HI,guys!
I am working with KRC2 ed05 KSS5.6, I have a thought in my mind: when the kcp is defective, and there is no more kcp available at present, if i want to make the robot run normally as usual, so Is it possible to replace the KCP2 with a external monitor and keyboard??
I know there will be canbus communication fault and also ESTOP when KCP2 was removed from KRC.
If it is possible,Does anybody know how to change the wiring??
Thanks in advance,Your suggestion will be much appreciated.
question about KCP2 replacement????

You will be able to get KCP's for many years to come. KUKA will keep spareparts for at minimum 10 years after sales stop.
The KRC2 was discontinued in 2011-2012, so you will be able to get spares from KUKA until 2022.
If you want to run your robot longer than that there is a good chance that KUKA will keep selling the KCP's (KCP for KRC1 is still stocked, and it's 13 years since stop of production now.).There is also the possibility to buy used KCP's/robots/controllers from plants that are upgrading their equipment.

It's not possible. Emergency stop circuit bridgeable but CAN bus required.
