G-codes are NOT universal, at least not all of them. The basic ones such as
G01, G02, G03, G90, G91, G40, G41, G42, G43 are pretty much universal
however, different manufacturers use different G-codes for other things such
as a dwell or pause G04 for some, G24 for others, Also subroutine calls are
not always the same code, G77 for some, G21 or G22 for others and these are
not all of them by a long way. It is up to the control OEM how they define
many of the codes that is why you can't just take a program that runs on an
Allen-Bradley 7200 and use it in a Fanuc 0M or a NUM 1040 etc.

One would have to edit the programs so they would work in each control.

Hope this helps,
Randy
