FANUC Virtualization & Simulation

Engineering Service provides end-to-end FANUC Virtualization & Simulation services using industry-standard FANUC tools and enterprise virtualization platforms. The firm's engineering team specializes in FANUC RoboGuide for offline programming and cell-level simulation, FANUC Virtual Robot Controller (VRC) for controller-level virtual commissioning, and integration with FANUC R-30iB / R-30iB Plus controllers. Projects routinely include configuration with the FANUC FOCAS PC communication library and OPC UA / OPC Classic gateways to validate communications to Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and Siemens S7 PLCs over EtherNet/IP and PROFINET. Services begin with structured requirements analysis, producing IEC 61131-3-compliant functional specifications, I/O lists, signal mapping, and ISA-88/ISA-95-aligned integration matrices. Software design follows best practices: version control (Git), modular PLC and robot programs, unit test plans, and model-based verification where appropriate. The team implements model-in-the-loop (MIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) workflows to validate control logic, safety interlocks, and motion profiles before any site intervention. Virtual commissioning and simulation deliverables include full RoboGuide cell models, virtual I/O racks, HMI screens replicated in a VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine, and Virtual Robot Controller instances for exact controller behavior. This enables detailed cycle-time analysis, reachability checks, collision detection, payload and TCP validation, and optimized path planning to reduce first-pass commissioning time. FAT documentation and execution are provided as formal test protocols with pass/fail criteria, traceability to requirements, and measured KPIs. On-site activities include SAT, live commissioning with staged handoffs, fine-tuning of robot gains and TCPs, and performance optimization to meet takt times. Safety integration follows ISO 13849 and IEC 61508 guidance; safety PLCs and safety-rated I/O are validated in simulation to confirm safe stop, guarded access, and category requirements. Training services for operators and maintenance teams use the same virtual models in hands-on labs to accelerate knowledge transfer and reduce operator errors. For ongoing support, Engineering Service offers remote diagnostics via secure VPN, FOCAS-based telemetry, firmware and software patch management, and subscription maintenance agreements. Deliverables—functional specifications, I/O lists, test protocols, and commissioning reports—are supplied as part of the contract and meet industry audit requirements. The firm’s practical experience with FANUC platforms and control-system integration reduces downtime, improves commissioning predictability, and lowers total cost of ownership for automated cells.
