Architecture and Hardware Selection
In this chapter you are introduced to the FANUC CNC Express software to create an EtherNet/IP bill of
materials for your CNC system. The CNC Express software provides the means to select hardware and software
from FANUC that are stocked locally in the United States. This is for reference only, and is not to be used for
final product selection. Please contact your local FANUC representative prior to purchase.
Use either the Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publicatio
y
Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication
, to configure the Rockwell Automation system, or to
select the power distribution components for the CNC control system. Be sure that an 1756-EN2TR or
1756-EN3TR Ethernet module is selected for the Rockwell Automation system.
To assist you with a possible architecture and hardware selection, reference the CNC Work Cell machine
application. The CNC Work Cell machine application is an example only, with the focus of the toolkit being the
integration between the Rockwell Automation GuardLogix controller and the FANUC CNC.

for a CNC work cell application example.
