PREFACE
This manual describes the operation of the Centurion 5, 6 and 7 CNC controls. From theoperator’s standpoint there is no visible difference. Functionality is the same in all controls. The Centurion 7 hardware offers enhanced performance, larger memory, and faster processing. When this manual makes reference to Centurion 7, it implies Centurion 5 and 6 also. The Centurion 7 has five controllable axes in its basic configuration: X, Y, Z, A, and B. This manual assumes that the tool moveswith respect to the workpiece. The programming portion of this manual is divided into two sections: text programming and conversational programming. The conversational programming section is designed primarily to explain the various menus, screen entries, and the general flow from one screen to another. Detailed explanations of each function are described in the M and G code sections and should bereferenced there.
