Hello
Usually CNC are not easy to handle, so I try to do everything (as far as possible) from the PC.
Particularly FANUC are quite cumbersome to manage while on the other hand they are very reliable.
I use the PC application "OPEN COMMUNICATION FOR FANUC" to make life easier.
With the newest CNC I use the Ethernet connection while with the older ones I use RS232C (from same application).
With mentioned program, besides transferring part programs etc., it is possible to display the CNC screens from the PC !!!.
This is a very helpful feature but unfortunately it only works on some machines.
Can someone help me?
I downloaded the latest version (v50.0) from:
Open Communication for FANUC Download
You can also get it from:
Open Communications for FANUC CNC - Free Download
With the installation file you can also get the user manuals, but I cannot find any clue on them.
Thank you for your help.
Regards
Juan Carlos
