On the Fanuc controls I've worked with the extended G54Pn work coordinates are 
not "unlimited", it tops out with a max of 200, with the more usual option 
being only 48.  (all of our machines only have the 48 option "installed".)

Hi,

Silent lurker stepping in on this one 😊

On the Sinumerik 840d I work on, I have G54..G59, plus G500..G599 !

As I'm planning a modular clamping table plate with many indexed subplates, 
those many WCS will be very helpful for each plate to have its own.
Fanuc P# option with "unlimited" number of WCSs is even greater, and somehow 
more elegant, except for the licensing non sense.

My 2c
