Learn to create your first Fanuc ladder project, choose hardware and memory, configure PMC paths and safety DCS, and structure code with main and divided projects and levels.
Explore the Fanuc ladder three interface, customize the program suite, manage projects with the tub file, and use commands, toolbar, soft key, and trace to connect to a PLC.
Explore Fanuc PLC memory layout, including X input, E output, F and G CNC communication, and retentive vs non-retentive areas, timers, counters, subprograms, and status signals.
Explore common ladder instructions in Fanuc programming, including open and normally closed contacts, set/reset, rising and falling edges, and negation; learn wiring nets, variable usage, and timer insertion.
Learn how to assign meaningful names to variables using symbol comment in FANUC ladder 3, including bool, byte, and word types, input/output prefixes, and comments to clarify code.
Learn complex instructions in Fanuc ladder three, including function blocks with inputs, outputs, parameters, and act signals, plus timers, counters, data transfer, and table operations.
Create and configure function blocks with input, output, and input-output parameters, manage memory, and reuse them; contrast with sub programs that organize code using a pointer area and call.
Compare two fanuc ladder 3 projects using the function difference display to identify differences in subprograms and function blocks, then export and import symbolic data.
Practice boolean logic and decimal conversion in a Fanuc ladder 3 exercise, building symbols for A, B, C, D, and computing or, xor, and results, then perform word-based arithmetic.
Create a function block to manage an oil tube system with analog pressure and flow sensors, converting words to bar and liters per second and performing range checks.
Sample analog sensor data every 100 ms, store 30 samples in a fifo table with a starting address and index, then compute max and min when full.
The course shows how to create a project for programming FANUC PLCs using the Fanuc Ladder 3 application.
The main topics covered in the course are:
· Creating a project from scratch
· Detailed description of all project options
· Architecture of a Fanuc PLC and differences between devices
· Structure of the PLC memory area
· Creating variables
· Basic programming instructions
· Advanced programming instructions
· Subprograms
· Function blocks
· Code comments
· Functionality of the FANUC Ladder 3 application and customization of the workspace (Toolbar and quick commands)
· Summary programming exercises of the concepts learned
· Useful Tips & Tricks (Quick commands to speed up programming and project management)
· Compare two projects and visualize the differences.
Each topic is covered in its entirety without taking anything for granted and without leaving gaps. Therefore, the course is suitable for both beginners and experienced programmers who want to improve their skills.
At the end of the course, you will be able to use the programming suite in all its functions and be able to create medium-complexity projects with the quality of a professional.
I will be available to answer any questions you may have regarding doubts or curiosities about the course topics.
The course will be constantly updated with respect to new technologies and introduced updates
You can follow the course even if you have not yet installed the Fanuc LADDER 3 application as everything will be shown from my screen including the solution of the exercises
