1.INTRODUCTION
NOTE
1
It is necessary to set the PMC simulation function of NCGuide for using the
FOCAS2 function.
2
The change of Node number(case of HSSB connection) or IP address(case of
Ethernet connection) are necessary for acquiring the library handle. Please
refer to "Allocates the Library handle" for acquisition of the Library handle.
And please refer to “1.2 Limitations” for other limitation.
1 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use FOCAS2 library for NCGuide.
For the specification of NCGuide, please refer to "NCGuide CNC Simulation Function OPERATOR'S
MANUAL" and "NCGuide PMC Simulation Function OPERATOR'S MANUAL" supplied in the
following NCGuide DVD disk.
NCGuide drawing number list:
NCGuide(1 user) A08B-9010-J770#ZZ12
NCGuide(10 users) A08B-9010-J771#ZZ12
NCGuide(20 users) A08B-9010-J772#ZZ12
NCGuide(Site license) A08B-9010-J773#ZZ12
And for specification of FOCAS2 Library, please refer to the “data window library specification”
supplied in CNC Application Development Kit (A08B-9010-J555#ZZ12).
1.1 Features
FOCAS2 application made by MTB can be executed without actual machine and CNC. (NOTE1)
FOCAS2 application executed on NCGuide can be executed on actual machine without
modification. (NOTE2)
This function corresponds to the High Speed Serial Bus(HSSB) connection and the Ethernet(equal
with embedded Ethernet) connection.

1.INTRODUCTION
NOTE
FOCAS2 function on NCGuide and CNC does not have complete
interchangeability. Therefore, please do the operation test of FOCAS2
application on actual CNC after confirming the application on NCGuide.
1.2 Limitations
NCGuide differs from actual CNC, because of the difference of CPU hardware performance and of
configuration of servo/spindle, or so on.
So, all function executable in CNC cannot be executed.
The main dissimilitude of NCGuide and CNC is as follows.
CNC simulation function and PMC simulation function of the NCGuide have dissimilitude with
CNC. Please refer to ”NCGuide CNC Simulation Function OPERATOR’S MANUAL”
and ”NCGuide PMC Simulation Function OPERATOR’S MANUAL” for each dissimilitude.
When the FOCAS2 function which is not prepared CNC option in NCGuide is executed, the
function returns EW_NOOPT(6).
Please refer to “9.1 OPTION SETTINGS” of ”NCGuide CNC Simulation Function OPERATOR’S
MANUAL” for available CNC options.

2 Operating environment
The environment that NCGuide operate is necessary.
Please refer to “3. OPREATING ENVIRONMENT” of “NCGuide CNC Simulation Function
OPERATOR'S MANUAL” for operating environment of NCGuide.

3.Settings
3 Settings
The required setting for executing FOCAS2 Application on NCGuide is explained.
3.1 Options
"Extended driver and library function" option must be set for executing FOCAS2 function on NCGuide.
To enable this function, the option setting tool (OptionSetting.exe) is started after starting NCGuide.
Check the check box of the "Extended driver and library function" and finish the option setting tool.
And restart NCGuide.
Please refer to "9.1 OPTION SETTINGS" of "NCGuide CNC Simulation Function OPERATOR'S
MANUAL" for use of the option setting tool.
It is not necessary to set the option for Ethernet connection, because Ethernet connection is equal to
embedded Ethernet function.
3.2 CNC Parameters
The CNC parameters to use FOCAS2 function are the same as actual CNC. Please refer to specification
of each function of “data window library specification” in CNC Application Development Kit
(A08B-9010-J555#ZZ12) for detail of setting.

4.Execution method of FOCAS2 application
4 Execution method of FOCAS2 application
To execute FOCAS2 function on NCGuide, it is necessary to install "FOCAS2 library for NCGuide".
FOCAS2 library for NCGuide is included in "FOCAS2 Library¥Fwlib" folder of CNC Application
Development Kit (A08B-9010-J555#ZZ12).
4.1 Installation of FOCAS2 Libraries
FOCAS2 Libraries for NCGuide are as follows. The libraries except HSSB connection use the same
library as actual CNC.
For 32 bit version FOCAS2 library
Fwlib32.dll : CNC/PMC Data window control library
FwlibNCG.dll : Processing library for HSSB connection : Exclusive use for NCGuide of
FS31i/32i/35i and FS0i-F
Fwlib0DN.dll : Processing library for HSSB connection : Exclusive use for NCGuide of
FS0i-D
Fwlibe1.dll : Processing library for Ethernet connection
For 64 bit version FOCAS2 library
Fwlib64.dll : CNC/PMC Data window control library
FwlibNCG64.dll : Processing library for HSSB connection : Exclusive use for NCGuide of
FS31i/32i/35i and FS0i-F
Fwlib0DN64.dll : Processing library for HSSB connection : Exclusive use for NCGuide of
FS0i-D
Fwlibe64.dll : Processing library for Ethernet connection
Please copy the library into the folder of the system environment variable "path" of Windows or into the
same folder as the FOCAS2 application.
Installing to the Windows¥System32 folder is recommended.
Additionally, the header file and the import library necessary to develop the FOCAS2 application are the
same as actual CNC.
4.2 HSSB driver
The installation of the HSSB driver is unnecessary.
4.3 Ethernet connection
The Ethernet port is mounted in the personal computer, and it is necessary to install the network driver.
