Have you tried the RS274NGC section of the ini file as described by section 4.2.4 of the integrators manual?
--------------------------------------- 4.2.4 [RS274NGC] Section PARAMETER_FILE = file.var The file which contains the parameters used by the interpreter (saved between runs). RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = G21 G90 A string of NC codes that the interpreter is initialized with. This is not a substitute for specifying modal g-codes at the top of each ngc file, because the modal codes of machines differ, and may be changed by g-code interpreted earlier in the session. ---------------------------------------- I am not sure about the "not a substitute" note, or if it works for codes other than "G" code but it does sound worth testing.

Explaining to client, why do they need to specify S word in g-code file for a welding robot, where it does not make any sense at all, is very very difficult, after I have been telling them, how flexible EMC is. > I'm not sure how that would impact what was request by Viesturs. > If you are using a contactor only for running the spindle then > S speed in G code is not needed which make sense as there is no > way to set a speed. I have a feeling that the main reason, why I asked the initial question, has slipped unnoticed. My main concern is about all those machines, where the "spindle" is some kind of tool, that is not a motor. For example: plasma cutting machines waterjet cutting machines hotwire cutting machines (at least the one of Peter Georgi) laser cutting machines welding robot and many other... And, if properly built, they all can be considered as industrial machines. Chris, thank You very much for the suggestion, I will check it out, when I have a spare moment and will let You know, if any other questions will arise.
