Does anyone know if there is a module that can be used with Fanuc FOCAS enabled CNC machines.

There's an MTConnect driver in the showcase, IIRC. Otherwise you'll need Kepware. The underlying protocol drivers are Windows-only and do not play well with Java.

yes, i saw MTConnect driver info. Since our machines already equipped FOCAS, we are trying to use them. I'm pretty new to Kepware. Any information how i should use Kepware to communicate with FOCAS? Thank you,

I was asked by Ignition team that Focas can be connected to ignition OPC connection.  
This is an instruction guide: [Integrating Fanuc FASOPC with Ignition SCADA | Corso Systems](https://corsosystems.com/posts/integrating-fanuc-fasopc-and-ignition)

However, now i have this below issue:

I think issue is here:

I don't know how to set the localhost:xxxx/discovery portion. Don't know where to find xxxxx numbers. Can anyone help?

@Faz - have you figured out the solution to the above, i.e. how to configure FASOPC tag addressing in Kepware? I am interested.

Alejandro, can you edit your post to give a link to the source of these instructions?  
It's not ChatGPT again, is it?
