A wealth of information can be acquired from the Fanuc I controls over Ethernet without any programming or hardware modifications. Controls such as the 0i, 15i, 16i, 18i, 21i, 31i can all be accessed. With the standard version information can be acquired such as whether or not the machine is cycling or idle, if the machine is in an alarm, which program is running, or the current part count.

Enterprise

The Enterprise version of DataXchange unlocks the full potential of the data evaluation from the connected systems. Advanced data fields are available along with supporting an unlimited number of logic expressions. The supported Fanuc I series controls allow monitoring of items such as spindle load, feed rate, and tooling usage. The SFC data collection allows actions based on the machine status and a time interval.  It automatically triggers an email to be sent if a machine has been in setup or a particular downtime for more than a certain amount of time - which can be user defined.
