FOCAS is an Ethernet or HSSB-based proprietary protocol developed by Fanuc and compatible with Fanuc controls. Software applications can access Fanuc Control data using the FOCAS Library, enabling automated machine data collection and production monitoring.
FANUC FOCAS是从FANUC CNC机器收集数据的标准协议。这是一个广泛采用的工业通信协议as many machine tool builders use Fanuc CNC controllers to control their equipment.
FOCAS is composed of a set of library files (.dll), that can be accessed by applications to retrieve most of the information inside of the CNC. MachineMetrics uses these libraries to access information directly from the control via ethernet.
通过FOCAS获得的常见数据是CNC状态（运行，空闲，警报），零件计数信息，程序名称，号码，大小和日期修改，工具和工作偏移，警报号和文本，feed叠加，参数，参数，位置数据，主轴速度和模态数据。
FANUC提供了一系列连接解决方案，该解决方案由FOCAS协议启用，这些解决方案可以驱动开箱即用的专有机器监视功能，并支持第三方控制系统和IoT平台。
With a machine monitoring system or machine data platform, like MachineMetrics, users can drive even greater operational visibility and actionability with the FOCAS-supported equipment data.
Below, we discuss some of the proprietary solutions offered by Fanuc and driven by the FOCAS library files.
There are a number of out-of-the-box Fanuc software solutions available for use with any FOCAS-enabled equipment and based on the Fanuc FOCAS API. You can find these FOCAS Automation Solutions (FAS) below, each of which supports some form of machine connectivity, data collection, and communication to support shop floor visibility.
FANUC MTCONNECT服务器（FASMTC）是支持数据标准化的解决方案mtConnect标准。The FASMTC software can be installed on an industrial PC, embedded PC, or other PC at the machine tool and is used to transform the data from FOCAS into the structured MTConnect XML. FASMTC consists of both an MTConnect adapter as well as a standard MTConnect agent. Learn more aboutFASMTC。
MT-Linki是FANUC的专有机床监控解决方案。该软件允许制造商使用以太网将其商店地板连接到PC。然后，用户可以以颜色编码的格式可视化商店的地板，以了解设备性能。它有助于通过MTConnect或OPC-UA实现与FANUC CNC和机器人以及非FANUC CNC，PLC或设备的连通性。学习更多关于MT-LINKi。
FOCAS Automation Solution Data (FASData) is a plug-and-play version of MT-Linki that is less comprehensive. Described as "plug-n-play", FASData has the ability to connect to modern and legacy FANUC CNCs that have either an Ethernet or HAAS connection, as well as non-FANUC equipment via MTConnect and OPC-UA.

FOCAS Automation Solution Connect（fasconnect）是一种基于Windows的软件，可允许用户在网络上管理FANUC控件的数据。可以将文件传输到PC和CNC，以确保CNC数据的有效通信。该数据包括零件程序，PMC，数据，参数，宏变量等信息。学习更多关于FASConnect。
FOCAS自动化解决方案备份CNC（FASBACCNC）是一种基于网络的备份解决方案，用于启用焦点的FANUC CNC，是for forcomponnect的附加组件。为了防止CNC设备上的文件丢失，FASBACCNC自动备份已创建的CNC文件。学习更多关于fasbaccnc。
FASOPC
FOCAS Automation Solution OPC (FASOPC) is an OPC server that supports the collection of machine data. This is helpful to industry professionals who are standardizing on OPC. Learn more aboutFASOPC。
FASScreens
FOCAS自动化解决方案屏幕（FassCreens）是收集的屏幕，最终用户可以在FANUC HMIS上部署该屏幕。这样可以防止用户开发和手动将HMI自定义为自己的偏好。学习更多关于FASScreens。
When collecting machine data from any FOCAS-enabled equipment, including non-FANUC CNCs, there are essentially two connection types available. The FOCAS libraries access the CNC data using these connections, and automated data collection solutions like MachineMetrics use the FOCAS libraries to access the CNC data.
什么是Fanuc HSSB？
高速串行总线（HSSB）连接是指依赖光纤电缆的连接方法，使连接比标准以太网电缆连接更可靠和更快。
FOCAS is composed of a set of Dynamic-link Library files, or DLL files, that can be used by applications to retrieve most of the information inside of the CNC. The FOCAS Library allows users to customize functions and develop applications, communicating with the CNC via Ethernet or HSSB (High-Speed Serial Bus) connectivity.
通过FOCAS获得的常见数据是CNC状态（运行，空闲，警报），零件计数信息，程序名称，号码，大小和日期修改，工具和工作偏移，警报号和文本，feed叠加，参数，参数，位置数据，主轴速度和模态数据。
There are two FOCAS Libraries available, and which is used depends on the PC operating system and the CNC that data collection is occurring on:

MTConnect提供了机器对机器或机器到机器的通信词汇，可确保具有类似标准化功能的设备可以通信。作为技术标准，MTConnect可以从结构化XML的机床中检索信息，以监视性能并分析不同品牌和设备模型的生产数据。学习更多关于mtConnect。
On the other hand, FOCAS is a proprietary protocol developed by Fanuc and compatible with Fanuc controls. It is Ethernet or HSSB based and offers a library of DLL files (FOCAS Library) with which software applications can access data from Fanuc controls.
借助现代数据收集和标准化工具，制造商可以在这些不同的协议中进行标准化，以开发可行的数据模型，这些模型与其分析和管理系统可互操作。
In the case of Fanuc, there are MTConnect Adapters available as part of Fanuc's MTConnect Server. MachineMetrics also has a custom machine control connector forFanuc Controlsto ensure that MTConnect compliant software can consume the data.
这就是这样的连接性解决方案的机器Metrics comes into play. MachineMetrics is an Industrial Data Platform that enables connectivity to any make and model of equipment, including legacy machines.
MachineMetrics是使用制造设备数据收集，监视，分析和驱动动作的领先平台。我们的平台很容易从制造设备中捕获数据，并提供了一个完整的工具包，以推动前线工人和其他工厂地板系统的可行见解，以提高生产效率和质量。
