following when executing arc cutting:

1. The F value (i.e. the feed-rate) of G02, G03 is the tangential cutting speed. This
speed is subject to the radius of the arc and the F value of the program because
the HUST H8-M system uses a fixed 1μm chord height error (Chord Height
Error is the maximum distance between the arc and the chord).

2. When the calculated tangential cutting speed of the arc is greater than the F
value of the program, the F-value is used as the tangential cutting speed.
Otherwise, the calculated value prevails. The maximum tangential cutting
speed is estimated with the following formula:

Fc 85 u R u 1000 mm / min

Where R= Arc radius in mm.

Ex.: G02 X0.250 Y0.500 J0.25 F2000
Description: A speed of 2000.0 mm/min is used for this arc cutting work.
After calculation using the formula, the actual tangential
cutting speed Fc = 1344 mm/min. Thus, the actual tangential
cutting speed is 1344 mm/min.

Ex.: G02 X0.250 Y0.500 J0.25 F1000

Description: A speed of 1000.0 in/min is used for this arc cutting work.
After calculation using the formula, the actual tangential
cutting speed Fc = 1344 mm/min. Thus, the actual tangential
cutting speed is 1000 in/min.

3.6. Arc (Tread) Cutting, G02, G03, G17, G18, and G19

◎ When executing arc cutting in the X-Y dimension, G17 can be omitted.
◎ The functions of G17, G18, and G19 will be described in the next sections.

center of the circle. If the coordinates from the start point to the center of the
circle are incremental, the value is positive. Otherwise, it is negative. The
definition of this increment/decrement is the same as the incremental
commands U, V, and W. All of these commands can be replaced by the R

2. Enter JOG mode.
3. Move the tool to the desired position where the work origin is to be set.
4. Enter MDI mode, input G54, and press Start.

5A. If the coordinates of the tool in Step 3 are the desired position for the work
origin, do the following:

Press G10 Input,

Y0. Input,
Z0. Input,
Press the Start key to finish the setting.

Press the CYCST key to complete the setting process.

The following precautions should be observed when using G10 to set the work
origin:

1. Do not add P__ to the G10 block; otherwise, it becomes a tool length
(movement) compensation command.

2. The same procedure is applicable to the G55~G59 coordinate system, except

that G54 is replaced by G55~G59 in Step 4. If no coordinates from G54 to
G59 are specified in step 4, the work origin data will be entered into the
currently valid work coordinate system.

3. The G10 command can also be applied in the program.

4. When G54~G59 are selected by G10, the machine position data of the origin
will be entered into variables #7000~#7047 regarding the x, y, z, a, b, c, u, v
items.

5. A PLC can also be used to set the work origin. (C_BIT 233)

HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

Note that prior to the G28 command, the tool length compensation command
must be canceled.

3.12. Return To Previous Position From Reference Point, G29

Format:

G29 or G29 X__ Y__ Z__ A_ B__ C__ U__ V__

When the tool must return to the previous position before G28 is executed, use the G29
command. This command cannot be used separately. It must be executed following the
G28 or G30 command. The 8-axis tool will automatically return from the reference
point if the G29 command does not contain X/Y/Z/A/B/C/U/V commands. Or if
the G29 command specifies an axis, the specified axis will return to the previous
position from the reference point.

Ex.: N1 X60. Y30. Z5. ..... Tool moves to the position X60., Y30.
N2 G28 ..... Tool returns from X60, Y30 to the 1st reference point.
⋯⋯⋯⋯
N3 G29 ..... Tool returns from the reference point to X60., Y30.

As shown in the above Ex., the N3 block may have the following combinations:
N3 G29 or N3 G29 X__ Y__ Z__ A_ B__ C__ U__ V __
The tool returns to X60.00, Y30.00 Z5 if the G29 command does not contain

Format:

G31 X__ Y__ Z__ A__ B__ C__ U__ V__ F__

X/Y/Z/A/B/C/U/V : Predicted end point in absolute coordinates.

The H8-M interrupt point is I0, which is unchangeable.
F : Cutting feed-rate.
G31 functions in the same manner as G01 until the skip function is established;
i.e. G31 executes linear cutting along the X, Y coordinates. Once an interrupt
signal is detected during cutting, the G31 skip function is established and the G31
block is skipped.

When G31 is performing linear cutting, the feed-rate is the one already in effect.
If the F value is not set, the settings of variable #8330 (G01 power-on speed) will
be applied. G31 is a one-shot G-code and is only valid in the defined block. The
following is an Ex. of G31.

In the above figure, the dashed line represents the original path without the SKIP
function and the solid line is the actual tool path after the SKIP function signal
I007 is received. The G31 function is suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Here are three examples:

1. The striker is used to detect and measure the length of the work piece. The
interrupt signal is generated and the G31 function is established when the striker
is hit.

 Chapter III Programming and Command Codes

2. Design paper cutting: Because of paper tension, you may receive inaccurate
results when measuring design papers by length. But you can accurately
perform cutting at a pinpoint by taking advantage of the properties of a
certain pattern to send interrupt signals.

2. Spring machine cutting: The G31 function is established and cutting is

performed at the other end, or the program is notified to interrupt the block
and execute its next block, when the sensor of a machine that is used to
produce coil springs detects the lead section of the spring and sends an
interrupt signal.

3.15. Work Coordinate System Setting

There are two coordinate systems for CNC machine tools. This section describes
how to use these coordinate systems.

1. Machine Coordinate System (Home)

3. Work Coordinate System (G54~G59)

3.15.1 Machine Coordinate System (Home)

The origin of the machine coordinate system is a fixed point on the machine.
When you Execute HOME from the control panel, the tool or the machine table
will move toward the OTLS, then reverse and go back to look for the encoder
GRID signal. When it locates the GRID, the tool stops. This location is the
HOME position or machine origin.

The machine origin is the calculation basis for all work and reference point
coordinates. Its position is normally determined by the position of the travel-
measuring rule on the machine table and the position of the over-travel limit
switches (OTLS). Before cutting, be sure to Execute HOME to determine the
position of the machine origin.

