what exactly are you confused about, are these new machines.
there all g-code and am sure the have a used interface to program
As far as have a standard that may seem to help but my experience we had fanuc controllers, on the machine centers and code was not exactly portable from machine to machine.
Such as one to initialize the head it would be T1, T2, T3, .....T8, will the other machine it would be M11, M12, M13,...and so on. same with turning them on and off the codes where different.
or are you worried about service and operator friendly.......sorry I'm sure you are.

I HAVE A WEIDEMAN TURRET PUNCH THAT I HAVE REFURBISHED AND AM GETTING IT READY TO PUNCH MY PRODUCT. WE HAVE A FANUC CONTROL AND I AM FLUENT IN AUTO CAD DESIGN OF MY PRODUCT BUT AM NOT IN THE MACHINING FIELD CAN YOU DIRECT ME IN THE CHEAPEST AND BEST WAY TO GET UP RUNNING AND START PUNCHING . WE ARE GOING TO MOUNT A PLASMA CUTTER ON THE MACHINE FOR TO CUT THE CIRCUMFERENCE OUT ON THE SHEETS AND I KNOW THAT THE FANUC CONTROLLER WILL HANDLE THE PLASMA , BUT ONLY WITH THE RIGHT SOFTWARE . MY QUEST IS TO BE ABLE TO OPORATE THIS MACHINE MYSELF AND LEARN THE CODES . BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS SOFTWARE OUT THERE THAT WILL BE COMPATABLE TO MY AUTO CAD AND WILL MAKE THE CODES FOR THE PUNCH I NEED TO DO. OK , CAN YOU DIRECT ME TO SOMEONE OR SOME COMPANY THAT HAS THE SOFTWARE THAT WOULD BE FREINDLY ENOUGH TO HELP .
PS . I KNOW I AM NOT UP TO SMART ON WHAT I AM GOING TO DO SO IF I HAVE LEFT ANYTHING OUT DO NOT HESITATE LETTING ME KNOW.
