FANUC CRX Interface Commands
Mech-System SocketInit
This command is used to set the IP address of the IPC, port number of IPC, and wait time for TCP/IP communication.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Port of Controller |
The ID of the Ethernet port of the controller used to communicate with the IPC |

The IP address of the IPC |
Port of IPC |
The port number of the IPC configured in Mech-Vision |
Timeout |
Wait time in minutes before stopping connection attempt |
| You only need to configure the communication settings once if the network environment and IP addresses on both sides remain unchanged. |
Mech-Eye Calibration
This command is used for camera extrinsic parameter calibration. It automates the calibration process in conjunction with the Camera Calibration function in Mech-Vision.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Motion Type |
The robot’s motion type (MoveJ or MoveL) during the automatic calibration process |
Data Type |
The pose type (Coordinate or JPS) sent by the robot |
Wait Time |
The time the robot waits to avoid shaking after it moves to the calibration point; the recommended value is 1–5 (s) |
Robot Axis Number |
The axis number of the robot; the default value is 6; set the value to 7 if there is an external 7th axis |
External Axis Data |
Position data of the external 7th axis during calibration (Optional; input 0 when there is no external axis) |
PR Index |
The index of the Position Register where the start point of the calibration is stored |
Mech-Vision Trigger
This command triggers the Mech-Vision project to run.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |

Height |
Height of object in mm |
Mech-Viz Trigger
This command triggers the Mech-Viz project to run.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Position Type |
JPS: Sends the current joint positions of the robot to Mech-Viz to synchronize the robot motion
|
Mech-Viz GetData
This command obtains the planned path from Mech-Viz. It should be used after Mech-Viz Trigger.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|

R Register 3 |
Data Register for storing the sequence number of the picking waypoint in the path |
R Register 4 |
Data Register for storing status code |
Mech-Viz SetBranch
This command is used to select the branch along which the Mech-Viz project should proceed.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Branch Name |
Step ID of the “Branch by Msg” Step in |
Branch Output |
The number of the exit port to take + 1, from 1 to 99 |
Mech-Viz SetIndex
This command sets the value for the Current Index parameter of a Mech-Viz Step. Steps that have this parameter include Move by List, Move by Grid, Custom Pallet Pattern, and Predefined Pallet Pattern.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Move Skill Name |
Step ID of the Step with the index parameter |
Index |
The index parameter of the specified Step will be set to this value, and the parameter’s value should be the current index value in Mech-Viz plus 1 |
Mech-System GetPose
This command stores a vision point returned by Mech-Vision or a waypoint (such as a TCP) in the path returned by Mech-Viz in the specified Position Register. If you want to get multiple vision points or waypoints, you can use this command several times and modify their Position Index respectively.
