Connect Robot Fanuc To Kepware Server

[Arnaud_T]

Hello,

Is there any possibility to connect a Fanuc Robot to a Kepware Server by an ethernet connection?

Take a look:

• "Fanuc Focas Ethernet": https://www.ptc.com/en/store/kepware/drivers/fanuc-focas-ethernet
• "Kepware and fanuc robots": https://www.reddit.com/r/PLC/comments/owlcp9/kepware_and_fanuc_robots/

Thanks a lot and I already saw them.
For the Focas Ethernet, I understood that it is dedicated to Fanuc CNC and not R30iA or B Robot Controllers but perhaps I'm wrong.

And the second topic, I'm not sure with that solution I could retrieve the 6 axis angular values because this is my target, not well explained in my 1st post, sorry.

The Kepware Fanuc Focus driver can read Axis Data Values. Here is a link to the page in the help file that covers this:

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply but Focas connectivity, as I understood, is dedicated to CNC Fanuc application, is it also compatible with Fanuc Robots?
