1 Overview

1.1 The ISO programming language

The ISO 6983, also called "ISO code" or "G code", is a standard language for CNC
programming. Although many dialects exist, they all refer to the ISO 6983 standard
which defines the core elements of the language.
The ISO code is a generic language, suitable for programming milling machines,
turning machines and machine tools of manufacturers from all over the world.
The standard language ISO 6983 is not, however, a requirement for use by
manufacturers and other standards are in use, e.g. DIN 66025 and PN-73M-55256
and PN-93/M-55251.
The ISO code easily lends itself to automatic resolution of the geometry of the
plane, programming with virtual entities, parametric programming, tool offset
management with rotating tables/heads, etc.
This manual refers to the KSE-ISO dialect as implemented with the KSE-PCA and
KSE-5V CNCs. For the KSE-3A CNC a reduced set of the ISO functions is also
available.

1.2 Programming fundamentals

P rog r am st ru ct u r e The program structure is based on ISO 6983. A program comprises a complete
sequence of blocks which define the sequence of operations of a machining
process on a numerically controlled machine tool.
A program comprises:
• The character for beginning of program (%)
• A number of blocks
• The end of program block.
The character for beginning of program (%) precedes the first block in the part
program. The character for end of program is contained in the last block of the part
program. Subroutines and cycles can be components of the program. These can
be created either by the machine manufacturer or by KSE.
The ISO interpreter of the CNC reads the entire program and executes a block at a
time, from the Begin to the End of program.

Reference Manual 1
ISO 6983 language for the KSE CNCs

A program can be edited either directly on the CNC or more frequently using a text
editor on a PC. In this case, the program needs to be transferred to the CNC.
Moreover, many CAD programs generate ISO-code that can be directly executed
by the CNC.
Program example:
N00 %100 (Start block)
N05 G0 X0 Y0 Z0 (First block)
N10 G01 X100 Y100 S1000 F250 M03 (Second block)
N15 Z100 (Third block)
N20 G0 Z0 (Fourth block)
M30 (End block)

Blo c k fo r mat A block contains all data required to execute a working step. The block comprises
several functions and the ”Line Feed” character for “end of block”. The block length
is max. 120 characters. The block in its entirety can span over several screen lines.
Blocks can be numbered using the address N followed by number (Nnn) or with the
“:” character. Programming without a block number is possible, but the jump
function can be implemented only by means of block numbers.
Each block must be terminated with the “Line Feed” end-of-block character. This
character does not appear on the screen.
Each block is executed in one single step.
Block example:
N10 G01 F250 X100 Y100 S1000 M03
Com me nts The blocks in a program can be explained by means of comments. Comments
document a program block and are not displayed. A comment must be enclosed in
round brackets "(..)". If the ")" is missing, the comment reaches the end of the
block. No percentage characters ”%” or additional brackets ”( )” are permitted
within the comment. Comments must not be located between the address and a
digit or between a function and the associated value.
Funct ion s A function is an element of a block. It comprises a key character and a string of
digits. The key character is a letter. The string of digits can include signs and
decimal points. A sign is written between the address letters and the string of
digits. A positive sign can be omitted
Function example:

G01 G = Function address

01 = Function value

The effective order of execution of the functions within a block is established at

run-time by the ISO interpreter.
M odal fun ct ion s Functions can be modal and non-modal. The effects of modal functions remain
valid during and after the execution of the current block. To alter or stop a modal
function, a new command of the same type is required.
Non-modal functions remain valid only for the duration of the current block. No
further commands are required to modify or stop a non-modal function.

2 Axes functions

Functions for axes movement require the following parameters:

 Axis to move (defined by function address)

 Axis target position (defined by function value)
 Axis speed (defined by other functions)
Functions address. Each function address is axis-specific:

 X X axis
 Y Y Axis
 Z Z Axis
 B B Axis
 C C Axis
 Q Q Axis
 W W Axis
The function value defines the target position (absolute/incremental). Values can
be expressed as integers (positive and negative) and floating point values.
E xa mpl e: X200 Y55.787 Z-80

Positions are expressed in mm for linear axes, and degrees for rotating axes.
The axis speed is defined with the F function, and can only be positive. Speed is
expressed as mm/min for linear axes, and as rpm for rotating axes.
E xa mpl e: F1000, F550.

The X, Y, …, W and F functions do not define the motion mode (linear/circular

interpolation, spindle synchronization). The motion mode is defined using the G
preparatory functions.
The X, Y, …, W functions are non-modal.
The F function is modal, i.e. once defined, the speed remains in use also in the
following blocks.
Not es: With KSE CNCs, the programmed speed can be overridden using the control panel
commands.