Another origin may be required for cutting convenience. This origin is slightly
shifted from the machine origin and, thus, is called HOME SHIFT. The shift
amount is configured in variables #9280 ~ 9287. When you Execute HOME, the
tool returns to the HOME position but the machine coordinate shows the shift
value of variables #9280 ~ 9287. If the shift value of variables #9280 ~ 9287 are
set to zero (0), HOME SHIFT is the HOME position.

Ex.: If the variable # 9280 setting (X-axis) = 10.000, the screen will show 10.000,
instead of 0.000 when homing completes.

The methods to return to the HOME position are:

1. Manually return to the HOME position.

2. Use G28 or G30 to home the tools when the reference coordinates in MCM
are set to zero for the X, Y (The origin obtained by G28 may be inaccurate
if homing is not executed and the screen shows ERROR2，22)

3 - 44
 Chapter III Programming and Command Codes

3.15.2 Work Coordinate System, G54~G59

The HUST H8-M series provides 6 sets of work origins. The coordinate system
comprising these work origins is called the Work Coordinate System. The 6 sets
of work origins are located relative to the position of the machine origin. Their
coordinates are called machine coordinates and are stored in variables
##7000~#7059.

Coordinate data can be entered via:

1. G10 command
2. Direct modification of MCM parameters
3. PLC.

The application of these work origins in the program is executed by the G54~G59
command codes. Depending on processing requirements and programming, the
user can select up to six sets of work origins to work with. The greatest advantage
of this work coordinate system is to simplify the coordinate operation of the part
program. See the following examples:

Fig 3-20 shows the association of the G54~G59 work coordinate system with
variables #7000 ~ 7059 X, Y, Z, A, B, C. These coordinate parameters, i.e. the
work origin, correspond to the machine coordinates when the machine origin
serves as the zero point. The work origin settings of the G54 ~ G59 work
coordinates are listed in the following table.
An XY drawing is used for illustration. Since it is difficult to illustrate the Z-axis
and other axes using the plane coordinate system, the Z-axis and other axes will
not be mentioned.

Format:
G98…… Feed-rate (F) unit: mm/min

Power-on and reset default is G98 mode in mm/min.

G98 mode is mainly used for typical applications while G99 mode is used for
special cases, such as a winding machine.
In G99 mode, special attention should be paid to the following considerations:

1. The G99 command must be used in G01 mode and will be invalid for G00 fast
positioning.

2. In G99 mode, the machine tool requires a rotary spindle and encoder feedback
to configure “variable #8341 => Spindle Axis, variable #8342 => Spindle
Encode Setting” in PLC ladder.

3. In G99 mode, G00, G01, G02 always perform linear acceleration/deceleration,

regardless of the settings of variable #8394 (acceleration/deceleration type).

4. Select an axis for rotary spindle or passive encoder feedback in variable #8341.

Variable #8341 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

which is four times the number of feedback pulses.

Ex.: To design a rotary spindle connected to the Z-axis to drive the X- and Y-axis
The pulses sent by the encoder feedback per revolution is 2000.
1. Set variable #8341 to 3 in PLC (Z-axis as the spindle)
2. Variable # 8342 = 8000 (2000 x 4)

3.18. Canned Cycle Functions (H8-M only), G81~G89, G80

The Hust H8-M provides a number of canned cycle cutting functions for
processing. They form a command group and are executed using a specific G-
code. The H8-M series provides several canned cycle functions to simplify
program design. The cutting sequence controlled by the canned cycle command
group of the H8-M is illustrated in Fig. 3-46 below.

2. Fast positioning to the reference point for drilling start (R) along the Z-
axis.
3. Hole drilling at the bottom (Z) along the Z-axis.
4. Mechanical action at the hole bottom – tool waits or spindle rotation
reverses.
5. Drill bit retracted to R-point. The moving speed depends on the
command specified.
6. Move back to the start point S at the G00 feed-rate.

When applying the canned cycle function, M03 is used for normal spindle
rotation, M04 is used for reverse spindle rotation, and M05 is used for spindle
stop.

G80 or G00 or G01

Explanation:

X, Y : Specify the absolute or incremental coordinate for the hole.

Z : Specify the absolute or incremental depth or coordinate for the hole.
P : Dwell at the hole bottom. Unit: ms; i.e. 1000 stands for one second.
Q : G83 amount of feed for each cut, in μm.
R : Specify the absolute or incremental coordinate for the R-point. R is the
reference point of feeding/retraction.
F : Feed-rate setting.
K : Processing repetition setting.

During the drilling operation, parameters such as the specified drilling mode
(such as G81, G82, and so on), feeding/retraction reference point, and hole depth
or coordinate (Z) are mode codes. They will not change before other command
codes of the same group are set up. The single block command for each basic
format with respect to the canned cycle function is described in detailed below.

3.19. G90 or G91-Absolute or Incremental Coordinate Setting

These commands were described in the previous section. In a canned cycle

program, R and Z are coordinates relative to the zero point of the Z-axis in the
absolute coordinates system, while Z is an incremental coordinate relative to the
R-point in the incremental coordinate system. Though the R and Z coordinates
remain unchanged in the program, their displacement coordinates are different

3.38. Customized Program Group [MACRO] Command, G65

G65 is used for basic and logic operations for some variables and Executes the
program branching function after analyzing a specified variable. G65 is available
to the main program and subprogram. A group of G65 commands can be formed
as an independent program group with the same structure as the subprogram. For
definition of each operator with respect to a program group command, refer to
Table 3-2.

G65 Format:

3 - 63
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

G65 Lm P#i A#j B#k

L, P, A, B : G65 codes are unchangeable.

m : Operator code as defined in Table 3-3.
Ex.: L2 stands for addition (+) and L3 stands for subtraction (-).

#i : Functions.
1. P#i is the location to store the result of mathematical
operations.
2. Pi is the program serial number for line feed when a function
is deemed as valid.

#j : Variable name 1. This function represents a variable number or

a constant.
CASE1: A#j, j represents a variable number in the range 1 --
9999.
CASE2: Aj :j represents a constant in the range -9999999 --
9999999.
Please note that the format "Aj" has no "#".

