8.EMBEDDED ETHERNET FUNCTION B-63945EN/03
8.1 EMBEDDED ETHERNET PORT AND PCMCIA ETHERNET
CARD
The embedded Ethernet function can be used by selecting one of two
types of devices: the embedded Ethernet port and PCMCIA Ethernet
card.
A selection can also be made to stop the embedded Ethernet function.
The PCMCIA Ethernet card is to be inserted into the memory card slot
for temporary communication.
CAUTION
1 When using the embedded Ethernet function for the
first time, set an IP address and other items carefully
as instructed by the network administrator, then
perform a sufficient communication test.
Note that an incorrect IP address or other setting
may cause a communication failure on the entire
network.
2 A unit such as a PC situated in the same network
can increase the communication processing load on
the CNC even if the unit is not communicating with
the CNC.
Avoid connecting the CNC to a factory-wide
network. Use a router or the like to separate the
network including the CNC from the other networks.
NOTE
1 The embedded Ethernet port of FANUC Series
32i-A is available as an option.
2 Use the PCMCIA Ethernet card designated by
FANUC. General Ethernet cards available on the
market cannot be used.
3 The PCMCIA Ethernet card is used for FANUC
LADDER-III or SERVO GUIDE.
4 Use the PCMCIA Ethernet card just for temporary
communication as described above. Avoid using
the card for continuous communication.
5 The PCMCIA Ethernet card is inserted into a
memory card slot, with a part of the card left
uninserted. When using the PCMCIA Ethernet
card, take great care not to damage the card by
hitting the protruding part of the card.
When the card becomes unnecessary, remove the
card immediately, in order to prevent any damage
to the card.

Notes on using Ethernet with Windows CE of FS300is/310is/320is-A
With the FS300is/310is/320is-A, the Ethernet interface on Windows
CE may be used by both of the embedded Ethernet function of the
CNC and application software on Windows CE.
Note that the restrictions below are imposed accordingly.
NOTE
1 When the FS300is/310is/320is-A of LCD-mounted
type is used and the PCMCIA Ethernet card is
selected for the embedded Ethernet function,
application software on Windows CE cannot use the
embedded Ethernet port. When the embedded
Ethernet port is selected for the embedded Ethernet
function, application software on Windows CE
cannot use the PCMCIA Ethernet card.
2 When the FS300is/310is/320is-A of stand-alone
type is used, the connection location of the
embedded Ethernet function varies according to the
setting of NC parameter No. 14896. So, the
restrictions below are applied to the Ethernet
interface on Windows CE.
(1) When 0 is set in NC parameter No. 14896 and
the PCMCIA Ethernet card is selected for the
embedded Ethernet function, application
software on Windows CE cannot use the
embedded Ethernet port.
(2) When 1 is set in NC parameter No. 14896,
application software on Windows CE can use
the embedded Ethernet port and PCMCIA
Ethernet card.
(3) When 2 is set in NC parameter No. 14896, the
restriction on item 1 above (for the
LCD-mounted type) is applied.
(4) When 3 is set in NC parameter No. 14896 and
the embedded Ethernet port is selected for the
embedded Ethernet function, application
software on Windows CE cannot use the
PCMCIA Ethernet card.
3 When the FS300is/310is/320is-A is used,
application software on Windows CE can perform
communication simultaneously on a port (embedded
Ethernet port or PCMCIA Ethernet card) selected for
the embedded Ethernet function.

8.2 SETTING UP THE EMBEDDED ETHERNET FUNCTION
This section describes the setting of parameters for the embedded
Ethernet function.
8.2.1 Setting of the FOCAS2/Ethernet Function
This subsection describes the settings required to operate the
FOCAS2/Ethernet function.
Notes on using the FOCAS2/Ethernet function for the first time
NOTE
1 When running user's original application software
created by using the FOCAS2/Ethernet function,
use the embedded Ethernet port.
2 The FOCAS2/Ethernet function allows up to five
FOCAS2/Ethernet clients to be connected to one
CNC.
3 Concurrent access by multiple applications or
personal computers may overload the CNC,
reducing the communication speed.

2 The unit of the time interval is 10 ms. The allowable
range is between 10 and 65535. A time interval
less than 100ms cannot be set.
3 Decreasing the time interval setting increases the
communication load and can affect the network
performance.
Example) If the interval is set to 100 (100 x 10 ms
= 1 second), broadcast data is sent
every 1 second.
