The combination of and Python democratizes factory data. You no longer need a $20,000 MES license to know why your machine is down. With a $50 industrial PC (Raspberry Pi running 32-bit OS) and the Python script above, you can start visualizing your shop floor in real-time. You no longer need a $20,000 MES license
The FOCAS library acts as an intermediary, allowing your Python scripts to "ask" the machine questions and receive detailed data:
ret = fwlib.cnc_allclibhndl3(cnc_ip, ctypes.byref(h))
