12.7.3 M code output function
The "M code output function" is used to command auxiliary work (clamping, drill
rotation, tool replacement, etc.) related to the positioning data being executed.
When the M code ON signal [RXnD, RXnE] is turned ON during positioning execution,
a No. called the M code is stored in "Valid M code (RWrn+4, RWrn+12)".
These "Valid M code (RWrn+4, RWrn+12)" are read, and used to command auxiliary
work. M codes can be set for each positioning data. (Set in setting item "
Da.9 M
code" of the positioning data.)
The timing for outputting (storing) the M codes can also be set in the "M code output
function".
The details shown below explain about the "M code output function".

(1) M code ON signal output timing
The timing for outputting (storing) the M codes can be set in the "M code output
function". (The M code is stored in "Valid M code (RWrn+4, RWrn+12)" when the
M code ON signal is turned ON.)
The following shows the two types of timing for outputting M codes: the "WITH"
mode and the "AFTER" mode.
(a) WITH mode
The M code ON signal [RXnD, RXnE] is turned ON at the positioning start,
and the M code is stored in "Valid M code (RWrn+4, RWrn+12)".
