Joseph Doherty 33054c3275 docs: drop dangling FOCAS refs + link unreferenced v2 design docs
- docs/drivers/FOCAS.md and docs/v2/implementation/focas-wire-protocol.md
  pointed at focas-deployment.md and focas-simulator-plan.md, both of
  which were untracked drafts that have since been removed. Drop the
  refs (the wire-protocol companion now stands on its own; deployment
  guidance lives inline in the FOCAS driver doc).
- Link the orphan v2 design docs from docs/README.md (multi-host
  dispatch, v2 release readiness, the historical lmx-followups tracker)
  and from modbus-test-plan.md (s7.md, mitsubishi.md per-family quirk
  catalogs, sibling to dl205.md).

Surfaced by the doc audit; no content changes.

# FOCAS Driver
Getting-started guide for the FANUC FOCAS2 driver. This is the short path — for
the exhaustive per-node mapping read [`docs/v2/driver-specs.md §7`](../v2/driver-specs.md),
for the test-harness map read [FOCAS-Test-Fixture.md](FOCAS-Test-Fixture.md).
## What it talks to
FANUC CNCs (0i-D / 0i-F / 0i-MF / 0i-TF / 16i / 30i / 31i / 32i / Power Motion i)
over the proprietary FOCAS2 protocol on TCP port 8193. The wire is spoken
directly by the pure-managed [`Focas.Wire`](https://github.com/Ladder99/focas-mock)
client — no Fwlib64.dll, no P/Invoke, no out-of-process isolation needed.
OtOpcUa is **read-only** against FOCAS; all reads go over the native wire
protocol using the documented command IDs. Writes return
`BadNotWritable` by design.
## Project split
| Project | Target | Role |
|---------|--------|------|
| `src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.FOCAS/` | net10.0 | In-process driver — hosts `WireFocasClient` which speaks FOCAS2 over TCP directly |
Previous `Driver.FOCAS.Host` / `Driver.FOCAS.Shared` Tier-C split has been
retired — the managed wire client removes the native-crash blast radius
that justified the out-of-process service.
## Minimum deployment
Register the driver instance in the main server's `appsettings.json`. No
separate service, no DLL deployment, no shared-secret handshake:
```jsonc
"Drivers": {
"focas-cnc-1": {
"Type": "FOCAS",
"Config": {
"Backend": "wire",
"Devices": [
{ "HostAddress": "focas://10.20.30.40:8193", "Series": "ThirtyOne_i" }
],
"Tags": [
{ "Name": "Mode", "DeviceHostAddress": "focas://10.20.30.40:8193",
"Address": "PARAM:3402", "DataType": "Int32", "Writable": false },
{ "Name": "SpndLoad", "DeviceHostAddress": "focas://10.20.30.40:8193",
"Address": "MACRO:500", "DataType": "Float64", "Writable": false }
]
}
}
}
```
The main server opens two TCP sockets per configured device and speaks the
FOCAS2 binary protocol directly. No local privileged components, no
platform bitness constraint — the driver runs on every host OtOpcUa runs
on.
## Address forms
| Form | Example | Meaning |
|------|---------|---------|
| `X0.0` / `R100` / `R100.3` | PMC bit or byte | Letter + number; optional `.bit` for bit access |
| `PARAM:1815` / `PARAM:1815/0` | CNC parameter | Number + optional axis index |
| `MACRO:500` | Custom macro variable | System / user macro variable number |
Addresses are validated against the per-device `Series` at `InitializeAsync`
a config referencing a number outside the documented range for that series
fails at load time with an error message naming the limit. See
[`docs/v2/focas-version-matrix.md`](../v2/focas-version-matrix.md) for the
authoritative range table.
## Backend selection
The driver picks its client from `Config.Backend`:
| Value | Client | Use it for |
|-------|--------|------------|
| `wire` (default) | `WireFocasClient` | Production — pure-managed FOCAS2 over TCP |
| `unimplemented` / `none` / `stub` | `UnimplementedFocasClientFactory` | Scaffolding a DriverInstance row before the CNC endpoint is reachable |
Previous backends (`fwlib`, `fwlib32`, `ipc`) have been retired along
with `Driver.FOCAS.Host` and the Fwlib P/Invoke path. Configs that still
reference them will throw at startup with a message pointing here.