Reference Manual 5
ISO 6983 language for the KSE CNCs

3 Spindle functions

Spindle functions start and stop the spindle, define the spindle speed and change
the spindle position.
Starting a spindle requires the following data:

 direction of rotation (clockwise/counterclockwise)

 speed of rotation (in rpm)
Moving the spindle (changing the spindle orientation) requires a specific command
(M19).
Functions:

 M3 rotate spindle clockwise

 M4 rotate spindle counterclockwise
 M5 stop the spindle
 M19 move the spindle
The spindle speed is programmed with the S function. With the M3 and M4
functions, the S function value can assume only positive integers (in rpm).
E xa mpl e: S500, S1000, S3000

Sp ind le po si t io n: The spindle position is programmed with the M19 function. With the M19 function,
the S function defines the new spindle orientation in degrees. In this case, the
function values can be both integers (positive and negative) and floating point.
E xa mpl e: S200, S90, S-45.50.

The M3, M4, M5 functions are modal and each cancels the others.
The S function is modal, both for speed and orientation.
The M19 function is non-modal. After an M19 function, the spindle always stops
(the M5 function is not required). The M19 default speed is defined within the
System Data, and cannot be changed by the program. The M19 function can be
called both when the spindle is idle and when it is spinning. Calling the M19
function with a spinning spindle is called an oriented stop.
Not es: The change in the spindle orientation is available only for machines equipped with
a dedicated encoder. The change of spindle orientation is required for tools change
and rigid tapping.

With the KSE CNCs, the M19 speed can be overridden using specific control panel
commands.
E xa mpl e: N10 M3 S200 (Start clockwise rotation, speed 200 rpm)
N20 M4 (Invert rotation, maintain speed of 200 rpm)

Reference Manual 6
ISO 6983 language for the KSE CNCs

N30 M19 S45 (Stop spindle with an 45° angle)

N40 M3 (Start clockwise rotation, 200 rpm speed)
N50 S500 (Change speed to 500 rpm)
N60 M5 (Stop spindle)
N70 M19 (Change spindle orientation 45° angle)
N70 M4 (Start clockwise rotation, 500 rpm speed)
N80 M19 S90 (Oriented stop with 90° orientation)

Au x il i ar y sp ind l es The KSE-ISO can manage up to four spindles. The first spindle is also called the
main spindle; all others spindles are called auxiliary or secondary spindles. The
following functions have been introduced for the management of auxiliary spindles.
M2=3 2nd spindle clockwise start
M2=4 2nd spindle counterclockwise start
M2=5 Stop the 2nd spindle
M2=19 Move the 2ns spindle
S2=… Set the new speed/angle of the 2nd spindle
M3=3 3rd spindle clockwise start
M3=4 3rd spindle counterclockwise start
M3=5 Stop the 3rd spindle
M3=19 Move the 3rd spindle
S3=… Set the speed/angle of the 3rd spindle
M4=3 4th spindle clockwise start
M4=4 4th spindle counterclockwise start
M4=5 Stop the 4th spindle
M4=19 Move the 4th spindle
S4=… Set the new speed/angle of the 4th spindle

Note: The Mx and Sx functions can also be used with the main spindle:
M1=3 Main spindle clockwise start
M1=4 Main spindle counterclockwise start
M1=5 Stop the main spindle
M1=19 Move the main spindle
S1=… Set the speed/angle of the main spindle

4 Preparatory functions

Preparatory functions (G functions) specify the details of other commands, as axes

motion (linear/circular interpolation, spindle synchronization…), work plane,
position change (absolute/incremental).
Within a block, only one G function is allowed. G functions can be both modal and
non-modal. For each group of G functions, a default modal function is defined and
active in a program.
The following table lists the KSE-ISO G functions. Default functions are highlighted
in red. Details of each G function are given in the next pages.

4.1 Rapid traverse

The G00 function defines the tool's rapid traverse and is used to move the tool to a
given position. The target position is the function value. The target position can be
either absolute or incremental (see G90, G91 functions).
The tool is moved at the fastest speed, moving the axis/axes in a straight line. No
work is executed during the G00 command.
The rapid traverse can be programmed on multiple axes (1 to 8 for the KSE PCA,
and 1 to 5 for the KSE 5V). In this case, the slowest axis sets the overall speed
(see also G01: Linear motion).
With the G00 command, the F command is suspended, and is restored when the
G00 function is cancelled (e.g. with the G01 command).

