If your Fanuc machine came with PLC editing installed and enabled, then doing that part will be relatively simple. (All of the Fanuc machines I'm currently working with have). But that doesn't mean that yours does. We have Fanuc machines from 3 different manufactures all built around the same time period (2001-2006) and they all have different Ladder editing packages. Some I have to look at and edit the ladder through the control's user interface, others require a separate ladder editing program (that did come installed on the machine.) The trickier part might be finding unused IO points to physically connect to the control. if there are unused io pins available, it might not be much more than adding wires to un used pins on plugs. But it could get expensive if new io modules need to be added to the control.

Hi All I'm looking at getting a small VMC that has a Fanuc 0M controller on it. Much to my chagrin, I found out that there is no I/O on the machine. (for fixtures, probes etc.) I was expecting a Harting plug on the side. So any functionality has to be 'enabled' and hardware added and brought out to a plug. So the hardware side is easy enough, to add a few relays, but then this functionality still has to be enabled in the controllers ladder logic. So does anyone know if this is easy to do? Maybe just a password and do it from the user keypad? Or does one need special cables and codes for a secret society?
