Hi Fubini,

I inserted the USB into the controller then copied and paste it into the R1/Program using the Smart pad.

What do you reckon I should do?
samuelcummings April 24, 2025 at 8:15 PM

Marked Lemster68’s post in the thread General and Automatic Mode errors after power off as the best answer.
Best Answer

Yes, indeed. There will be safety relays that need to be reset, e-stops and possibly a safety PLC involved that needs to be looked at.

Thanks Lemster68 , Safety relays were the cause. The cabinet safety interlocks had a faulty connection breaking my chain.

I give up. Your problem is rdp connection from kcp to kss. Has nothing to do with Work Visual at all. You seem to know everything better than anybody else while showing your skills are very limited. My support ends here.

You are thinking wrong. When pc/kss doesn't boot correct, you have no chance to connect with work visual. You can try it anyway, and check your thinking without asking here.
