In 3 months I will be taking delivery on 2 KRC4 systems and 2 KRC4 compact systems, to expand on my KRC2. I am trying to put the finishing touches on the options and configurations before these things get ready to ship. I plan to ask my Kuka rep, but I thought I might get a faster response here to some of my questions, though I realize these may be too specific(that is, depends on what they specified).
OK here goes, any help is appreciated. Apologies if any are dumb, but some of these relate to things we never needed to do on the KRC2 before.
1. Are there any options required to connect the windows side to a typical network(LAN) on either the KRC4 or compact?
2. How is the I/O integrated on the KRC4 compact? Can you use typical WAGO modules, like the 750 series?
3. What is devicenet master? Let me explain...on my KRC2 this was listed in the specs as standard, and I have a typical setup with a WAGO 750-306. On the KRC4 specs, mine specifies a 32 DO/32 DI connected to the kuka extension bus. This was listed as included, and then there was an option for "devicenet master". I don't really need to connect to any external devicenet, as long as I can configure an internal controller like the 750-306, connected to something like an MFC card.
BTW, I am still wondering when someone will post a krc4 manual to the forum...is it top secret or something?
Thanks
Wes
