SINUMERIK - G-code & M-codes on Turning

Preparatory
codes / G codes
G stands for ‘Geometric code’. This code is used to instruct the machine where to move, how fast to
move and which path to follow.
G-code is also known as the ‘Preparatory code’, “G” is followed by number which is a command to change
the geometry.

Miscellaneous
functions / M codes
M - code is Machine language code to activate miscellaneous functions.
M stands for ‘Machine codes’. This code is used for non-geometry machine functions like coolant on/off,
spindle speed, tool change, pallet change etc.

List of Miscellaneous functions (M codes)

Sl no Functions

M00 Program stop

M01 Optional stop

M02 Program end

M03 Spindle clockwise direction

M04 Spindle counter clockwise direction

M05 Spindle stop

M06 Tool change

M17 Subprogram end

M19 OR SPOS=0 Spindle orientation

M30 Main program end

Note: Miscellaneous commands are machine manufacturer specific. Contact your machine manufacturer
for more details on M functions.
