Mastering Sinumerik G90 Absolute Positioning: AC Commands Explained
G90 Absolute Dimensions or Absolute Programming is Modal G-code. Siemens Sinumerik provides AC (non-modal absolute dimensions) command to access individual axis absolute position.

Absolute Dimensions (Absolute Programming)
With Absolute dimensions or Absolute programming, the programmed position always refer to the zero point of the currently valid coordinate system (workpiece-zero-point).
Following cnc program example shows the use of following Siemens Sinumerik commands,
- G90 Modal Absolute Dimensions command
- AC Non-modal Absolute Dimensions command
Absolute Dimensions Program Example
Sinumerik Mill Program
N10 G90 G0 X45 Y60 Z2 T1 S2000 M3 ; Modal Absolute dimensions active N20 G1 Z-5 F500 ; circular interpolation, circle center point in absolute dimensions. N30 G2 X20 Y35 I=AC(45) J=AC(35) N40 G0 Z2 N50 M30
As Non-modal absolute dimensions (AC) are possible for spindle positioning (SPOS, SPOSA) and interpolation parameters (I, J, K).
So this program use AC non-modal absolute dimensions command to access circle center point dimensions.
