From the supplier: Automated woodworking machines have different CNC codes depending on the manufacturer. However, there are some elements of the language which are consistent in every machine. The codes should be followed so that the controller can be programmed. Standards for these codes are listed in the ANSI/EIA RS-374-D. Although these codes dictate the machines' motions, axes and coordinates are designated to find a path for these movements. Different axes of motion are listed in the EIA standard RS-267-A.
