Machine monitoring for Fanuc controls

Yes. Dextrolab reads Fanuc 0i and 30i-series controls over FOCAS, through the Ethernet port they have as standard. There is nothing to buy for the control.

What it needs

Nothing: Ethernet and FOCAS are standard on these controls. Dextrolab speaks FOCAS itself, so no Fanuc library either.

Older models

16i, 18i, 21i and 0i-C reach the network through their embedded port where they have one, or Fanuc's Ethernet board. Without a network port: through our I/O module, coming next.

Questions

More about Fanuc

Another question? Our team answers at contact@dextrolab.com.

On the control, in the Ethernet settings under the SYSTEM key, the embedded port gets an address in your network, and FOCAS answers on TCP port 8193 by default. Our team does this with you.

No. Fanuc sells it to software makers, but Dextrolab's edge device speaks FOCAS itself.
