Don't poll too aggressively. Most real-time monitoring applications run at 1-10 Hz (1-10 samples per second), which provides excellent time resolution without overwhelming the CNC's Ethernet interface.

Which you need to collect (alarms, macro variables, tool life)? Don't poll too aggressively
To communicate with a Fanuc controller in Python, you generally follow these steps: pyfanuc · PyPI
From a technical standpoint, FOCAS uses a proprietary protocol over TCP/IP. FANUC provides C/C++ libraries ( fwlib32.dll on Windows, libfwlib64.so on Linux). To use Python, we need a wrapper around these native libraries. FANUC provides C/C++ libraries ( fwlib32
# Get CNC status (0=Standby, 1=Running, 2=Alarm) status = ctypes.c_short() ret = focas.cnc_statinfo(handle, ctypes.byref(status))
