Saffa Member S Join Date Feb 2012 Location Bay of Plenty Posts 1,468 Feb 5, 2018 #4 G code is just ASCII text. So yes, no reason you couldn't send it from a PLC if your PLC has instructions for sending ASCII out of a serial port

The point is to send it to NC and NC accept it as G code or NC part program whatever you call it.

For support, manuals, etc, go to https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/start Saffa said: This is the question I answered. You have several questions. I have no idea about what an NCU is. Click to expand... Essentially, it's a CNC controller. They often have a built in, but separate, PLC.
