switch KRC1 to KRC2

Not sure why you would need to change the PM?
Machine data on the software side, leads/adapters on the hardware side and your done

The C2 uses a servo amp for each axis, but depending on the rating you may need to swap some out.

What robot are you using and what was the C2 controller used on?

that is just a video clip of the 6-axis robot, it does not show model number, motor part numbers or other useful info (looks like KR150...KR240).
if you are getting KRC2 controller, you need to make sure that drives in the cabinet match size of the motors.
If you buy more than one controller, then you can mix and match drives (some of my customer buy their robots in bulk on auctions: for this very reason + spare parts).
drives come in sizes of 8A, 16A, 32A and 48A. all drives have label on their front. 8A and 16A are same physical size, 32A is wider, and 48A is even wider.
A1 drive is in lower light corner, then going to the left you get A2, A3 and A4.
Row above is from right to left A5...A8. If the KRC2 cabinet was used for custom robots (MC for cartesian etc. robot types) then you are likely to see fewer drives (2-4).
Example:

don't know, didn't care at the time (best to avoid temptation, wife would kill me if I bring more stuff home), will ask next time I talk to them...
i guess property of companies that go out of business is sold at very attractive process. what i have seen looked very nice.
one thing they mentioned was to make sure to "be there when riggers start taking things apart...".
apparently they don't care if packed robot and cabinet match and if there is anything in a way (cable) they tend just cut it.

No, I think it is in USA (I am in Canada, close to the border...)

I heard some used robot supplier bought their robots from BMW and VW and that's a lot of robot. Just curious how much he paid for all that robots.

They are in the UK and buy off the car plants. In the past we have had a KRC from the Landrover plant.

If you can i should avoid buying a VKrc2 an look for a normal krc2. you can work with a vkrc but there are some things to consider before buying one.

1. Hardware is different from normal krc, for example plugs on the bottom are not wired the same
2. No I/O, Vkrc are standard without any form of in and outputs. you can ad I/O by adding a devicenet module or something like that.
3. No automatic operation, only automatic external. this means that you either have to buy a plc with it to get it working ore wire a devicenet module with buttons and get it to work that way.
4. Software, the software is different from the standard krl. it may be a little bit harder to programm

The devicenet module i keep mensioning could also be profibus, interbus or something else. depends on what cards are installed.

Personally i would recommend buying a robot with a KRC2 directly. Switch from KRC1 to KRC2 are possibly (Like when the KRC1 is damaged) but if you search in this forum about the procedure, you'll see it can get complicated quickly. For the price difference I'm not sure it's worth it.
Maybe more something like this :

By the way, VKRC2 are Volkswagen-KRC2, means they have Volkswagen special configuration, like Leon said.

Hi
You can find robot and contoller at http://www.eurobots.net

Hi, Leon,

I have one of kr150, one of C1 and one of vKRC2

I'm able to jog robot w/ C1, how can I setup vKRC2?

thanks.
