The G-Code Runtime app is a software application to interpret and execute G-Code commands. G-Code is a language to control CNC machines (Computerized Numerical Control) for applications, e.g. in the areas of Dispensing, Additive Manufacturing and Bending. Thus it is an ideal upgrade of the license for Cartesian Kinematics.
The G-Code Runtime App translates G-Code commands (DIN 66025) into motion functions and finally movements of kinematics and axes. Therefore, a Motion license and a Cartesian Kinematics or Robotics add-on license are required for the G-Code Runtime App.
The use of the app requires one or more licenses.
Latest features in version GCO-V-0204
G-Code commands are classified in interpolation, modal and M commands:
- Interpolation commands are related to kinematic command, e.g.: G0/G1 -> mov-ex, G2/G3 -> circle 2d.
- Modal G-Codes are based on kinematic command options, e.g. G47/G48 -> opt-tool-length, G8/G9 -> opt-cont-motion, PolyTrans -> opt-poly-trans.
- M commands are used as synchronized motion object, which can be configured in data layer node “motion/state/functions/somo/signals/”.
