Important: The 9/Series control allows the Power-Turn-On (PTO) mode of the
control to be specified in AMP with respect to inch/metric (G70/G71) and
absolute/incremental (G90/G91) etc. For 7300 tape compatibility, these
parameters may need to be modified if a certain PTO mode is expected. Refer to
your AMP reference manual for details on these parameters.
Fixture Offset
In place of fixture offsets, the control has nine preset work coordinate
systems selectable using G54-G59.3. The required work coordinate
system can be selected by specifying any of these G-codes in the part
program. The default or power-up work coordinate is specified in AMP.
For 7300 compatibility, the work coordinates G54-G57 have been assigned
to correspond with Pallet A and the work coordinates G58-G59.2 have
been assigned to correspond with Pallet B.
Important: The system installer has to write a specific application in PAL
to access all 8 preset work coordinates in 7300 mode. H1 to H4 selects
G54 to G57 or G58 to G59.2 depending upon how the system installer has
written the PAL program. Refer to your PAL reference manual for details.
Important: An activated fixture offset is applied in the next programmed
move.
In this section, we discussed how to copy a 7300 tape to the control. This
process involves the following steps:
store a 7300 part program into the control
execute the 7300 part program
Storing 7300 Part Programs
A 7300 tape can be stored into control memory using the COPY PRGRAM
softkey function. While reading the tape to the control, any TN code,
which defined the program name for 7300’s, is interpreted as a comment
block; this means a new program name must be entered. The control
prompts the user to enter a program name for each part program or pattern
repeat stored. The name given to the program must adhere to the format of
9/Series program names.
Important: When storing a pattern, the pattern name entered here must be
a 1 to 5 digit (maximum) numeric prefixed with the letter O. For example,
O10005. Refer to Section 10.5.9 for information on valid subprogram
names.
