    FANUC controllers ethernet compatible?

    We have FANUC 0M & 3M controllers. The shop is trying to locate the documentation but does anyone know if these controllers are ethernet compatible? I'm told that if the are, I don't need to use DNC software to load programs. Thanks in advance!

    As far as I know, the 0i-c controls and newer had an ethernet option.

    For sure no Ethernet on those old controls. Data servers came about in the mid 90's that had some form of Ethernet. Those were usually a very pricey option on 16M controls.

    Beacause you mentioned 16M controls (newer?), the 0M and 3M are much older? If ours aren't ethernet compatible, I will find a better DNC that can load from a laptop.

    The 3 and 6 series date from the late '70s, the 0,10,11,12,15 series from ~1986.The 15b,16a,18a etc started in ~1991.