#k : Variable name 2. This function represents a variable number or

a constant.
CASE1: A#j, j represents a variable number in the range 1 --
9999.
CASE2: Aj :j represents a constant in the range -9999999 --

Variable Explanations:

1. Variable #i
#1~#9999 : User defined variables,
These can be stored when the power is turned off.
#10000 and above : These are read-only controller system variables. No change is
allowed.

2. All variables (#i, #j, #k) can only contain integers. No decimal value should
be used. #i must be positive, while #j and #k can be positive or negative. A
negative integer indicates that the sign of the value contained in that variable
is inverted.
Ex. 1: #2 = 99
G65 L01 P#1 A-#2 ; #1 = -#2 = -99.

Ex. 2: #2 = 25, #3 = 5
G65 L04 P#1 A#2 B-#3 ; #1 = #2× -#3 = -125.

3. If the value specified for #j or #k is entered as a constant, it must be an

integer (max 7 digits, + or -). The input unit depends on the decimal format
of the G65 command. Refer to Section 6.5 for details.

Decimal Point 1 (6/1 format) 2 (5/2 format) 3 (4/3 format) 4 (3/4 format)
Unit 100μm 10μm 1μm 0.1μm

18. Combined Multiplying and Dividing Operation

G65 L26 P#i A#j B#k ; #i =( #i × #j )/#k

Note 1: The HUST H8-M controller cannot handle multiplied values greater
than 9999.999. However, if you use G65 L26 for the operation, the
multiplied value can exceed 7 digits as long as the final result after
division is less than 7 digits.
Ex.: #1 = 10000, #2 = 30000, #3 = 1000
For (#1× #2)/#3
Command: G65 L04 P#5 A#1 B#2
G65 L05 P#6 A#5 B#3
No correct value is acquired using this command, because the
computed value of G65 04 exceeds 7 digits. However, if the command
is changed to the following:
Command :G65 L26 P#1 A#2 B#3
Result :#1 = #1× #2 / #3 = 300000

Ex. 1: #5 =12, #10 = 15, #15 = 3

Command : G65 L26 P#5 A#10 B#15
Result : #5 = (#5 ×#10)/#15

22. Sin

G65 L31 P#i A#j B#k ; #i = #j × Sin(#k)

Note 1: The angle #k has 5 integers and 2 decimals in this format.

#k = 4500 stands for #k = 45o

Note 2: Since Sin(#K) ≦ 1 and the HUST H8-M system does not operate
on decimals, the numbers after the decimal point, if any, will be
automatically disregarded. Therefore, G65 L31 must by multiplied
by a number #J. For Ex.: #1 = Sin45°= 0.707. The format of 0.707
in the system is 0000707, so the operation is G65 L31 P#1 A1000
B4500.

Ex. 1: For #1 = Sin60°

3 - 79
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

Command : G65 L31 P#1 A1000 B6000

Result : #1 = 1000 × Sin 60°=866

23. Cos

G65 L32 P#i A#j B#k ; #i = #j × Cos(#k)

Note 1: The angle #k has 5 integers and 2 decimals in this format.

#k = 4500 stands for #k = 45o

Note 2: Since Cos(#K) ≦ 1 and the HUST H8-M system does not operate
on decimals, the numbers after the decimal point, if any, will be
automatically disregarded.

Therefore, G65 L31 must by multiplied by a number #J. For Ex.: #1 = Cos45
°= 0.707. The format of 0.707 in the system is 0000707, so the operation is
G65 L32 P#1 A1000 B4500.

Ex. 1: For #1 = Cos 30 o

Command : G65 L32 P#1 A1000 B3000
Result : #1 = 1000 × Cos30°=866

24. Tan

G65 L33 P#i A#j B#k ; #i = #j × tan(#k)

#1 = tan 45°= 1 and in the system, 0000001 represents 1;

Therefore, the expression is G65 L33 P#1 A1000 B4500.
Result : #1 = 1000 ×tan 45°=1000

Ex. 1: For #1 = tan 60°= 1.732

Command : G65 L33 P#1 A1000 B6000
Result : #1 = 1000 ×tan 60°=1732

25. Arctangent

G65 L34 P#i A#j B#k ; #i = Tan-1(#j/#k)

Note: The acquired #i has 5 integers and 2 decimals in format.

For Ex.: #i = Tan-1( 300/300) = 4500 (45O)

Result: When M94, M95 take effect, X10. will Execute 5 times so that it will
stop at X.50 finally.

3.39.2 Auxiliary Function, M-code

M code --- The M-code ranges from 00~99 and each code represents a different
action, as shown in the following:

M00 Program Stop. When the program runs to this point, all
processing actions stop.
Press the "CYCST" key to restart the program from where it stopped.

M01 Optional Stop.

See more details in Sec.6 of Chap 8.

M02 Program End.

M30 Program Finished. Its function is the same as M02.

M98 Subprogram Call.

M99 Subprogram End.

Except for the above M-codes that cannot be changed, customers may define
other M-codes in the PLC if required. Attention should be paid to the following:

1. For all Mxxx codes, the controller will send the M-code Strobe signal (S024)
to the PLC. (Except for the default settings, including M02, M30, M99, M100,
M01)
2. For M000 ~ M499, the controller will not Execute the next command until the
PLC sends the M-code finished signal (C032 OOFF) to the controller. For the
Mxxx code of M5000 ~ M999, it continues to Execute the next command,
even if the signal is not sent.
S code--- The auxiliary function S-code is used to control the rpm of the
spindle. The maximum setting is S999999.

Ex.: S1000 means that the spindle rotates at 1000 rev/min

3.39.3 Subprogram

If a program or command group requires repeated execution, you can store the
program or command group in memory as a subprogram. This can simplify the
design of the program and make the structure of the main program more succinct.
The subprogram can be executed during automatic operation, and a subprogram
can call another subprogram.

Subprogram Structure

The structure of the subprogram is pretty much the same as the main program
except that the subprogram ends with M99.

PROGRAM 05 .....Subprogram code

................ Program content
................ Program content
M99 ..... Subprogram end.

