Retrieval of CNC Machine Production Data



FANUC FA America has introduced FASOPC designed for easy retrieval of CNC machine production data. FASOPC is an OPC server designed for getting machine production data out of the FANUC CNC and off the shop floor.

Many industrial software packages have built-in support for OPC specifically for data retrieval. These systems can now be connected to a FANUC CNC. FASOPC server is designed exclusively for communicating with FOCAS enabled FANUC CNCs to efficiently read and write data. The configuration utility's intuitive user interface utilizes wizards designed for the FANUC CNC to guide users through the processes of setting up all of the controls. Once a control type is identified, then data only relevant to that control type is presented to the user. According to the company, there is no need for additional knowledge of FANUC CNC capabilities to use FASOPC.

FASOPC supports OPC DA specification 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0.
