# FOCAS version / capability matrix

Authoritative source for the per-CNC-series ranges that
[`FocasCapabilityMatrix`](../../src/Drivers/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.FOCAS/FocasCapabilityMatrix.cs)
enforces at driver init time. Every row cites the Fanuc FOCAS Developer
Kit function whose documented input range determines the ceiling.

**Why this exists** — we have no FOCAS hardware on the bench and no
working simulator. FWLIB (Fwlib64, or Fwlib32 on legacy deployments) returns `EW_NUMBER` / `EW_PARAM` when you
hand it an address outside the controller's supported range; the
driver would map that to a per-read `BadOutOfRange` at steady state.
Catching at `InitializeAsync` with this matrix surfaces operator
typos + mismatched series declarations as config errors before any
session is opened, which is the only feedback loop available without
a live CNC to read against.

**Who declares the series** — `FocasDeviceOptions.Series` in
`appsettings.json`. Defaults to `Unknown`, which is permissive — every
address passes validation. Pre-matrix configs don't break on upgrade.

## Series covered

| Enum value | Controller family | Typical era |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Unknown` | (legacy / not declared) | permissive fallback |
| `Sixteen_i` | 16i / 18i / 21i | 1997-2008 |
| `Zero_i_D` | 0i-D | 2008-2013 |
| `Zero_i_F` | 0i-F | 2013-present, general-purpose |
| `Zero_i_MF` | 0i-MF | 0i-F lathe variant |
| `Zero_i_TF` | 0i-TF | 0i-F turning variant |
| `Thirty_i` | 30i-A / 30i-B | 2007-present, high-end |
| `ThirtyOne_i` | 31i-A / 31i-B | 30i simpler variant |
| `ThirtyTwo_i` | 32i-A / 32i-B | 30i compact |
| `PowerMotion_i` | Power Motion i-A / i-MODEL A | motion-only controller |

## Macro variable range (`cnc_rdmacro` / `cnc_wrmacro`)

Common macros `1-33` + `100-199` + `500-999` are universal across all
series. Extended macros (`#10000+`) exist only on higher-end series.
The numbers below reflect the extended ceiling per series per the
DevKit range tables.

| Series | Min | Max | Notes |
| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| `Sixteen_i` | 0 | 999 | legacy ceiling — no extended |
| `Zero_i_D` | 0 | 999 | 0i-D still at legacy ceiling |
| `Zero_i_F` / `Zero_i_MF` / `Zero_i_TF` | 0 | 9999 | extended added on 0i-F |
| `Thirty_i` / `ThirtyOne_i` / `ThirtyTwo_i` | 0 | 99999 | full extended set |
| `PowerMotion_i` | 0 | 999 | atypical — limited macro coverage |

## Parameter range (`cnc_rdparam` / `cnc_wrparam`)

| Series | Min | Max |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| `Sixteen_i` | 0 | 9999 |
| `Zero_i_D` / `Zero_i_F` / `Zero_i_MF` / `Zero_i_TF` | 0 | 14999 |
| `Thirty_i` / `ThirtyOne_i` / `ThirtyTwo_i` | 0 | 29999 |
| `PowerMotion_i` | 0 | 29999 |

## PMC letters (`pmc_rdpmcrng` / `pmc_wrpmcrng`)

Addresses are letter + number (e.g. `R100`, `F50.3`). Legacy
controllers omit the `F`/`G` signal groups that 30i-family ladder
programs use, and only the 30i-family exposes `K` (keep-relay) +
`T` (timer).

| Letter | 16i | 0i-D | 0i-F family | 30i family | Power Motion-i |
| --- | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: |
| `X` | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| `Y` | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| `R` | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| `D` | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| `E` | — | yes | yes | yes | — |
| `A` | — | yes | yes | yes | — |
| `F` | — | — | yes | yes | — |
| `G` | — | — | yes | yes | — |
| `M` | — | — | yes | yes | — |
| `C` | — | — | yes | yes | — |
| `K` | — | — | — | yes | — |
| `T` | — | — | — | yes | — |

Letter match is case-insensitive. `FocasAddress.PmcLetter` is carried
as a string (not char) so the matrix can do ordinal-ignore-case
comparison.

