Appendix C: Program Codes

ESSI
The control supports ESSI part programs as defined by the International Standards Organization in
ISO 6582. An ESSI program lists the sequence of Lines, Arcs, Speeds, Kerf and I/O Functions used
to create a part. While the user is free to program in ESSI using a standard text editor, it is
recommended that the ShapeWizard
Graphical Programming environment be used instead.
While the user is free to download ESSI programs to the control, it is important to note that all Part
Programs will be internally converted to EIA for execution in the control. Following is a list of the
ESSI codes that are mapped into the control, or currently unsupported by the control. Mapped ESSI
codes are automatically converted upon program load into directly supported EIA codes.
Unsupported ESSI codes are ignored. All other ESSI codes will generate an error.
