Switching robot into Auto without PLC.

  • Welcome.
    How can I turn on robot into auto, I have PLC broken, all of safety circuit are implemented. (fence and not-aus).
    Simply, I would like to turn off external control, and just turn on Folge 1 endless to check KRC 1 cabinet.

  • Yes indeed, I like to turn off external controlling by SPS and start testing folge on robot ?
    Is it possible to change configuration ?

  • Does your controller have AUT mode? Some models (for GM and VW, for example) had AUT mode disabled.


    If so, then you should be able to convert the robot from EXT to AUT by:
    1. closing safety contacts on X11
    2. set $MOVE_ENABLE to $IN[1025]
    3. set $DRIVES_OFF to $IN[1025]

  • Those settings are in one of the $MACHINE.DAT files.


    But that only takes care of the motors and Motion Enable. If AUT mode has been removed from the controller, you won't be able to use AUT mode without doing some creative re-wiring in the KRC or the KCP.

  • Skye thank You for the answer.
    I was solved problem with communication with SPS, I had problem with interbus configuration, in IBSPCI1.INI in section [SLAVE] in tab SWAP_SLAVE_BYTES I had value 0 instead to be 1, because SPS is from Siemens which swap bytes (big indian versus little indian).
