Chapter 3
FANUC CNC Configuration
In this chapter you initially configure your FANUC 30i-B, 31i-B, 32i-B, or 35i-B CNC, set up the CNC
communication, and create a new project file for your CNC application. The intent is to provide a quick setup
for an EtherNet/IP connection between a Rockwell Automation ControlLogix/GuardLogix PLC and a
FANUC 30i-B, 31i-B, 32i-B, or 35i-B CNC.
The overall CNC configuration and parameterization is not being addressed by this quick start, and is the
responsibility of the machine tool builder.
