Connect Brother CNC-C00 and B00 (SPEEDIO)
Brother's C00/B00 specification pages list Ethernet but not OPC UA or MTConnect. Data is read over the machine's HTTP and FTP interfaces (integrator method) or Brother's Ethernet register protocol on TCP 10000. Firmware 12.026 or later is recommended for reliable reporting.
At a glance
| OPC UA / MTConnect | Not listed |
|---|---|
| Interfaces | HTTP + FTP; register protocol TCP 10000 |
| Firmware | 12.026+ recommended |
Connection paths
HTTP + FTP (mixed)Recommended
Part count, alarms, program number, and the program header needed for production monitoring.
Register protocolAlternative

10000 | TCP | Register protocol |
HTTP / FTP | TCP | Standard ports implied, not stated |
Software versions
- Firmware 12.026 or later recommended; earlier may not report properly

- HTTP/FTP: part count, alarms, program number, program header (mixed or FTP mode)
- Register protocol: same set as D00 above

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |

Traps to avoid
- FTP-only mode is not recommended where FTP is already used for program transfer.
