Communication with FANUC CNC oi-TF using NI OPC Server

[Mando_25]

I am trying to communicate with FANUC CNC oi-TF using NI OPC server to get data from CNC. To communicate we need FANUC FOCAS library files. I have those files in the right location. But when connecting with CNC I am getting an error saying "Fanuc Focas Ethernet Unable to start the GE Focas Data Window Library services". If anyone worked with this CNC kindly help me in this issue.

Note: when choosing device in OPC server it doesn't show oi-TF model, so I am choosing open model to connect. But LabVIEW help shows oi-TF is supported.

I have got the solution for the above mentioned issue. I have also attached a document which includes the procedure for communicating LabVIEW with FANUC CNC using OPC Servers.

Looking through your documemt I think you mixed up something.

32-bit DLLs belong into the SysWOW64 folder while 64-bit DLLs belong into the System32 folder.

Confusing? yes indeed but that is how Microsoft decided it because of somewhat confusing backwards compatibility concerns.

No . It is not mixed up. It is working fine...
