12. HIGH–SPEED SERIAL BUS (HSSB)
421
The high–speed serial bus (HSSB) enables the high–speed transfer of
large amounts of data between a commercially available IBM PC or
compatible personal computer and a CNC, by connecting them via a
high–speed optical fiber.
On the CNC, the HSSB interface board is installed in an option slot. On
the personal computer, an appropriate interface board is installed.
You can use the FANUC PANEL i instead of a commercial PC. The
FANUC PANEL i comes standard with the HSSB interface.
The use of the HSSB requires an IBM PC/AT compatible computer or
FANUC intelligent terminal. The machine tool builder or end user is
required to procure and maintain the personal computer.
To enable the use of the HSSB, Windows 2000 must have been installed
on the personal computer.
FANUC owns the copyright for the HSSB device driver.
The software mentioned above and the contents of the related manuals
may not be used or reproduced in part or whole without the prior written
permission of FANUC.
