Manual for setting external axis ???

[Ivac]

Hi boys,
do you have someone manual for setting parameters for external axis It´s very difficult for me without manual. 
Preferably in english pdf. 
Thanx U!!!

Just setting up the Axis parameters is easy.  Go to SETUP>SERVICE>AXISCONFIGURATOR.  From here, you can set up the number of external axes and their parameters.

If you've bought KUKA servo motors, all you have do really do is tell the Configurator which motor you're using, and then what the ratio is between your motor and the unit it's driving (in revolutions/deg for a radial axis, rev/mm for a linear one).

If you bought non-KUKA motors, you're going to have to take all the baseline data for that servo motor and translate it into KUKA variables.

Now, if you have to set up external kinematics, that's another story.

I've need this manual, for config and how to sincronized robot with external axis

  thank you, SkyeFire ... I set everything what you send ago, but finally problem was in conector on RDW card. One pin was not connected.

Thanx once more and have a nice day!

Ah, yes, the RDW cable.  One of the most notorious failure-prone points on the KRC1 and KRC2 series controllers.  Whenever I have an RDW problem, the connector pins on both ends are the first thing I check.  It's very easy to insert the connector wrong and push one or more of the pins out of their catches.  So even when the connector looks fully seated, the damaged pins can look perfectly straight, but will allow themselves to be pushed back into the connector housing instead of pushing into the holes in the female connector.  With a little luck, a pair of needle-nose pliers can fix this problem: grab the "short" pin and pull it firmly but gently until you feel it "latch" into place.
