Yes, Fadal format 2 is the Fanuc format on the Fadal. But I prefer not to use it, if I don't have to.
Some codes are not supported. G9 default on the Fadal is what is called a G61 on the Fanuc control. But the default Fanuc G64 milling mode code is equal to the G8 on the Fadal. But G64 & G61 is not supported in the Fadal Fanuc format 2.
Also using the Fadal format I don't need to use G43 with the H word or the D word with G41 or G42.
The Fanuc format only supports fixture offsets G54-G59 (same as the Fadal E1-E6.) The Fadal format uses E1 through E24. The Haas uses after G59, G110, G111, G112 etc.
The Mark Century 2000 control uses both G54-G59 fixture offsets along with E1-E24. So when I programmed that control I used G54 to set one program zero. And used the E offsets 1-8 for all
the others from the G54 offset. Was like having multiple G52 offsets except the E offsets had to set and pickup just as one would the G54-G59.