ISO 6983 language for the KSE CNCs

4.2 Linear interpolation

The tool's movements in a straight line (linear interpolation) are programmed with
the G01 function. The target position is the function value. Target position can be
either absolute or incremental (see G90, G91 functions).
The axes for the linear interpolation are defined in the target position. For instance:
G01 X20 Y30 interpolate the X e Y axes, G01 Y50 Z80 B15 interpolates the Y, Z, e
B axes.
The KSE-PCA can interpolate up to 8 axes. The KSE 5V can interpolate up to 5
axes.
The speed v is defined with the F function; v is the magnitude of the axes velocity:

v = √𝑣𝑥2 + 𝑣𝑦2 + ⋯ + 𝑣𝑤2 , 𝑣𝑥 = x-axis velocity,…

4.3 Circular interpolation

Circular interpolation is programmed with the G02 and G03 functions. Circular
interpolation defines the tool movements on a arc of a circle. The following data are
required:

 Direction (clockwise/counterclockwise)
 Target position
 Circle radius
 Speed
The direction is defined with the following functions:

 G02 clockwise
 G03 counterclockwise
The target position is assigned for each pair of the required axes (XY, ZX, YZ, XB,
BC, …).
The circle radius r is defined with the U function. To define the desired circle, the
following rule applies:

 radius r > 0: shortest arc (angle < 180°)

 radius r < 0: longest arc (angle > 180°).
When start position = end position, no interpolation is performed. In order to obtain
a full circle, two interpolations of half circle each are required.
The speed v is defined with the F function; v is the magnitude of the axes velocity.

4.4 Dwell time

The dwell time is programmed with the G04 function, and requires the X or F
functions for the effective dwell time definition.
Dwell time is defined:

 with the X function for values in the 0.001s to 99999.999s range

 with the F function for values in the 0.001s to 99.999s range
The G04 function is non-modal. No other functions are allowed within the block
containing the G04 function.

ISO 6983 language for the KSE CNCs

4.5 Work plane selection

The work plane is programmed with the G16..G19 functions. Tool radius and
length depend on the selected work plane. The work plane selection is defined by:

 G16 default work plane (as defined in system data

 G17 XY plane
 G18 ZX plane
 G19 YZ plane
The tool radius adjustment is defined on the working plane axes, while the tool
length adjustment is defined on the axis perpendicular to the work plane.

Plane Radius adjustment Length adjustment

XY (G17) X+Y Z
ZX (G18) Z+X Y
YZ (G19) Y+Z X

The default work plane is given by the G16 function and is defined within the
System Data. The work plane can be defined with the X, Y, and Z axis only.

Reference Manual 15
ISO 6983 language for the KSE CNCs

4.6 Constant pitch threading

Not e: Threading requires a position encoder in order to control the spindle speed.

Threading is programmed with the G33 function. The following thread types are
available:

 Cylinder thread (1)

 Radial thread (2)
 Cone thread (3)

The starting/ending positions and the threading pitch depend on the thread type
and on the work plane.

ZX X+K K if α  45°; I if α ≥ 45°
YZ Z+J J if α  45°; K if α ≥ 45°

Before using the G33 function, the tool needs to be moved to the starting point,
and the spindle needs to be started with the M3/M4 functions. The spindle speed is
set with the S function. Axis and spindle zero offsets are coupled with the G33
function.
The G33 function is modal, and is cancelled by another G-group function (G0, G1,
G2, G3,...).
Cut di r ect ion The threading direction is defined with the M3 (clockwise) and M4
(counterclockwise) functions. The spindle speed is defined with the S function.
Ax i s spe ed The axis speed depends on the spindle speed and on the thread pitch. The F
function is ignored, but remains in memory. An alarm is raised if the maximum
speed defined within the System Data is exceeded.

4.7 Select zero offset

A workpiece's offset is programmed with the G54…G57 functions; a workpiece's

offset is always related to the system's origin.
Using the zero offset functions, the same program can be used on different
workpieces without the need to duplicate program parts (different offsets can be
required for different blocking tools).

For each axis, 8 zero offsets values can be defined:

 G54 coarse
 G254 fine
 G55 coarse
 G255 fine
 G56 coarse
 G256 fine
 G57 coarse
 G257 fine
And 2 absolute zero offsets

 G58 coarse
 G59 fine
The values for the G54..G57 and G254..G255 functions are defined in the System
Data tables (see example below). The G58 e G59 functions default values are
loaded at the beginning of the program and can be changed at run-time.