If the subprogram is not called by the main program but executed by directly
pressing "CYCST", it stops after Executing 8,000,000 times.

 Chapter IV Tool Compensation

4 Tool Compensation

The tool compensations of HUST H8-M CNC have two types. The
compensation data are stored in #7060~#7459 and the wear data are saved
in #7460~#7859. Up to 40 sets of tool compensation data can be stored in
each item. These data can be called by G41, G42, G43, G44 commands.
Use G40, G49 to cancel the compensation if required.

1. Tool radius compensation

To compensate the error in X- or Y-axis resulting from tool radius.

2. Tool length compensation

To compensate the error in the tool axis (Z-axis) resulting from
differences in tool lengths.

The G41, G42, G43, G44, G40, and G49 tool compensation commands
involve both declaration and moving actions. Particular attention
should be paid when using CAD/CAM to convert the program.

X, Y : Insert the coordinates of tool radius compensation.

The tool size of a milling machine varies significantly from 1mm to 50mm,
and the tool radius compensation G41, G42 can be used to ensure that the
tool cuts along the profile of the design plan.
Whether G41 or G42 is used depends on the relative position between the
tool direction and the tool-tip. To the direction of the arrow in Fig. 4-1,
G42 is used when the central point of the tool radius is located at the right
side of the tool path (radius offset to the right). G41 is used when the
central point radius is located at the left side of the tool path (radius offset
to the left). G41 and G42 are Model G-codes and can only be cancelled
using G40.

Execution of Tool Wear Compensation

Tool radius wear compensation is executed in the same way that the tool
radius compensation is. When the G41/G42 command is calling the tool
number for radius compensation using the D-code, the HUST controller
simultaneously selects the radius and wear compensation values for the
called toll number and compensation of the program.

Ex.: The D3 tool compensation value is

4-3
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

Radius compensation=2.000 mm radius wear compensation=-0.010mm

Tool radius compensation=2.000-0.010=1.990mm
Please note that the radius wear compensation value is input with a (-) sign.

4.1.1 The Initial Setting of the Tool Radius Compensation

When G41, G42 are executed, the tool will make a linear motion to the X,
Y coordinatesspecified in the G41, G42 blocks at G01 speed. When
reaching the specified X, Y coordinates, the tool-tip will shift at a distance
equivalent to the tool radius. The start setting of the G41, G42 commands
are only available in the G00 or G01 linear cutting model. The system will
send an error message if it is executed in the G02, or G03 arc cutting mode.
A simple description of the tool start setting function is given below:
1. Tool radius compensation is executed when the tool travels from A to
B. Insertion of the radius compensation is complete at B.

4.1.2 Relationship between Radius Compensation and Tool

Path

G41, G42 are Modal G-code command, so when the insertion of the G41,
G42 in the tool path is complete and before they are cancelled by G40, the
tool-tip does a vector offset to the amount of the tool radius value “r” along
the program path. Calculation of the path is executed automatically for the
tool-tip path. When the direction of the program path changes, the path of
the tool-tip also changes and special attention must be paid to the corner of
the changed path. Different corners are described as follows:

1 Inside corner (θ≦180°)

A small part of the work-piece can’t be cut from the inside corner (Fig
4-40, P Point).

G01 Program Path

P Fig. 4-4

2 Outside corner (θ≦180°)

The tool-tip moves in an arc motion (Fig. 4-5, P point) along the corner
to create a new path. In this case, it is the proper cutting along the corner.
A B

P
G01 Program Path Fig. 4-5

If the angle is convex as shown in Fig 4-6, the corner cut is correct
while the correctness of cutting on the inside corner depends on the
distance from the opening C. If the distance is less than the tool
diameter, no cutting is possible. If it is greater than the tool diameter, the
tool cuts toward the inside corner, part of the work-piece cannot be cut
in the sharp inside corner.

3. Compensation Direction Change
H8-M does not accept the direct change of compensation direction from
G41 to G42 or from G42 to G41. Where changing of the direction is
required, the compensation must be cancelled using G40 before the
direction can be changed.
4. Tool Radius Change
Like the direction change, H8-M does not accept the direct change from
one tool number to another for radius compensation. Where changing of
the tool number is required, the compensation must be cancelled using
G40 before the tool number can be changed.
4.1.3 Tool Radius Compensation – Cancellation
Once G41 or G42 is executed successfully, G40 command must be used to
cancel the tool radius compensation. The movement during the cancellation
of the radius compensation can only be executed in the G00 or G01 mode.
G40 is not directly available for G02, G03 blocks and the cancellation can
be executed only after the arc cutting is executed successfully. Below are
some examples of the cancellation of the tool radius compensation.

4.1.4 Notes on Tool Radius Compensation

1. When cutting around an inside corner, the arc radius of the inside corner
must be equal to or greater than the tool radius (r). Otherwise an alarm
will generate an alarm signal. The arc cutting around an outside corner
is not subject to this regulation.
2. G41, G42 commands are not applicable to canned cycles
(G80~G89).They must be cancelled using G40 before a canned cycle
can be executed.
3. Where an arc cutting command exists during the tool radius
compensation (G41,42), the writing method of the radius value “R” is
applicable.
4. Where multiple axes are controlled simultaneously, the tool radius
compensation of the HUST H8-M is only valid on the X, Y plane not on
the Z- axis.
5. The tool radius compensation function is not available for MDI
operation.
6. When cutting a stepwise work-piece with a step value smaller than the
tool radius, over-cutting many occur as shown in Figure 4-9.

4.2 Tool length compensation, G43,G44,G49

Tool length compensation is available for the position of Z-axis to correct
the error of the tool length. There are up to 40 sets of tool compensation
data.
Format:

or G43(G44) H_____ Length compensation setting
G49 Length compensation
cancellation
Z : Initial compensation coordinates
H : Tool number for which the length compensation is executed.1~40,
When G43 is executed, the controller selects the specified compensation
value and adds it directly to the Z-axis.
When G44 is executed, the controller selects the specified compensation
value and adds it to the Z-axis for compensation after changing direction.
Compensation direction is defined based on the direction of the Z-axis. A
positive compensation means that the tool moves positively along the Z-
axis after compensation. A negative compensation means that the tool
moves negatively along the Z-axis after compensation.The relationship
between the compensation direction and the positive/negative value of the
length compensation under the G43/G44 command is described as follows:
MCM, positive value MCM, negative value
G43 Positive compensation Negative compensation
G44 Negative compensation Positive compensation

Delete a Program

In “Program Selector” mode, move the cursor to the program to be deleted

and press the Delete key . The following message displays:

DELTET PROGRAM?(Y/N)

Fig. 6-8

At this time, press the Y key to delete the program O01. When you press
the N key, no action will be performed.