## Capability surface
| Capability | Wire path | Notes |
|------------|-----------|-------|
| `IReadable` | `ReadAsync``cnc_rdpmcrng` / `cnc_rdparam` / `cnc_rdmacro` | One TCP request/response per read; `Focas.Wire` serializes requests on socket 2 internally |
| `IWritable` | returns `BadNotWritable` | OtOpcUa is read-only against FOCAS by design — no `cnc_wrparam` / `pmc_wrpmcrng` / `cnc_wrmacro` path is implemented |
| `ITagDiscovery` | `DiscoverAsync` | Emits `FOCAS/{device}/{tag}` folders per configured device |
| `ISubscribable` | polled via shared `PollGroupEngine` | FOCAS has no push model — subscriptions turn into per-tag polling groups |
| `IHostConnectivityProbe` | periodic `cnc_rdcncstat` | Probe cadence is `Probe.Interval`; transitions fire `OnHostStatusChanged` |
| `IPerCallHostResolver` | lookup in `_tagsByName` | Each call routes to the device of the referenced tag |
| `IAlarmSource` | polled `cnc_rdalmmsg2` via `FocasAlarmProjection` | Opt-in — set `AlarmProjection.Enabled=true`; diffs `(AlarmNumber, Type)` between ticks |
Ack is a no-op — FANUC clears alarms on its own once the underlying condition
resolves, so `AcknowledgeAsync` swallows the batch rather than surfacing
`BadNotSupported`.
## Fixed node tree
Enable a pre-defined hierarchy of CNC nodes populated automatically from
`cnc_sysinfo` + `cnc_rdaxisname` + `cnc_rddynamic2` + related FWLIB calls,
so operators get an out-of-the-box view of identity / axes / program /
timers without declaring per-address tags.
```jsonc
"Config": {
"Devices": [ ... ],
"Tags": [ ... ],
"FixedTree": {
"Enabled": true,
"PollInterval": "00:00:00.250", // fast — per-axis dynamic reads
"ProgramPollInterval": "00:00:01", // medium — program + mode changes
"TimerPollInterval": "00:00:30" // slow — cumulative counters
}
}
```
What gets populated (all under `FOCAS/{deviceHostAddress}/`):
| Subtree | Nodes | Source call |
|---------|-------|-------------|
| `Identity/` | `SeriesNumber`, `Version`, `MaxAxes`, `CncType`, `MtType`, `AxisCount` | `cnc_sysinfo` once at bootstrap |
| `Axes/{name}/` | `AbsolutePosition`, `MachinePosition`, `RelativePosition`, `DistanceToGo`, `ServoLoad` — one folder per discovered axis | `cnc_rdaxisname` once + `cnc_rddynamic2` + `cnc_rdsvmeter` per tick |
| `Axes/FeedRate/Actual`, `Axes/SpindleSpeed/Actual` | Current feed + spindle RPM | `cnc_rddynamic2` |
| `Spindle/{name}/` | `Load` (percentage), `MaxRpm` — one folder per discovered spindle | `cnc_rdspdlname` once + `cnc_rdspload` + `cnc_rdspmaxrpm` |
| `Program/` | `Name` (filename), `ONumber`, `Number`, `MainNumber`, `Sequence`, `BlockCount` | `cnc_exeprgname2` + `cnc_rdblkcount` + cached `cnc_rddynamic2` |
| `OperationMode/` | `Mode` (int), `ModeText` ("AUTO", "MDI", "EDIT", …) | `cnc_rdopmode` |
| `Timers/` | `PowerOnSeconds`, `OperatingSeconds`, `CuttingSeconds`, `CycleSeconds` | `cnc_rdtimer` × 4 |
### Per-series node suppression
The driver probes each optional call once at bootstrap. If the target CNC
returns `EW_FUNC` / `EW_NOOPT` / `EW_VERSION` on the wire, the
corresponding subtree is **not emitted** — the operator doesn't see nodes
that will only ever return `BadDeviceFailure`. Capability suppression
covers `Spindle/`, `Program/` + `OperationMode/`, `Timers/`, and
per-axis `ServoLoad` independently. Identity + `Axes/*` position reads
(which every Fanuc CNC supports) are always emitted.
