I've run many machines with various controls, not so many with the Seimens control though.  My first thought was that the SUPA was confusing the control and Clearance Height should be selected.  Clearance height should have your tool go to the height you designate in your heights tab, or if outputting a G28 Z0. your machine should return to home, change tools (as needed/programmed) and continue running.  Some machine controls require the G53 instead of a G28, look up your make and model of controller to find the appropriate G codes.

 

When you say the machine did a tool change, moved downward towards part and then stopped and "came out of the code", what do you mean by that?  Was there an alarm that got thrown?  Was there anything in particular that happened besides the machine stopping?  Any message on the screen?