G57 590.000 G257 4.560
G58 420.000
G59 1.250

Programming G54..G57, G254..G257 within the program blocks gives the following
final zero offsets:

 G54  G54 + G58 + G59

 G254  G254 + G58 + G59

supp r e ss ion offset for the whole program or up to a new setting of the G54..G57, G254..G257
functions. The G53 function can be used to delete the zero offset position block by
block.
Ab s olu te off se t The default values for the absolute offset functions G58 e G59 are defined within
the System Data. These values can be changed at run-time for each axis. Once
changed, the default values cannot be reloaded in the same program.

4.8 Absolute and Incremental programming

ISO programs are often based on CAD/CAM files where dimensions can be:

 absolute
 incremental
With absolute dimensions, the tool's new position is relative to the system's origin.
With incremental dimensions, the tool's new position is relative to the tool's
previous position.
The G90 and G91 functions can be used to process CAD/CAM files without any
preliminary adjustment:

 G90 dimensions are processed as absolute values

 G91 dimensions are processed as incremental values

G90 e G91 are modal functions and mutually exclusive. G90 is the default function
(absolute dimensions).
E xa mpl e: The PROG1 program works with absolute positions, while the PROG2 program
works with incremental positions.

4.9 Rigid Tapping

Not e: Rigid tapping requires a position encoder in order to control the spindle speed.
Rigid tapping can be programmed with the G331/G332 functions. Rigid tapping
depends on spindle and axis dynamics. The G331 function defines the tapping, the
G332 function reverses the direction of rotation (uncoupling).
The hole depth is programmed with the tool's axis (X, Y, or Z); the thread pitch is
programmed with the I, J or K axes. With the G332 function, the same thread pitch
of the G331 is programmed. The inversion of direction is automatic.
The spindle's speed of rotation is programmed with the S function, without the
M3/M4 functions.
Before calling the G331/G332 commands, the spindle needs to be moved with the
M19 S... functions..
Clo c kw is e/ cou nt e r The thread pitch defines the spindle rotation:
clo c kw is e t hr e ad
cutt ing:  positive: clockwise rotation (as in M3)
 negative: counterclockwise rotation (as in M4).
Ax e s sp ee d: With the G331/G332 functions, the axis speed depends on the spindle speed and
on the thread lead.
The F function is ignored and remains in memory. If the speed defined within the
system's data is exceed, an alarm is raised.

Example: Rigid tapping with metric 5, thread lead according to the table: 0,8
mm/round; the piece has been drilled in advance.

4.10 Origin offset definition

The zero offset values for the G54..G57 and G254..G257 functions are defined
within the System Data; the following functions are available to programmatically
change the zero offset values at run-time:

 G354
 G355
 G356
 G357
Usage is the same as with the G58 e G59 functions. The default values for each
function is zero.
The zero offset values can be recalled with the G454..G457 functions. Usage is the
same as with the G54..G57 e G254..G257 functions.
E xa mpl e: 3 workpieces placed on a pallet with the zero offset values defined by the G454,

5 Miscellaneous Functions

Some of the Miscellaneous Functions (M functions) are defined by ISO6983/DIN

66025 part 2, while others can be defined by the machine manufacturers. M
functions are used in conjunction with a PLC to manage the machine's processes
not handled by other ISO functions (G, F, S…). All M functions are notified to the
PLC before the axes are moved.
The KSE-ISO lists 100 M functions: M00÷M99. The following M functions are
defined by the KSE-ISO code; all other functions are available for implementation
by the manufacturer.
M00: Unconditioned Machine Stop

The M00 function stops the program. The program can be restarted pressing the
CYCLE START button of the control panel. All programmed data are retained. The
M00 function is effective in any automatic mode. According to the interface setup,
the M00 can also stop spindle and other devices (e.g. coolant). Details are
provided with the machine documentation.
M01: Conditioned Stop
M01 stops the program only when the related softkey and/or PLC interface is
activated.
M02: End of Program

M02 ends the program and is usually written in the last program block, alone or
with other functions. After this function is called, the CNC returns to its default
conditions.
M03: Start clockwise spindle rotation
M04: Start counterclockwise spindle rotation
M05: Stop spindle rotation
M19: Move spindle
See Spindle functions
M17: End of Subroutine

M17 is used in the last block of the subroutine. No subroutine call can be placed in
the same block of an M17 function. See Subroutines.
M30: End of Program
See M02.
M80: Load R Data

