Isa vs PCI Interbus cards from Phoenix

[markopo]

Hi all.
For a some time I'm totally down. I have problem with interbus cards on Isa and new one. Bytheway the interbus cards on isa are out of production in Phoenix. IBS ISA SC/RI-LK. Cards which are available to buy are used by us IBS PCI SC/RI-LK (fiber optics).
I have question how quickly change configuration when it's needed to swap isa card to pci card. (interbus.ini and ibspci1.ini and iosys.ini)? and svc file from interbus
Anyone use this kind of cards in his firm? or maintanance them? KRC1.

I didn't quite get all that, but I can say that switching from ISA to PCI can be an issue.  A lot depends on what motherboard and KSS you have.  Some KRC1 motherboards don't even *have* PCI slots.  In some earlier versions of KSS, the drivers may not support the PCI card. 

The only approach I am certain would work would be to replace the robot's PC unit with a newer model, KSS, and updated interface cards, then install a backup from your current system.  I've done it, but it's expensive.  Honestly, I think your best course of action is to contact KUKA Robotics service with the serial #s and version #s of your controller, robot, and KSS, and speak with them at some length about what your options are.  What you can do will depend heavily on what version each of those is.
