 What means FIELD?

FIELD stands for FANUC Intelligent Edge Link & Drive System
• Challenge: Production Lines and Machines process huge
Data Amount
• The FIELD System takes the Data up for Analysis close to
the Machines (Edge Side)
• By this, major Requirements of the Internet of Things will
be fulfilled
• High process ability in “real time”
• Autonomous distributed
• Reduce communication cost
• Prevent accidental data leakage

be implemented, in example:
• Predictive Maintenance
• Production Monitoring
• Productivity Improvement ZDT LINKi App. App.
Monitoring
Zero Downtime multiple Equipment
• Machine Learning
All Controllers of a Production Line shall be connected: FIELD system
• CNC of different Manufacturers
• PLCs of different Manufacturers
• Robots of different Manufacturers

 FANUC PICTURE Edition 7.1 Enhancement
30i/31i/32i/35i-B
Create custom screens for New HMI by FANUC PICTURE

Features
• Quality improvement of custom screen
 Flexible font-size
Make screens on PC
 Realistic photos of 65535 colors, Screen parts with
gradation color

• Screen assets can be utilized effectively

 Convert existing screen data into New HMI automatically

Execute from the Home screen

 FANUC PICTURE Edition 7.1

Negative-true logic signals

By adding a leading asterisk to a PMC signal name, it is regarded as a negative-true logic signal. This
simplifies the connection of negative-true PMC signals with FANUC PICTURE controls.
Example: DOOROPEN (regarded as positive-true signal)
*DOOROPEN (regarded as negative-true signal)

Screen data update via network

Update the screen data and FP driver in the CNC
from a computer connected to the CNC via network.
This eliminates BOOT screen operation for updating
and simplifies debugging.
Not available for: PMi-A, iHMI display unit

28
 FANUC PICTURE Edition 7.1

Function symbols
FP functions and arguments can be defined as a
symbol. The symbol can be used as a property of a
FP function or a FP script. Use self-explanatory
symbol names to make the FP project better
understandable. Example: ReadNCStatus[1] → FP_Script[6_1]

Recent projects list

Access recently opened projects easily from
the File menu of FANUC PICTURE. Up to
25 projects are displayed.

29
 FANUC PICTURE Edition 7.1

Character strings in FP scripts

Character strings stored in PMC area, P-code variable or key input buffer can be accessed by new FP
functions for reading and writing strings. This simplifies the handling of strings that shall be modifiable by
the machine operator, e.g. workpiece names or tool names, without modifying the FP project. The
maximum string length is 255 bytes.

Project tree with screen structure

Visualizes the composition of main screens
(with screen structure definition control) and Main screen icon
sub screens (without screen structure control)
Sub screen icon
in the project tree view.
Disabled sub screen icon

30
 FANUC PICTURE Edition 7.1

Custom screen position and size

The position and size of a custom screen can be set
to arbitrary values. This is especially useful if you are
using a 21.5” and 19” display unit.

Home screen notification mark (iHMI)

The notification mark is displayed at the FANUC PICTURE
icon on the home screen. The message can be displayed
in the Information Center.

31
 FANUC PICTURE Edition 7.1

Automatic screen enlargement

Screens created by FANUC PICTURE can be
automatically enlarged or reduced according to
the display unit size. Without changing the original
screen design and edit size, a screen can be
displayed on multiple machines with different
screen sizes.
This function is only available for Panel iH and
Panel iH Pro.
