CODESYS Powered Software PLC, HMI and EtherCAT Motion

All‑in‑One PLC, HMI, and Motion Control

FANUC Software PLC with Operator Panel and Process Axis Control transforms the robot controller into a complete, all‑in‑one automation platform—eliminating the need for an external PLC and reducing system complexity. Built on IEC 61131‑3 with CODESYS, it manages sequence logic, I/O, and coordination directly in the controller, while browser‑based HMIs provide intuitive, hardware‑free operation. Process Axis Control extends motion control to external axes over EtherCAT for synchronized, high‑performance automation. The result is a compact, scalable solution that speeds commissioning and delivers smarter, more responsive production systems.

Software PLC with Operator Panel and Process Axis Control

FANUC Software PLC with Operator Panel and Process Axis Control transforms the robot controller into a powerful, all‑in‑one automation platform. Built on the IEC 61131‑3 standard and programmed with CODESYS, the Software PLC eliminates the need for an external PLC by handling sequence control, I/O logic, and cell coordination directly inside the robot controller—reducing hardware, wiring, and integration costs.

The Software PLC Operator Panel adds intuitive, browser‑based HMIs that run on PCs or tablets, enabling real‑time monitoring and control with custom dashboards, buttons, indicators, and charts—no additional HMI hardware required. For advanced motion needs, Process Axis Control extends control beyond the robot by driving external axes over EtherCAT, supporting synchronized position, speed, and torque control using PLCopen motion libraries.

Together, these options deliver a compact, flexible, and scalable automation solution that accelerates commissioning, simplifies maintenance, and empowers manufacturers to build smarter, more responsive production systems with FANUC reliability at the core.
