FOCAS1/Ethernet is realized by socket communication (TCP/IP
communication) with a FANUC Ethernet Board. Before using, refer to
"FANUC Ethernet Board Operating Manual (B-63354EN)" and confirm
the following items.
- Settings of TCP/IP in your personal computer side.
- Settings of the Ethernet Board and the
FOCAS1(DNC1)/Ethernet function in the CNC side.
- Physical connection between your personal computer
and the CNC.

Introduction
|
|
This document provides general information on the features
supported by GFT. When you install the OPC Server, you should also review the
sections titled: About the I/O Driver, How Do I…, Setting up The I/O Driver,
OPC Addressing and Using the PowerTool in the GFT electronic
documentation. To get there, click on Help and Help Topics on the
PowerTool menu bar. The PowerTool is a client application with a graphical user
interface that accesses the GFT OPC Server and lets you view and modify
communications channel, device, and datablock properties.
|
| |
| Features |
| GFT includes the following features:
|
| |
|
Feature |
Feature Description |
|
1 |
PowerTool – OPC Server has a user interface called the PowerTool for configuring channels, devices,
and datablocks. Statistical communications data is provided for throughput analysis at each level. |
|
2 |
The PowerTool has a built-in datascope for checking Host-to-CNC and CNC-to-Host communications
messages. |
|
3 |
PowerTool has context sensitive help. |
|
4 |
Server automatic reads after a write to confirm a write. |
|
5 |
Automation Interface - You don't have to use the Power Tool to configure the driver. You can make
your own COM or OLE application (using Microsoft's Visual Basic) to configure the driver and access
data. |
|
6 |
Secondary Poll Rate - The OPC Server polls a datablock at the secondary poll rate once the Access
Time expires. Data is polled at the secondary poll rate until there is another client request for data. If
the secondary poll rate is set for a longer period of time than the Primary Rate, CPU resources are
reduced while ensuring that the datablock will always be polled. |
|
7 |
Phased Poll Rates. |
|
8 |
Enable/Disable individual communication channels, devices, and datablocks from the automation
interface or your HMI. |
| |
| FOCAS1/HSSB Functions Supported
|
| The CNC/PMC Data Window Library for
FOCAS1/Ethernet functions supported are shown in Table 1. They are
described in reference to the FOCAS1/Ethernet CNC/PMC Data window library
function call. |
| Table 1 – GFT Function Calls Supported |
| |
|
Function Call |
Description
|
|
cnc_allclibhnd12 |
Allocate library handle |
|
cnc_freelibhndl |
Frees library handle |
|
pmc_rdpmcrng |
Read D type (Data Table) PMC data. GFT supports 4000 D
registers in the range D0 to D7998 (even addresses only).
Registers must be defined on the CNC side as Read/Write enabled. |
|
pmc_wrpmcrng |
Write D type (Data Table) PMC data. |
| |
| OPC Addressing
Information
|
| OPC Server item ID's for GFT use the following format: |
| <Address>[[[|<Signal Conditioning>],<Low EGU>],<High EGU>]
|
| where: |
| <Address> |
is the I/O Address of the data item requested. The <Address> field is required. The
<Address> field has the format: DeviceName:Address[:Bit] where: |
| |
DeviceName |
The name of the hardware device that contains the data you want to
access. The device name is user assigned in the GFT PowerTool. |
| |
Address |
The register address you wish to access. For digital points, you can
address a byte (use even and odd addresses). |
| |
Bit |
Bit number (Bit 0 = LSB and bit 7 = MSB). This parameter is used
for digital access only. |
| <Signal
Conditioning> |
(optional) is the type of Signal Conditioning desired for the specified address. The default
is "None". The "|" character must separate the <Address> and <Signal Conditioning>
fields. This field is only used for analog points. |
| <Low EGU> |
(optional) is the low EGU limit for the specified address. The default is 0. This field is
only used for analog points. |
| <High EGU> |
(optional) is the high EGU limit for the specified address. The default is 65535. This field
is only used for analog points. |
| |
| Note that only the <Address> field is required. All
other fields are optional, and are only used for analog values. |
| The Low and High EGU fields (and the % deadband value specified for a client group) are used by the OPC Server
in deadband calculations. The deadband calculation specifies when the OPC server will update a client with new
data. If no Low and High EGU fields are entered, the default is 0-65535. |
