Allen-Bradley 7300 Series CNC Tape

Compatibility

The 7300 Series CNC tape compatibility feature has been developed for
customers with an existing library of standard 7320 and 7360 CNC tapes.

This feature allows those 7300 tapes to be read and executed by the

control. If desired, these 7300 tapes can be copied into the control’s

memory to allow editing and execution, or they can be executed directly

from tape, with the exception of 7300 pattern repeat subprograms.

Important: This feature is not intended to let you to develop new 7300

part programs with the control. We strongly recommend that for new part

programs, you learn to develop them by using the control’s programming

method.

Important: S--Curve Acc/Dec mode is not available in 7300 mode.

To use the 7300 tape compatibility feature, the system installer must enable

this feature in PAL. Refer to your system installer’s documentation and the

PAL manual for details on how the 7300 Series CNC tape format feature is

activated.

Table D.A lists all of the 7300 G-codes that the control can execute in 7300
mode. See the System 7360 Programming Manual for details on these

G-codes and their operation.
