ESSI is a standard , although I must admit I have not used it , and I don't wish to , it is very cryptic
although I am aware of people writing conversion programs between gcode and essi format , and their are conversion programs and post processors for some commercial cam programs

for an example :

4 #Ignore text off
82 #G91 81=G90
38 #G40 29=G41 30=G42
45 #Height adjust
5 #Rapid on
-440+300 #X-44. Y30.
6 #Rapid off
7 #Start burner
+880+0 #G1 X88 Y0
+60-60+0-60- #G2 X6 Y-6 I0 J-6
+0-480 #G1 X0 Y-48
-60-60-60+0- #G2 X-6Y-6 I-6 J0
-880+0 #G1 X-88 Y0
-60-60+0-60+ #G3 X-6 Y-6 I0 J-6
.....
.....
8 #Stop burner
46 #Retract
5 #Rapid on
63 #M30

Dear friend,

Yes ESSI code is standard, which program (post processor) exporting ESSI code.
Every ESAB machine older then 15 years work with essi code. System works in this way :

You put floppy disk in control with essi code file with extension *.mpg and plasma machine start cutting.

Thanks
