System information

SECTION FIVE - MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS (M CODES)
These codes are used if the operator is programming the Centurion 6 in the text mode or MDI
mode. They are also generated from conversation programs. It should be noted that most
programmers – particularly new programmers – use the conversational programming mode. If
you are planning to use text mode programming, pay close attention to this section explaining
these codes. If you are planning to use conversational mode programming, you can ignore or
skim over this section and concentrate on the conversational section.
The Miscellaneous Function codes are one or two digit numbers preceded by the letter M. If the
code is less than 10, zero entry is optional (M02 or M2). These codes are used to perform a
variety of machine and control functions as listed in the following table.
Note: The majority of the M codes that work with I/O are specific to Milltronics machines;
however, they are flexible and can be tailored to specific applications. There may be
several other M codes not listed here that deal with optional features on specific
machines.
