Smart Wireless Connectivity for CNC Machines
FBR-100AN/FBR-100 is a protocol converter for CNC Machines to connect with your network. It bridges factory machines on the floor to the monitoring systems using MTConnect, OPC UA, or Modbus TCP. These are communication protocols that are used by many major manufacturers to efficiently connect factory machines to their host systems.
Machine tool manufacturers and users can collect machine operation data on factory lines and transfer them to the host system using wired or wireless LAN to reduce maintenance costs and improve their operation.
FBR-100AN/FBR-100 translates the machine language for the monitoring host, which traditionally is done using a PC or a designated computer. The FBR converter is a compact unit that can translate the machine protocol as well as send it via the network to the monitoring stations.
It is compatible with Fanuc’s CNC-equipped machine tools and equipped with the open protocol MTConnect, a protocol that has been widely adopted by machine tool manufacturers in the United States. OPC UA and Modbus TCP are other machine communication protocols that are supported by the FBR converter. OPC UA is the recommended protocol by the European Industry, in cooperation with FANUC.
The FBR converter allows machine tool manufacturers, system integrators, and their users to collect machine tool operation data in the factory and connect to a more sophisticated wired /wireless LAN system.
Securely connect CNC machines to the network for machine monitoring
The FBR converter provides a way to securely connect CNC machines isolating their control system network from the monitoring system network. CNC machine data can be retrieved through the FBR converter without exposing it to other networks.
Monitor CNC machines to improve productivity and maintenance
Monitor Fanuc or other vendors' CNC devices to monitor operation data including NC programs and PMC data through the FBR converter.
Reinstall legacy manufacturing equipment with Signal Towers into a smart factory by joint solution with PATLITE's AirGRID®.
MTConnect protocol data transmission over the network
Obtain CNC equipment data in MTConnect format over wireless/wired network. The FBR converter integrates an MTConnect adapter and agent to transform non-MTConnect CNC machines into MTConnect-capable machines. The adapter and the agent can be operated independently to enhance the FBR converter's interoperability with various MTConnect equipment.
Hardware design for factory use
Ethernet to Wi-Fi bridge mode
FBR-100AN converts the wired LAN interface of CNC devices to the Wi-Fi interface so that the user can access CNC devices and change programs via the wireless
