1. Overview ​

The FANUC CNC Data Acquisition Gateway reads machine status, production counts, programs, alarms, and spindle and axis data through the CNC Ethernet interface. It sends data to monitoring and production systems through MQTT or OPC UA.

Typical Applications ​

CNC status monitoring, production counting, alarm collection, and factory data integration.

2. Ordering Information ​

Version Selection ​

VersionUpstream connectivityTypical application
Wi-FiEthernet + Wi-FiFactory sites with Wi-Fi coverage
4GEthernet + 4GSites with cellular coverage and limited factory-network access
Wi-Fi + 4GEthernet + Wi-Fi + 4GSites requiring both wireless connection options

Selection Details ​

For selection and quotation, send:

  • Required version: Wi-Fi, 4G, or Wi-Fi + 4G.
  • FANUC controller series, version, and Ethernet-interface details.
  • Required data points and acquisition interval.
  • Site network and target MQTT or OPC UA platform.
  • Destination country and carrier for a 4G-equipped version.
  • Storage expansion, accessories, and program or tool-offset requirements.

The quotation specifies accessories and package contents.

3. Key Features ​

  1. Data-point configuration — Individual entry, batch creation, and Excel import.
  2. Acquisition interval — Configurable polling interval.
  3. MQTT payloads — Custom topics and script-defined formats.
  4. Offline storage — Local data storage during network interruptions and automatic forwarding after communication resumes.
  5. Diagnostics — Browser-based log viewing and network diagnostics.

Electromagnetic compatibilityEMC Directive 2014/30/EU

Certification scope for the 4G and Wi-Fi + 4G versions requires confirmation for the supplied configuration.

7. Installation and Wiring ​

Network Connections ​

Use LAN1, Wi-Fi, or 4G for the upstream connection, according to version. Connect LAN2 or LAN3 to the CNC. Configure the gateway through its LAN1 IP address or, on Wi-Fi-equipped versions, its Wi-Fi IP address. Set MQTT or OPC UA parameters for the receiving system.

Commissioning ​

  1. Mount the gateway on a DIN rail and connect a suitable 12–24 V DC supply.
  2. Connect a commissioning computer to LAN1 and configure it for the 192.168.1.x subnet with a unique IP address.
  3. Open 192.168.1.230 in a browser to access the configuration interface.
  4. Configure the Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 4G upstream connection for the selected version and the CNC-side network settings. Restart after changing network-interface IP addresses.
  5. Add or import the required data points and set the acquisition interval.
  6. Configure the MQTT or OPC UA connection and verify the received data.
  7. Check logs, communication diagnostics, and offline storage and forwarding behavior.