Reference Manual 25
ISO 6983 language for the KSE CNCs

The M80 function loads data from the System's work table into the R Data. When
not implemented, the function is available to the user. See also the R Data section.
M98: Copy the PLC cells FB200÷FB255 to the R data R100÷R155

The M98 function copies data from the PLC to the R Data to make them available
to the ISO interpreter. In the KSE CNCs, the PLC cells FB200÷FB255 and the R
data R100÷R155 are reserved for data transfer to and from the PLC and the ISO
interpreter.
M99: Copy the R Data R100÷R155 to the PLC cells FB200÷FB255

As with the M98 function, the M99 copies data from the ISO interpreter R Data to
the PLC cells. NOTE: Floating point value contained in the R Data are byte-
truncated (0…255); See also the R Data section.
Available M Functions

All the M functions not directly managed by the KSE-ISO are available to the
programmer and can be used for the implementation of custom functions. For
instance, the M60 e M61 functions can be used to open/close the clamps blocking
the workpiece. All M functions are notified to the PLC before axes movement.

6 Subroutine

Us ag e Command sequences can be grouped in subroutines which can then be called

from within the program or using the control panel. If a subroutine contains no
parameter, movements defined within the subroutine are usually considered as
incremental. Before the subroutine's call for the processing of a workpiece, the tool
must be selected and moved to the starting point. The same sequence can be
repeated for different workpiece's positions without changing the dimensions within
the program.
St ru ctu re A subroutine is made of:

 Subroutine's beginning
 One or more blocks
 Subroutine's end
The beginning of a subroutine is given with the L function. The function's value n is
unique for each subroutine and must be n < 1000. The end of a subroutine is
signalled with the M17 function. All subroutines are placed after the main program.
Within a subroutine, blocks numbers can be reassigned.
Example:
%100 (Main program's name)
N10 (Main program's first block)
N20 (Main program's second block)
….
M30 (End of the main program)

L230 (Subroutine's name)

N100 G1 X20 Y20 F40 (Subroutine's first block)
N110 X40 20 (Subroutine 's second block)
…
N200 M17 (End of the L230 subroutine)

Ca ll of a A subroutine is recalled from the main program using the subroutine name. If the
Sub ro utin e same subroutine needs to be called in a loop, the number of iteration is defined
with the P function. The P function value defines the number n of iterations. If n =1,
the P function can be omitted.
E xa mpl e: The subroutine L1234 is called 1 and then 3 times.

M17 functions.

A subroutine call placed in the same block of other functions is called after all other
functions have been executed.
Ne sti ng A subroutine can be called from other subroutine (nested calls). The maximum
allowed levels of nesting is 10.
E xa mpl e 1: 3-levels nesting. The main program calls the L1 subroutine. The L1 subroutine
calls the L2 subroutine and the L2 subroutine calls the L3 subroutine.

7 R Data

P rog r amm ing w it h The R Data give the programmer the option to use a variable as function value. All
pa ra me te r s functions, except the G, M and N functions, can use R Data as their value. The
content of an R Data is assigned with the “=” operator. An R data can contain both
integer and floating point values. The “=” operator is used also to assign the R Data
to the function value.
E xa mpl e: Z=R50

Using the R data, the same program can be used for different applications
changing the R data content (e.g. spindle movements and speed with different
materials, different workcycles etc…).
In the KSE CNCs the R data R0 to R299 are available (300 R Data) to the
programmer. The R100÷R155 R Data are used to exchange data with the
machine's PLC using the M98 e M99 functions.
The value of all R data is retained when the machine is turned off.
E xa mpl e s: R50=100
R20=-32.754
R100=2500.33

P ar am et r ic al R Data can also be used to evaluate the basic mathematical operations (sum,
pro c es si ng subtraction, multiplication and division). Within a block, operations are processed
strictly following the order in which they are written. The usual arithmetic priorities
do not apply. Brackets are not available.

Operations Operators Result in

 Tool type drill tool, cutter…

 Length +/- 9999,999
 Radius
A correction block is called with the D function (D1, D2, …). In standard CNCs,
each correction block is presented as a 10 columns table, with columns numbered
from P0 to P9. The effective structure of a correction block is defined by the tool
type, given in P1. There are 99 correction blocks (D1…D99) for each tool.

The default tool is T0, with no correction. T0 can also be used to reset any tool
correction within a program. When no correction block is used, the default
correction block (D1) is used (T2 is the same as T2 D1). Since the KSE CNCs
manage the type 10 tools and the D1 correction block only, any correction block
different from D1 loads the D1 correction block (T2 D5 is the same as T2 D1).
