How to Restart FactoryWiz Services
FactoryWiz talks to most machine controls (CNC / PLC) with a dedicated windows service for each control type. By that we mean all Fanuc's are controlled by one service (RYM FOCAS) and all Mazak's controlled by another service (RYM Mazak).
A lot of machine settings, such as IP addresses are pulled in by the service on startup, so sometimes we need to restart them to pull in the new settings. Experienced IT professionals can restart these services from services.msc, all FactoryWiz service start with the prefix of RYM.
