Protocol converter FBR-100AN/FBR-100

Ethernet

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. 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.
