Overview


DataXchange can be configured to send information to the Focas control.  An individual bit can be a single PMC address.


Setting up Fanuc Focas as a Target is done by connecting to the DataXchange Service, selecting the associated equipment in the tree list, then pressing the Communication button in the ribbon bar.  The command must not be active in order to modify the communication information.


After selecting Add or Modify in the Communication Information window, set the Communication Role to Target and select Fanuc Focas Host from the Communication Type drop down.


After closing the dialog, the IP Address or Host name needs to be specified along with the TCP Port.  The default port used for Focas is typically 8193. 


The Series of the control must be specified since each series have different PMC address structures. 


Specify the PMC Address to write the data along with the Bit that should be set.


Press the Finish button to save the changes.