To delete all programs 0~999. Procedure:

Enter MDI mode, and execute the G10 P2001 command.
Then the contents of all programs are cleared immediately.

Note: After the procedure is complete, all program data in the memory will
be erased. Therefore, never perform this action unless required.

6.4. Program Editing in Tutorial Mode

In Edit mode, it is sometimes difficult to get the positioning coordinate (X,

Y) through mathematical operation. A solution to this is to move the
workpiece or tool to the desired coordinate with the MPG and press “Enter”.

Although like Edit Mode, the Tutorial Mode uses different methods to enter
coordinates. A coordinate is directly entered in Edit Mode while a
coordinate is obtained through MPG in Tutorial Mode. In addition, the
functions of the keys, such as Insert , Enter , and Delete , are the same.

The reader should note that in Turtorial Mode, the work coordinate will be
entered into the program once the Enter key is pressed. To avoid errors, it

6-8
 Chapter VI Program Editing

is preferable to edit the entire program in Tutorial Mode if you have started
editing in this mode.

Procedure:

1. Turn the knob to “Tutorial ” Mode.

2. Use the Insert and Enter keys to enter the relevant commands.
3. Use the MPG, or axis selection & JOG+(JOG-) keys to move the
workpiece or tool to the desired coordinate and press the Enter key.
4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 until the creation of the program is completed.

Ex.: G01 X100.000 (100.000 Use the MPG to enter the coordinate)
M02

1. Enter Tutorial Mode.

2. Enter
G 0 1 Insert
3. Use MPG to move the workpiece or tool to 100.000 and press the INPUT
key.
4. Enter
M 0 2 Insert

6.5 Entering Decimal Points

A command value is entered in either integer or decimal format with a

maximum of 7 digits. You cannot enter a decimal point for a command that
requires an integer input, so that no problem will occur when you enter the
command value. You can insert a decimal point at the specified position for
a command that requires a decimal input. The input will be correct after
being internally processed by the control unit. An error may occur when an
integer is entered for a command that needs a decimal input.This will be
further explained in the following paragraphs.

The HUST H8-M Series CNC allows customers to set the decimal format
in variables according to their needs. Once the decimal format is set, the
system will operate with the settings after each power-on. The settings can
be changed in cariables #8300~#8326 if necessary. In HUST H8-M Series
CNC, there are the following decimal formats available: 34 (four decimal
places), 43 (three decimal places), 52 (two decimal places), and 61 (one
decimal place).Take 4/3 format as an example. The 4/3 format indicates the
system allows up to a 4-digit integer with up to 3 decimal places. If the
number of digits exceeds 4, the format will convert to 70 format. But 3
decimal places will be included after internal processing.

6-9
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

When an integer is entered for a command (such as X, Y, I, J) that requires

a decimal input, the control unit automatically puts a decimal point at the
position specified in the given format.The table below shows the validated
values after the internal processing of the control unit.

Input 3/4 Format 4/3 Format 5/2 Format 6/1 Format

X2 X0.0002 mm X0.002 mm X0.02 mm X0.2 mm
Y250 Y0.0250 mm Y0.250 mm Y2.50 mm Y25.0 mm
Z35 Z0.0035 mm Z0.035 mm Z0.35 mm Z3.5 mm
U2500 U0.2500 mm U2.500 mm U25.00 mm U250.0 mm
V25. V25.0000 mm V25.000 mm V25.00 mm V25.0 mm
W125. V125.0000 mm W125.000 mm W125.00 mm W125.0 mm
F300 F300 mm/min F300 mm/min F300 mm/min F300 mm/min

For commands that require a decimal input, the entered integer will be
changed by the control unit, though the value actually entered by the
operator is shown on the screen. The user should pay attention to this. To
avoid errors, it is recommended to enter data with a decimal point. The "0"
after the decimal point can be omitted. The integer codes, such as G, M, N,
S, are not affected.

G, M, N, S codes: Variables Integer input.

X, Y, Z, U, V, W, I, J code Decimal input.
F code Integer input.

Suggestion: To avoid confusion, except for G, M, N, and S, all other

commands require a decimal input. the "0" after the decimal
point can be omitted.

6.6 Editing Notes

Block (Program) Serial number

1. The letter N of the block serial number can be omitted if necessary.

2. The number after N is only a symbol. The blocks are sorted in editing
order rather than by value.
For instance, if N35 is inserted behind N30, the order is:

Program 1

6 - 10
 Chapter VI Program Editing

N2 G0 X0. Y0. ……First block

N20 G4 X1. ……Second block
N30 U480. V-480. ……Third block
N35 U20. V-20. ……Fourth block
N40 G4 X1. ……Fifth block
N50 M99 ……Sixth block

If the block serial number N35 is changed to N350, the program

execution order remains the same.

3. The serial number of a block number is edited in the form of a "string".

That is to say, N10, N010, N0010 represent different block serial
numbers and a complete string must be entered to search a block serial
number.

Block
1. Do not use two G-codes in the same block.
(This rule is not applied if the program codes are converted using
CAD/CAM)

2. Do not repeat any coordinate code of a command, such as X, Y, Z, U, V,

I W, J and R, in the same block.

3. If you specify absolute coordinates and incremental coordinates for the

same axis in a block, only the incremental coordinates will be executed.
Example:

G1 X100. U50. ------ Only U50 will be executed.

4. A maximum of 64 characters can be entered in a bock, or the Err-18

message displays.

