Because FANUC FOCAS libraries are compiled in C, Python cannot run them directly without a bridge. There are two primary methods to connect Python to FOCAS: fanuc focas python

def get_status(self): status = ctypes.c_short() ret = focas.cnc_statinfo(self.handle, ctypes.byref(status)) return status.value if ret == 0 else None John downloaded the FANUC FOCAS Python library and
if ret == 0: for i in range(4): # First 4 axes print(f"Axis i: pos.disp[i]:.3f mm")
