This walk through will show you how to find out, without looking in any cabinets.Start by pressing [SYS] button to display the following page:
From this screen press the right {+} screen button until you see a screen button called {ETHPRM}, as shown below:
If you do not see {ETHPRM}, then the machine does not have Ethernet.
If you do have {ETHPRM}, press this screen button to display the available Ethernet connection. In the example above there is the standard EMBEDDED PORT and the FAST ETHERNET BOARD.
If your machine has either of these listed, then you have Ethernet. If it says PCMCIA, select {OPRT} and you might be able to change it to EMBEDDED. If you have PCMCIA, a card from Fanuc can be used to collect data.
Note: Different versions of Fanuc controls have slight variations on ETHPRM, some have ETH PARAM / ETHER / etc.Does not have Ethernet or Focas | Could have Ethernet | Has Ethernet as standard |
O Series | 0i-B (with PCMCIA) | 0i-D/F |
3 / 6 Series | 0i-C | 16i / 18i B |
16 / 15 / 18 / 21 (non i) | 21i-B | 30i Series |
15i-A/B |

16i / 18i / 21i A* |

*It is possible to have ethernet on 16i / 18i A series controls as this was an option from Fanuc. We estimate only 10% of these controls have ethernet. It is normally only on more high end machinery.
