Time-based / cyclic trigger

In MindSphere, time-based cyclic data acquisition is carried out in a similar way to SINUMERIK control systems.
However, the addresses are different.

Trigger based on variable values

1. Define the new aspect.
   Enter the appropriate values.

2. Click the "Save" button.

   

Several examples of acquiring variables from a FANUC control are listed in the following table.

Additional variables, which are supported by the FOCAS library, are also possible.

Additional information on integrating the variables in MindSphere is provided in Chapter: MTConnect - Example: Integrating variables

Alarm-based trigger

For a FANUC control, you must configure the alarm area to be acquired.

In MindSphere, alarms are acquired in a similar way to SINUMERIK control systems.

As a minimum, you must set up one "Alarm-based trigger".

Alarm types

FANUC controls support 16 alarm types. In turn, each alarm type can have up to 10,000 numerical variables.

The following table lists all of the possible alarms:

• Either configure the individual subranges - or all of the alarms at once.

• To acquire all of the alarms, configure the range from 100,000 to 260,000.

Example

You want to see the display of all software alarms:

Enter:

• Left: 100,000

• Right: 260,000