7 MCM Parameter Settings

7.1 MCM Parameter Setting

The MCM parameter setting function allows the user to define the system constants of
the controller according to mechanical specifications and machining conditions. The
correct and proper setting of these constants is important in the operation of the
mechanical system and fabrication of the work-piece. Make sure that the setting is
correct. Press Reset to restart the machine when the MCM parameter has been set
successfully.
The MCM parameters are stored in variables 7000 ~ 9999.
Variable #7000 = parameter #0

How to Read and Change MCM parameters:

(1) Directly Change from CNC:

1. Enter “M9998” in MDI mode and press “Execute”, as shown in Fig. 7-1:
2. Switch to JOG mode and press Tool Length Compensation. The MCM will then
appear at the bottom of the screen. Press F3 to show the Parameter Setting List for
modification.
3. To change all parameters, press “Page Down” when the Parameter Setting List is
displayed, and All MCM appears. Press All MCM to change all parameters.

Fig. 7-1
*M9998 is disabled after emergency stop or power off.
(2) Change via Upload from RS232C:
Use the transmission software to send parameters to the PC for saving as a text file.
Change the parameters with PE2, HE, or other document processing software and
transmit them back to the CNC. Refer to Chapter IX for detailed information.

Reset all MCM parameters to factory default settings.

Enter MDI mode and execute the command G10 P1000.

X-axis resolution denominator (#9001) = 10

X-axis resolution numerator (#9000) = 1

The maximum feed rate is calculated as follows:

Fmax = 0.95 x RPM (the maximum rpm of the servomotor) x Pitch (ball
screw pitch) ÷ GR
（Value Recommended for Use）
Ex: The highest rotation speed of the servomotor on X-axis is 3000 rpm, the ball
screw pitch is 5mm. And GR = 5:1 (Servomotor rotates 5 turns = ball screw
rotates 1 turn)
Fmax ＝ 0.95 × 3000 × 5 ÷ 5 ＝ 2850

4.1 The compensation segment length is the total length of the ball-screw divided by
the number of segments.
Ex.: The total length of the X-axis ball screw is 1m(1000mm), which is to be
divided into 10 compensation segments.

1000 mm

100mm
The average length of each segment is 100mm and the setting of MCM #7901
X=100.000. The compensation of each segment is determined by MCM
#7902~#7999.

4.2 If the length of a compensation segment is less than 20 mm, it will be set to 20
mm.

4.3 The HUST H8-M uses an average compensation approach and sets up 8 points for
each segment length as a basis for compensation. The compensation for each
point is 1/8th of the parameters in MCM #7902~#7999. The value of the
compensation is an integer, with μm as its unit. The remainder of the 1μm will
be added into the next point for compensation.

7 - 17
HUST H8-M Operator’s Manual

Ex.: The X-axis is divided into 10 segments for compensation and the average
length of each segment is 100 mm. Compensation setting: MCM #7902 =
0.026 mm; the average compensation of each point = 0.026/8=0.00325mm.
The compensation for the eight points in the first segment is described in
the following table:

Aggregated
Compensation Tool position, Avg. comp. of Actual comp. of
compensation,
point mm each point, mm each point, mm
mm
1 12.5 0.00325 0.003 0.003
2 25 0.00325 0.003 0.006
3 37.5 0.00325 0.003 0.009
4 50 0.00325 0.004 0.013
5 62.5 0.00325 0.003 0.016
6 75 0.00325 0.003 0.019
7 87.5 0.00325 0.003 0.022
8 100 0.00325 0.004 0.026

The compensation value is incremental, and is either positive or negative. If the

number of segments is less than 98, all other parameters must be set to zero.

Ex.: There are only 10 compensation segments. Therefore, compensation from

#11 to #98 (#7912~7999 for X-axis, #8012~8099 for Y-axis, # 8122~8199
for Z-axis, and #8222~8299 for A-axis) must be set to zero (0).

16 #8340 IN POSITION SET. (UNIT: pulses)
In non-stop mode, it indicates in-position settings between blocks.
A higher setting value will lead to a slight speed variation between blocks. In this
case, the operation is smoother at the cost of precision.
A lower setting value will lead to a large speed variation between blocks. Precision
gains at the cost of speed.
This setting should be used with the Master/Slave mode settings (MCM8336 = 256).

time will be twice the linear acceleration/deceleration time.

26 #8351 Arc cutting error

Range: 1~32

The smaller the value is, the more precise

the arc will be.

Arc cutting error

For arc cutting, the ideal cutting path is an arc, but actually the motor moves along
the arc chord (a straight line). Therefore, the cutting error must be taken into
account when arc cutting is required.

The smaller the value is, the more precise the arc will be. The ideal value is 1.
However, sometimes the motor cannot operate if the value is not greater than 1,
resulting in a greater cutting error.

Only one of the four values can be used for MCM # #9040~#9047.

Note:
The setting of the multiplication factor is dependent on the rigidity of the
structure. Vibration of the motor during feeding of power to the structure
suggests that the rigidity of the structure is too high. This can be corrected by
reducing the multiplication factor of the axis concerned.

Example: The servomotor encoder pulses at 2000 per rotation. When MCM
#161 is set to 2, the pulses of Y-axis are 2000 x 2 = 4000.

The maximum feed rate is calculated as follows:

Fmax = 0.95 × RPM (the maximum rpm of the servomotor) x Pitch (ball
screw pitch) ÷ GR
（Value Recommended for Use）

Ex: The max. X-axis servo motor rpm is 3000 with a 5mm pitch and GR = 5:1
(Servomotor rotates 5 turns = ball screw rotates 1 turn)
Fmax ＝ 0.95 × 3000 × 5 ÷ 5 ＝ 2850
Recommended setting: 2850

Second velocity: The second velocity of X, Y, and Z is set to 1/4 of the first velocity
when it drops to 0. The direction is set in #9200~#9207.
Third velocity: This velocity is the encoder homing grid velocity and is set in
MCM#9220~#9227. The direction is set in #9200~#9207.

When the tool returns to home, the machine moves to the limit switch at the first
velocity; the length of the limit switch must be greater than the distance
required for deceleration. Otherwise the machine will run over the limit switch
and result in a homing error.

