Who is this course for?

For programmers, in-house integrators and safety leads who set zones and speed limits in the controller. Take Basic programming first, because the course creates Tool and User frames.

What it does for your plant

  • Change zones and speed limits with your own people when the cell layout changes.
  • Understand which safety signals go in and out of the controller, and check them.
  • Check the EtherNet/IP safety network when something stops communicating.

Questions about this course

What is DCS on a FANUC robot?
Dual Check Safety: FANUC software that limits robot motion to defined zones and cuts motor power if the robot crosses them, according to FANUC America (checked November 3, 2026).
Does the DCS course replace the risk assessment of the cell?
No. The course teaches you to set up DCS, and every zone has to appear in the risk assessment of your cell. What the rules in Mexico ask for is in the palletizing cell safety guide.
How long is the FANUC DCS course?
16 hours, in 2 sessions of 8 hours each. Half is theory and half is hands-on, with one robot per student.
