Chapter 3

FANUC CNC Configuration

Create a New Project File

Throughout the rest of this chapter, the controller and network configuration procedures are written specifically
for an S35i-B CNC. Steps for other FANUC CNC models are similar. It is assumed that FANUC LADDER III
has been installed and is operational on the development personal computer being used for this task.

The process of creating a new project is based on using an example file that has been pre-written. You must
change the name of the file from the toolkit, to something that is relevant to the application and task being
created.

1.

From the Start menu, launch the FANUC
LADDER III software.

2.

From the File menu, choose Open
Program.

The Open dialog box appears.

3.

Locate the CMAT 35i-B.LAD
file from the CNC Machining
Accelerator toolkit DVD, and
select OPEN.
