Configuring the Fanuc 31i Control

Configuring the Fanuc 31i Control

The Fanuc control must be configured in order for the communication to take place. The configuration consists of setting standard TCP/IP network properties.

The steps to configure the control may vary from model to model. The following steps are for a 31i control.

Configuration Steps

Press the SYSTEM button and scroll through the options until the Ethernet cards appear.
Select the card to be used. Usually the Embedded port which is labeled EMBED PORT will be used.
Select the COMMON button which will allow the basics to be set for the network card. For reference purposes the card selected will be displayed in the title bar.

Set the IP ADDRESS and the SUBNET MASK. If the data collection computer is on another logical network then set the ROUTER IP ADDRESS.

Select the FOCAS2 button and set the TCP port to 8193.

Once the settings have been entered press the RSTART button and then the EXECUTE button for the changes to take effect, or reboot the CNC control.
