Hi Gentlemen,

Who has experience of integration with Fanuc CNC (Controller 32i-B)? If you have, please send me the instruction manual, including prescription for the bits.

Thanks in advance!

Victor

You will need a 3rd party translator to communicate from Allen Bradley to the 32i.  Fanuc uses the Focas 2 driver.  When I did it I used KEPServer.

I did a lot of searching for a hardware interface or method to talk via Ethernet to a Fanuc 30i family controller and did not find one.

I used the FOCAS OPC Server product directly from Fanuc Support North America.   Relatively inexpensive, but the jury is still out on the reliability;   I had some trouble understanding the update mechanism and some "stale data" issues.
