Description
ANUC A02B-0236-C231 is an operator panel / main operator control interface used in FANUC CNC systems — specifically a Symbolic Main Panel B operator panel (without Machine Data Input, MDI) that forms part of the human-machine interface (HMI) for industrial machine tools and automation controllers.
📌 What It Is
-
Part: Operator panel / machine control panel (Main Panel B).
-
Manufacturer: FANUC (often originally under the GE Fanuc brand).
-
Function: Provides the operator interface, including symbolic control keys and status indicators for machine operation — allowing the operator to control and monitor the CNC machine.
-
MDI: This version does not include a Machine Data Input (MDI) keypad section, so it’s purely the main control key section.
-
Application: Used on Series 0i / 0i-Mate Model B and similar FANUC CNC controllers where a symbolic (icon-based) control panel is installed.
🧩 Key Characteristics
-
Human-Machine Interface (HMI): It serves as the panel where machine operators input commands and control machining functions through keys.
-
Symbolic Keys: This version uses symbolic key topology for interaction (as opposed to English alphanumeric panels).
-
Industrial Use: Designed for CNC machine tools in industrial environments — connecting to the controller via the machine’s operator panel interface circuits.
