FANUC MTConnect Server allows machine tool builders and end-users to quickly and easily add MTConnect functionality to their machine so that machine data can be collected using the standard MTConnect protocol. With the MTConnect standard, machine tools, and other manufacturing equipment can provide data in a standardized structured XML format, eliminating the confusion of handling multiple proprietary formats.

FASMTC is available on the following CNC systems:

• Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL A
• Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL B
• Series 0i-MODEL D
• Series 0i-MODEL F

Simple Installation
FANUC MTConnect Server can be installed on an industrial PC, embedded PC or other PC at the machine tool. Windows 7 and 10 are the primary operating systems that are currently supported. The FANUC MTConnect Server package consists of the FANUC MTConnect Adapter and a standard MTConnect agent, however, it can be connected to an existing MTConnect adapter if one is available. Configuration can be completed quickly and easily using the simple Windows UI.

Communication Flow
Data is sent from the FANUC CNC to the PC where the FASMTC software is installed using the FANUC FOCAS protocol over a standard Ethernet connection. FASMTC converts the data to the structured MTConnect XML and is sent to the data collection PC or any other MTConnect client application.
