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 allow you to develop new 7300
part programs using the control. We strongly recommend that for new part
programs, you learn to develop them using the control’s programming
method.

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

To use the 7300 Series tape compatibility feature, the system installer must
enable this feature in PAL. Refer to the system installer’s documentation
and your PAL reference manual for details on how the 7300 Series CNC
tape format feature is activated.

Table D.A lists all 7300 G-codes that the control can execute in 7300
mode. Refer to the System 7320 Programming Manual for details on these
G-codes and their operation.
