Send the part program and the quantity to be produced.
Hi Versex,
I would like to send the part program and the quantity to be produced for example. You would have some code to show me in addition to the one already present in the post.
Also I would like to know if anyone knows a FANUC server simulator software to test the programs we make.
Thank you very much.
Hey Felice,
There are numerous ways to transfer a program to the CNC. One way is to use what is called DNC to stream the file from a computer in real-time. This method does not store the file on the CNC memory. Another method is to use the Fanuc Focas calls to transfer a program to the CNC memory. However, this method is rather slow. The last method is to use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The FTP method is the preferred method if it is available on your CNC because it is both fast, and requires a lot less code. Do you happen to know which method you want to use? If you want to use FTP you will need to ensure that your CNC model supports FTP.
As for the Fanuc Simulator.... There is a Fanuc Simulator that is available from Fanuc. I have used it before when working on code myself, however, that was through a CNC manufacturer who was partnered with Fanuc. I am not sure if this simulator is available to the general public. But you can call Fanuc and ask about purchasing it.
Hi Versex, thank you very much for your availability.

if you can turn some code to me maybe in vb.net I would be grateful.
I think for FTP it works in a standard way as a programming, right?
Instead for the simulator if you find yourself a demo version that you can pass me I would be grateful.
Thanks.
