    Default NUM1040 Using G4 Dwell

    I am having trouble programming a G4 dwell on an SCM Routomat using a NUM 1040 control.
    when I try to execute the program it faults with the error "Unknown Character / Axis not recognized by the system"

    Just wanted to create a simple spindle warm up program and this isn't working for me.
    %1000 (SPINDLE WARM UP PROGRAM)
    N20 (MACHINE SETUP)
    N21 G70 G90 G40
    N22 G77 H5 N20 N40
    N25 G0 G52 Z0 M110 (MOVE Z TO MACHINE ZERO)
    N120 (TOOL CHANGE #1)
    N130 M110 (DUST HOOD #1 UP)
    N135 M80 (ALL SPINDLES UP)
    N140 M31 T5 M6 (COMMAND SPINDLE#1 TO PICKUP TOOL#5)
    N150 M113 (DUST HOOD #1 DOWN LOW)
    N160 M31 S4000 (SELECT SPINDLE #1)
    N161 M23 (SPINDLE START COMMAND)
    N162 G4 F180
    N163 M31 S8000
    N162 G4 F120
    N163 M31 S12000
    N164 G4 F120
    N165 M31 S16000
    N166 G4 F120
    N167 M50 M110
    N460 E60000=0 E61000=0 E62000=0
    N500 M02

    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    Well I figured it out.

    The retarded NUM control can only handle a max dwell time < 99.999. So it was tripping over my 3 minute dwell (F180).

    To fix it I just did 3 separate 1min dwells.