Position values are scaled integers (matching FOCAS's convention). The
managed side exposes them as `Float64` OPC UA nodes; a future
`cnc_getfigure` integration will add per-axis decimal scaling. Until
then, treat the raw integer as the value the CNC reports and scale on
the client side if decimal precision matters.
**Still user-authored**: `PARAM:6711`, `MACRO:500`, `R100` etc. — specific
numbers whose meaning is MTB-specific. Those go under the device folder
alongside the fixed subtree.
## Alarm projection
Alarm surfacing is **disabled by default** because the polling cost is wasted
on sites that don't consume CNC alarms. Opt in per driver instance:
```jsonc
"Config": {
"Devices": [ ... ],
"Tags": [ ... ],
"AlarmProjection": {
"Enabled": true,
"PollInterval": "00:00:02"
}
}
```
Every alarm transition fires `OnAlarmEvent` with:
- `SourceNodeId` = the device host address (FOCAS has no per-node alarm model;
the CNC exposes a single flat active-alarm list per session)
- `ConditionId` = `"{host}#{Type}:{AlarmNumber}"`
- `AlarmType` = projected from FANUC's `ALM_TYPE_*` (e.g. `Overtravel`, `Servo`,
`Parameter`, `MacroAlarm`)
- `Severity` = Overtravel / Servo / PulseCode → `Critical`; Parameter / Macro
`Medium`; everything else → `High`
Cleared alarms fire a second event with `" (cleared)"` appended to the message
so downstream consumers can ignore the clear if they only care about raises.
## Handle recycling
FANUC CNCs have a finite FWLIB handle pool (~510 concurrent connections) and
certain series have documented handle-leak bugs that manifest after long uptime.
The driver can proactively close + reopen each device's session on a cadence to
release its slot back to the pool:
```jsonc
"Config": {
"Devices": [ ... ],
"HandleRecycle": {
"Enabled": true,
"Interval": "01:00:00"
}
}
```
Disabled by default — a healthy CNC + driver doesn't need it. Enable when field
experience shows handle exhaustion. Typical tuning: 30 min for sites running
multiple OtOpcUa instances against the same CNC (they share the pool); 6 h for a
single-client deployment. Reads / writes during recycle simply wait for the
reconnect rather than failing — worst case, an operator sees a brief read
latency spike once per cadence.
## Testing
- **Unit tests** — `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.FOCAS.Tests/` cover the
driver surface via `FakeFocasClient`. Includes the alarm-projection raise /
clear diffing tests.
- **Integration tests** — `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.FOCAS.IntegrationTests/`
hold the Docker simulator scaffold; see
[`docs/v2/implementation/focas-wire-protocol.md`](../v2/implementation/focas-wire-protocol.md)
for what the simulator emits vs. real CNC behaviour.
- **E2E script** — `scripts/e2e/test-focas.ps1` stages Host + Proxy + a real
CNC (or the simulator) and exercises connect → read → write → subscribe
round-trips. See [`docs/drivers/FOCAS-Test-Fixture.md`](FOCAS-Test-Fixture.md)
for the coverage map.
## Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---------|--------------|-----|
| `BadCommunicationError` on every read | CNC unreachable on TCP:8193 | Check firewall / LAN reachability; FOCAS Ethernet option must be licensed on the CNC side |
| Every read returns `BadNotWritable` on writes | Expected — OtOpcUa is read-only against FOCAS | If you actually need writes, open a feature request — the driver's managed wire client doesn't expose the write commands |
| `BadOutOfRange` on reads for a macro/parameter | Config address outside the declared `Series` range | Check `docs/v2/focas-version-matrix.md` — either fix the address or widen the `Series` |
| Alarm events never fire | `AlarmProjection.Enabled` left at default (false) | Set it to `true` in the driver config |
