As a self taught programmer, cook, engineer, machinist, welder, jack of all trades master of a few I could never see me wanting to use an infinite loop for anything CNC related. I would have my input run the subroutine program. I understand this is normal for a PLC (I program them as well) to

OK, I found my problem. Simply a matter of caps. wrong -> (axis,STOP) right -> (AXIS,stop) It helps to pay attention to the docs... This still doesn't fix my beef with M66 timeout, of course, but I am much relieved that I can at least load programs with indefinite termination. Thanks again
