FANUC FOCAS

FOCAS (FANUC Open CNC API Specifications) is FANUC's library for reading and writing CNC data from a PC over Ethernet or HSSB. FOCAS1 covers older series (32-bit), FOCAS2 covers 30i/31i/32i/35i, 0i-D/F and Power Motion i-A (32- and 64-bit); the two are compatible. The library (A02B-0207-K732 or K737) is bought from FANUC and installed on the collector; Ethernet FOCAS listens on TCP 8193 by default.
