Mastering Fanuc Focas: Programming Techniques for CNC Machines – Part 6 (Read Active Alarms)

This is the sixth video in the Fanuc Focas Tutorial series. In this episode, we learn how to read a list of alarms from the CNC. Each alarm consists of multiple components. We go over reading each of these components and formatting the information into a format that will make sense to the machine operator. This comes in handy when making a job manager or a custom HMI.

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.