The equation to calculate the length of the limit switch is:

Length of limit switch t (FDCOM × ACC) ÷ 60000

Note: c FDCOM = Homing velocity 1, (#9180~#9187)

d ACC = G01 accel./decel. time (MCM #8346)
e 60000 msec ( 60 secs × 1000 = 60000 msec )

Ex.: FDCOM, the homing velocity 1 = 3000 mm / min

ACC, accel/decel time = 100 ms
Minimal Length of Limit Switch = (3000 × 100) ÷ 60000 = 5 mm

8.6. I/O Interface Connection Overview

The input signal is transmitted to the control unit from an

external machine through the button, limit switch, relay board contact, or
proximity switch. The output signal is transmitted to the external machine
from the control unit. The output circuit of the HUST H8-M Series is a
transistor circuit with open collectors, which is used to drive the relay or
LED of the machine.

The +24V power used by the I/O interface should be provided

externally.

The I/O interface can be connected by one of the following two methods:

(1) I/O devices are directly controlled by the controller.

(2) I/O devices are controlled by the controller via an input / output board
(output relay board).

I. 3 types of input boards are available.

1. Input board with conventional terminal (PC board number: AB058)

2. Modular input board with conventional terminal (PC board number:
IO\PIO\TB_V02_DI S/N: AB208)
3. Input board with CE compliant terminal (PC board number: NPNI_21
S/N: AB146)

II. 4 types of output boards are available.

1. Output board with conventional terminal (PC board number: AB055)

2. Modular output board with conventional terminal (PC board number:
O\PIO\TB_V02_DO S/N: AB209)
3. 16-channel relay output board with CE-compliant terminal (PC board
number: NPNO_2 S\N: AB147)
4. 4-channel relay output board with CE-compliant terminal (PC board

* Notes for 4-channel Output Board with CE Compliant Terminal

1. The 24V voltage contacts should be connected to +24V power input 1 or

+24V power input 2. When using 24V voltage for input, the +24V
output voltage will appear on each set of the output terminals marked
with ☉+24V.

2. The output signals are standard NPN +24V

+24V
type. Do not connect +24V power Oxx Power
input to the output pins because of the
voltage on these pins.

3. For output devices, conduction +24

between the ☉ Oxx point and 24V +24V

GND is performed when the output Oxx

24VGND
pin ☉+24V connected the power O
point is ON.

4. There are 4 special type dry contacts,

including O12 ~ O15, on the output NO13 O13 ON Conduction
board. For these 4 contacts, COM13 O13 OFF Not Conduction

conduction is performed between ☉ +24V ------ 24V Voltage Output

N013 and ☉COM13, not 24VGND.

Therefore, utilize this output terminal
if the output device uses another
signal type (not +24V signals). Note
that only dry contacts are available
when developing I/O signal
definitions.

8.10.Emergency Stop Circuit

When the CNC controller is energized, it takes 100 ms for its electrical
components to become stabilized. Never turn on the servo motor during
this unstable 100ms interval.

Fig. 8-24 shows the emergency stop circuit. The figure shows that the
controller will switch to the Emergency Stop mode, and that the Servo-on
switch will be turned on when the limit switch is attained or the E-Stop key
is pressed. For safety reasons, the E-stop key, limit switch, and E-Stop
Relay must be connected in series, and the Servo-Release Button and limit
switch (OT or Overtravel) must be connected in parallel. The
normal-closed type E-Stop and OT switch should be used.

3. Relay A and B are outputs of the two PLCs (OUTPUT).

4. Relay C is generally a multi-contact relay. Each driver requires an
independent contact and a parallel connection, because multiple
drivers are not allowed since some drivers cannot be connected in
parallel for use.

11.1 How to Chose a Servo Motor with Appropriate Inertia
Choosing a servo motor with appropriate inertia.
As shown in servo motor catalogues, the maximum JM setting can be 10
times greater than JL
According to an experienced rule of thumb, the JM setting is 5 times greater
than JL
JM = Motor inertia (refer to servo motor catalogues)
JL = Load inertia (refer to the formula described in the next section)
ÖActually, the motor will operate slowly when JM is 10 times greater than
JL; hence it is set to a value that is 5 times less.

11.2 How to Choose the Appropriate Motor For Your Needs

Conditions: Maximum load radius, minimum radius, load weight, and
speed (mm/min)

Ex.:
How to choose a winding machine; aluminum foil is used for the
tension motor
Known conditions:
Outer diameter of aluminum foil: 240mm
Inner circle diameter: 40mm 40 mm 240 mm
Weight: 15kg
Maximum winding speed: 20m/min

Calculation:
Rotary inertia during loading Formula: 1/2 MR2 M (mass) R(radius)
Result: 1/2 ×15 × (12)2＝1080 Kg.cm2
(Rotor inertia)
[Inertia can be reduced by utilizing the gear ratio, as the rotary inertia (rotor
inertia) is too high.]
Minimum Circumference x Rotational Speed (rpm) = Distance
Minimum Radius ＝40 mm ÷2＝20 mm
Minimum Circumference 2 ×3.1416 ×20＝125.66 mm
125.66 mm ×rpm＝20000 mm rpm＝159.159
[It is assumed that the gear ratio is 6 : 1 (the motor rotates 6 turns while
the aluminum foil rotates 1 turn)]
1080 Kg.cm2 ÷62 (Gear Ratio)2＝30 Kg.cm2 (Rotor Inertia)

Take the YE LI motor as an example (refer to the YE LI motor standard

specifications for information about rotor inertia)
Note: The rotor inertia that the YE LI and MITSUBISHI brands can
withstand is up to 5 times greater than the original inertia.

Since it is not suitable for a low-inertia motor to work with inertia that is 5
times greater than the original inertia, we choose a medium-inertia motor.
A medium-inertia 1 KW motor, which rotates at 2000 rpm, has a rotor
inertia of 7.82 Kg.cm2.
7.82 Kg.cm2 ×5＝39.1 Kg.cm2. 39.1 Kg.cm2＞30 Kg.cm2
159.159 (rpm) ×6 (gear ratio) ＝ 955 rpm 2000 rpm＞955 rpm ×2
[The maximum rotational speed (rpm) of the tension motor (approximately

11 - 4
 Chapter XI Attachment A

twice its normal speed) can be used as the following speed, as the
following feed of the motor should be taken into account.]

