Hello KUKA friends, could yopu please somebody chck if ESI file for Weidmueller u-remote EtherCAT Coupler and I/O modules are functional in WorkVisual 2.2 or 2.4 ?
I have ESI file downloaded from Weidmueller website, but I am not able implement this file to sw KUKA.

Than kyou very much Pavel
It looks as it's a modular device, right? As far as i know, KUKA only supports non-modular EtherCat devices, except for some of the Beckhoff devices.
I know of some people who edited esi files to create a "non-modular description" for a modular device.
Hi, thank yoi for idea and information, may be ESI files are not right format for KUKA sw.
I have now Work Visual 3.0.8 and I can import coupler adn IO modules, Coupler was import successfully I thinking but IO modules did not imported. but IO modules sre not in DTM catalogue. Picture 1 added
Second interest is I can try to create Kuka robots project with EtherCAT buss, but I am not able import KUKA system BUS EtherCAT.
Do you have expiriencce with this? Could you please send me help how proceed when I can add EtheCAT buss to KRC4 SR
Picture 2 show how looks liek my project and I do not know how proceed when I can place coupler on system BUS ...
Thenk you very much for help
PAvel
This module is not supported, and unless you feel that you have the knowledge to write your own esi-xml file, then you wont be able to use that module with a KRC4 yet..
The easiest solution would be to get the beckhoff EK1100 ethercat coupler with EL1809 and EL2809 modules for your I/O instead.
Yesterday I search some picture where is ESI file for Weidmueller coupler implement to WorkVisual, you cansee it in picture.
But I am not able repeated it ..... I do not know if missing me some modules for WorkVisula, because I am not able activated Bus Structure.
KCB and SYS-48 etc ... do you have some instruction like peoceed when I can repeat project like on picture, please?
Thx.
Hi, i tried the file from weidmueller and i got the same result. The problem is that you cannot choose the amount iOS. In ek1100 from beckhoff, you add cards and link it to iOS. It seens to be a single module file.
