Hi,

I am looking to connect to Fanuc Robodrill CNC and collect some of the machine parameters.

What would I need to get in order to get this? I already have Kepserver with AB driver talking down to the site.

Can i set up Focas and Ethernet/IP on Fanuc Robodrill to make it work as plant port already used to communicate with AB PLC on plant?

Yes, you can connect a Fanuc Robodrill CNC to Kepware and collect machine parameters using the Fanuc FOCAS Ethernet Driver. This requires:

  • Kepware Fanuc FOCAS Driver/Suite
  • FANUC FOCAS option enabled on the CNC
  • FANUC FOCAS library installed
  • Ethernet connectivity between Kepware and the CNC 

The existing Ethernet port can typically be used for both plant network communications and FOCAS access, provided the network and controller are configured appropriately. Ethernet/IP is not required for reading CNC parameters through Kepware; FOCAS is the recommended interface.