Therefore, we choose a medium-inertia 1 KW motor

11.3 How to Calculate the Amperage of a Transformer

A 400W motor.
If the actual efficiency is 100%, the motor has 400VA (volt-ampere): 400 ÷
1 = 400VA.
If the actual efficiency is 90%, the motor has 444VA (volt-ampere): 400 ÷
1 = 444VA.
Power formula: P = V (voltage) x I (current)
Amperage Calculation

Wattage (W) Voltage (220) Calculation Amperage

300VA 1-phase 3000VA÷220V 13.63
300VA 3-phase 3000VA÷[ 3 ×220] 7.87

Example:

Power required by a winding machine

1. 400W Motor x 9 = 3600w
2. 750W Motor x 2 = 1500w
3. One spot welding machine 4A [24V×4A = 96W]
4. Born off .3A .35V[35V×3A = 105W]
5. Two controllers [5V×3A×2 = 30W]
6. One 24V power [24V×8A = 192W]
One 5V±12 power [5V×3 = 15W]

[3600W＋1500W＋96W＋105W＋30W＋192W＋15W]× 1.5 ＝8307VA

8307 = 1.732 (3-phase voltage) VI
= 8307 ÷[1.732 × 415 (according to your local voltage) ]≒ 11.55A

Note: 1mm2 electric wire can withstand currents of 8A.

12.3 Servo spindle applicaion

Setting: 1.Enter the parameter page 2 and set “Spindle Type” to 1 (Servo).
(For details, refer to chapter VII)
2. The “Spindle Direction” option can be used to change the
spindle direction when the direction is wrong.
3. For H8CM, if the servo is used as spindle, the actual position of
the spindle will be used as the zero point during each startup.
When the spindle is receiving a stop command, it will stop at
this point. Therefore, this point can be set in “In-position angle
at the stop of the spindle” or execute G15 Rxx in MDI mode to
define the spindle position.

Ex.: If G15 R90 is typed, the in-position angle will be 90

degrees.

Description setting of H8 servo main shaft original point:
Setting procedure:
1. Enter parameter table and set related parameter setting of V axis. (Enter
parameter table, please see description on Page 7-1 of the manual.)
Parameters that must be included in the setting:
MCM#9014 V axis resolution denominator
MCM#9015 V axis resolution numerator
Find GRID point distance on MCM#9247 V axis. (If it could not be found in
setting value, DRID will show ERR26 mesasge.)
MCM#9267 V HOME LIMIT IPPUT NO (preset at 8) .
MCM#9287 V axis original point is deviated. Setting is required only when
deviation of original point is used for positioning of main axis.
Other V-axis related setting shall be revised and programmed depending on
requirements.
2. Main axis setting closed circuit control (MCM#8353=1).
3. Turn knob to original point mode.
4. F3 will show optional functions of main axis original point as shown below.
(Main axis will appear only in closed circuit.)

5. Press F3 to execute main axis original point action.

6. When the screen shows MESSAGE 6 and ROM READ WRITE END, it
indicates completion of action.

Description of main axis positioning method:
After main axis has completed returning to original point action, and the command to
stop M05 main axis is given, it will set the position according to the positioning angle
setting of main axis.
How to revise setting value:
1. Before main axis original point is completed, enter Page 2 of MCM parameter
setting, to revise setting of main axis positioning angle.
2. After completion of main axis original point action, use G15RXX to set
positioning angle of main axis.
Ex. In MDI mode, input G15R90 to set the positioning angle at 90 degree
position
* When methods 1 and 2 are used to set the position of main axis, the deviation
value of V-axis original point in the parameters should be zero
(MCM#9287=0).
3. In setting V-axis original point deviation, before main axis original point action,
first set the deviation value of original point on V axis, when original point on
main axis is set, the position of V-axis original point deviation is the position to
stop when main axis give M05 command, when position is made for original
point deviation, the aforementioned methods 1 and 2 are not necessary.
Ex: #91014=10000 #9015=36000 #9287=9000 (this setting represents one
circle=36mm each mm=10 degrees)
V axis returns to original point with deviation of 9mm=90 degree position,
when switch back to main axis, main axis will set the 90 degree position
and the stop position for M05 command.
* When original point deviation is used for positioning, parameter positioning
angle setting should be zero. (MCM#9299=R191=0)
※ MESSAGE 6 [main axis close message], because when main axis original point is
acting, PLC will switch between main axis and axial shaft, resulting in temporary
switching off of main axis operation, so it is a normal message, until after main
axis original point operation is completed, switch the image or use replacement to
erase it.
※ Main axis original point operation, after each switching on and completion of
transmission, it is necessary to renew operation once, so positioning point will not
be displaced, after completion of the operation, no operation is necessary.
Execution is needed again after re-starting re-transmission.

12.4 In-position application

Setting:
Master/Slave Mode: Set 265 for non-stop mode (MCM8336)
IN POSITION: unit pulses (MCM8340)
Description:
1. When machining is performed at a short section and a value is set
in IN POSITION, its speed should be set in accordance with the
line section distance between blocks. An unreasonable speed value
will result in a calculation error due to a faster speed value.
Reasonable speed equation:
F=Number of blocks processed by controller per second * Line
section distance between blocks * 60
For H8CM, when three axes operate simultaneously, 200 blocks
can be processed in one second.
Assuming that the average distance between blocks is
approximately 0.01 mm.
Place these values in the above equation: F=200*0.01*60=120 ㎜
/min

2. As shown in the following path and oscillograms, when the

Master/Slave Mode (MCM8336) is set to
256 and IN POSITION (MCM8340) is set to 0 (Fig. 1), X-axis

12-10
 operates smoothly.
When the Master/Slave Mode (MCM8336) is set to 256，and IN
POSITION (MCM8340) is set to 100 (Fig. 2), the next block will
not be performed until the given setting value is reached. At this
time, speed adjustment will be performed and the operation will be
slightly affected with better precision.
