1. EMBEDDED ETHERNET IN 18iPB CONTROL

Fanuc 18iPB control is equipped with Embedded Ethernet connection which can be used to
transfer part programs to/from FTP server from/to CNC (FTP = File Transfer Protocol). In this
manual it is described how the FTP server is set up with WFTPD Pro v3.10 Program.
Necessary modifications to CNC parameters are also described.

Described connection is from the standalone PC (with network card) to the CNC with a
cross-wired cable with default settings. If connected through the network hub, consult
your network administrator before making any changes to computer network settings.

2. FAST ETHERNET IN 0iPC CONTROL

In the Fanuc 0iPC control Ethernet connection is a Option (Fast Ethernet board in the CNC
needed). This Ethernet connection can be used to transfer part programs to/from FTP server
from/to CNC (FTP = File Transfer Protocol). In this manual it is described how the FTP server
is set up with WFTPD Pro v3.10 Program. Necessary modifications to CNC parameters are
also described.

Described connection is from the standalone PC (with network card) to the CNC with a
cross-wired cable with default settings. If connected through the network hub, consult
your network administrator before making any changes to computer network settings.

7. TESTING THE CONNECTION FROM THE PC TO THE CNC

Before trying to establish the connection make sure that cross-wired Ethernet cable is
connected between CNC (connector: ETHERNET JD38A in 18iPB and JD38R in 0iPC) and
FTP-server PC network card. Cable has to be direct (not cross-wired) if network hub is used
to connection. Settings in the CNC and WFTPD FTP server must also be completed.

After PC and CNC Ethernet settings are completed and the cross-wired Ethernet cable is
connected, test the connection from the PC with ping 192.168.1.10 (CNC default IP address)
command from the Windows command prompt.

If reply from CNC is NOT OK, RE-START the CNC and test again.

If still having problem with communication after CNC re-start, make sure PC and CNC IP
settings are correct and PC network adapter is active and cable is properly connected.

Attention! Check also PC Firewall settings, Ping utilities may be blocked by the firewall
e.g. Windows firewall may block the communication with default setting.

8. TESTING THE CONNECTION FROM THE CNC TO THE PC

Before trying to establish the connection make sure that cross-wired Ethernet cable is
connected between CNC (connector: ETHERNET JD38A in 18iPB and JD38R in 0iPC) and
FTP-server PC network card. Cable has to be direct (not cross-wired) if network hub is used
to connection. Settings in the CNC and WFTPD FTP server must also be completed.

The connection from the CNC to the PC can also be tested using ping command. To access
“PING-page” from the CNC press SYSTEM key in MDI-mode and then PARAM soft key and
after that + soft key four (4) times (in 18iPB), seven (7) times in (0iPC) to access the PAGE in
the below picture.

In this page press ETHMNT and then (OPRT) to enter next page

In this page press EMBEDD (in 18i) and BOARD (in 0iPC) to enter next page.

From this Page the communication from CNC to PC can be tested by writing the PC IP
address 192.168.1.11 (if default values used) and then PING soft-key to start the operation.

If the communication is OK there will be a Reply from the PC, if the communication is
NOT OK there will be a message as in picture below. If the Request is Timed Out make
sure PC and CNC IP settings are correct and PC network adapter is active and cable is
properly connected.

Attention! Check also PC Firewall settings, Ping utilities may be blocked by the firewall
e.g. Windows firewall may block the communication with default setting.

After successful Ping reply from/to PC the FTP-server communication will most
probably work as well.