## PMC address-number ceiling

PMC addresses are byte-addressed on read + bit-addressed on write;
`FocasAddress` carries the bit index separately, so these are byte
ceilings.

| Series | Max byte | Notes |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| `Sixteen_i` | 999 | legacy |
| `Zero_i_D` | 1999 | doubled since 16i |
| `Zero_i_F` family | 9999 | |
| `Thirty_i` family | 59999 | highest density |
| `PowerMotion_i` | 1999 | |

## Error surface

When a tag fails validation, `FocasDriver.InitializeAsync` throws
`InvalidOperationException` with a message of the form:

```
FOCAS tag '<name>' (<address>) rejected by capability matrix: <reason>
```

`<reason>` is the verbatim string from `FocasCapabilityMatrix.Validate`
and always names the series + the documented limit so the operator
can either raise the limit (if wrong) or correct the CNC series they
declared (if mismatched). Sample:

```
FOCAS tag 'X_axis_macro_ext' (MACRO:50000) rejected by capability
matrix: Macro variable #50000 is outside the documented range
[0, 9999] for Zero_i_F.
```

## How this matrix stays honest

- Every row is covered by a parameterized test in
  [`FocasCapabilityMatrixTests.cs`](../../tests/Drivers/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.FOCAS.Tests/FocasCapabilityMatrixTests.cs)
  — 46 cases across macro / parameter / PMC-letter / PMC-number
  boundaries + unknown-series permissiveness + rejection-message
  content + case-insensitivity.
- Widening or narrowing a range in the matrix without updating this
  doc will fail a test, because the theories cite the specific row
  they reflect in their `InlineData`.
- The matrix is not comprehensive — it encodes only the subset of
  FOCAS surface the driver currently exposes (Macro / Parameter /
  PMC). When the driver gains a new capability (e.g. tool management,
  alarm history), add its series-specific range tables here + matching
  tests at the same time.

## Follow-up

This validation closes the cheap half of the FOCAS hardware-free
stability gap — config errors now fail at load instead of per-read.
The expensive half is Tier-C process isolation so that a crashing
`Fwlib64.dll` doesn't take the main OPC UA server down with it. See
[`docs/v2/implementation/focas-isolation-plan.md`](implementation/focas-isolation-plan.md)
for that plan (task #220).

## Real-hardware validation (first live FOCAS contact)

**2026-06-25 — FANUC 31i-B (Makino Pro 5), `10.201.31.5:8193`.** The first time the managed wire
client met real FOCAS hardware. The control answers **PDU version 3**; the 10-byte header framing and
response block envelope are byte-identical to v1 (only the version field differs). `cnc_sysinfo`
reports CncType 31, Series `G431`, 7 axes (X Y Z B C A A), MtType MM.

| Command family | v3 result | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `cnc_sysinfo`, `cnc_rdaxisname`, `cnc_rdspdlname` | ✅ validated | identity / axis / spindle names |
| `cnc_rddynamic2` (positions, feed, spindle, program/seq) | ✅ validated | 1-based axis iteration; program O-number reads via big-endian |
| `cnc_rdopmode`, `cnc_exeprgname2` | ✅ validated | mode + executing program |
| `cnc_rdmacro` | ✅ validated | deployed `MACRO:3901/3902` tags read Good |
| `cnc_rdtimer` | ✅ validated | 8-byte {minute, msec} payload is **little-endian** (unlike the big-endian envelope) |
| `pmc_rdpmcrng` | ✅ validated | request range must be widened to the data-type byte width (`end = start + width - 1`) |
| `cnc_rdsvmeter` | ✅ validated | per-axis LOADELM is **8 bytes**, not 12; names come from the 0x0089 block; load *scaling* unconfirmed |
| `cnc_rdalmmsg2` | ✅ validated | read a live active alarm (`#3080`) |
| `cnc_rdparam` | ❌ **unsupported** | `EW_FUNC` across 14 request-framing variants × 4 known-present params — likely wrong v3 command id (`0x000e`) or restricted on this control; needs a reference FWLIB trace |
