M200 Waiting M code (Star)
Swiss (Citizen Star) M-code · Lathe
Fanuc waiting M code used on Star. A path stops at M200 until the other path reaches the same M200. Star programs use codes from M200 up as wait numbers.

Watch out for
- The range of waiting M codes is set by Fanuc parameters 8110 and 8111. Check yours before picking numbers.
- Every wait must appear in both paths in the same order. A missing wait stops both paths.
- Use a new number for each wait in the program so the order is easy to check.
Machine builders set many M codes, and they change by model and options. Check the M code list for your machine.
