- Display and operation of the IPL screen

- Display of the CNC power-on screen

- Display of the CNC alarm screen

CNC screen for normal operation (CNCScrnE.exe)

- Display and operation of the general CNC screen

• Number of connectable CNCs

Up to eight CNCs can be connected to one personal computer.

• Ethernet address setting

The IP address of a CNC is the half-fixed address 192.168.1.(10+N) [from 192.168.1.10 to

192.168.1.17]. The value of N at the end is set using a rotary switch. The IP address of the

personal computer needs to be fixed at 192.168.1.200.

The TCP port numbers 8193 and 8198 are used for the CNCs, and the UDP port number 8197

is used for the personal computer. (No port number needs to be set.)

When Ethernet Display function option is not selected, the IP address of a CNC connectable to

the personal computer is 192.168.1.10 only.

NOTE

When using Ethernet Display function, note the following:

• The screen update interval of Ethernet Display function is longer than that of a

CNC-dedicated display unit. Even when a higher-performance personal

computer is used, the screen update interval cannot be made shorter than that

of a CNC-dedicated display unit.

• When high-load machining such as high-speed and high-precision machining is

performed, Ethernet Display function is more affected than a CNC-dedicated

display unit, so a longer screen update interval may result.

• As described in Appendix H.2, "EXAMPLE OF NETWORK CONFIGURATION",

Ethernet Display function is designed for a system where multiple machines

share a display unit or a system that does not need a display unit usually. For

example, when using a machine that the machine operator operates by

displaying and operating the CNC screen at all times as in the case of using

MANUAL GUIDE i, use a CNC-dedicated display unit.

Only CNCs of stand-alone type can be used.

When Ethernet Display function is used, the PCMCIA Ethernet card cannot be

used. When using FANUC LADDER-III and SERVO GUIDE, use the embedded

port (Ethernet connector (CD38A) on the control unit).

Ethernet Display function cannot be operated with Fast Ethernet board.

When Ethernet Display function is used, the HSSB connection needs to be cleared

or the CNC-dedicated display unit needs to be disconnected.

For a personal computer (or PANEL i), select a CPU and memory size that can

sufficiently handle the connected CNCs and application software used. When

multiple CNCs are used, it is recommended to select Pentium III (866 MHz or

higher) for the CPU and a memory of 256 MB or more.

When PANEL i is used, the USB interface QWERTY MDI, FA full keyboard, or

general full keyboard is required. Refer to "FANUC PANEL i CONNECTION AND

MAINTENANCE MANUAL (B-64223EN)".

When a personal computer and CNC are connected with each other on a

one-to-one basis, the optional Ethernet Display function may not be selected. In

this case, the node number is fixed at "0" (IP address: 192.168.1.10).

Example 3: When a connection is made with a factory network

Personal computer 1 is connected to hub 1 as a display unit for CNC1, CNC2, and CNC3. Personal

computer 2 is connected to hub 2 as a display unit for CNC4, CNC5, and CNC6. To communicate with

personal computer 3 on the factory network, a Fast Ethernet board is added to each CNC, and personal

computer 3 and all CNCs are connected to hub 3.

NOTE

The basic network configuration based on Ethernet Display function consists of

only CNCs and a personal computer for display. If the network has a personal

computer to which CNCs do not communicate, CNC communication processing

load increases, and the display speed can slow down.

So, avoid connecting with the network at the whole factory. However, when a

personal computer is to be connected temporarily for a purpose other than

display, the personal computer can be connected to the network by satisfying the

IP address system above.

H.3 DISPLAY UNIT NUMBER SETTING AND CONFIRMATION
