Mastering Fanuc Focas: Programming Techniques for CNC Machines – Part 1 (Setup)

This is the first video in a new series that will build on the It’s Time to Focas series of blog posts. In this video you will get an introduction to the Fanuc Focas API using C# .NET. In this first video, we go over the various types of connections we can use to communicate with the Fanuc controller, as well as setting up a connection, and getting your computer set up to make Focas calls. At the end of this video, you are introduced to some resources you will need in future videos.

If you have any questions or comments please leave a comment below or contact me. I will be more than happy to help however I can.

We also have a Forum where people can post their questions. Help us build a Fanuc Focas community where we can share our knowledge with others.
