Hello all! This is my first post here and I'm hoping to get some answers.
In our factory there is a robot, KR125/2 which is actually pretty old (before 2000). It's driven by a VKRC2 controller, at least that's what is standing on the housing. The software however seems to be V3.3.5 from a VKRC1 robot. We can jog the robot around succesfully so at least something is fine.
We're trying to let the VKRC be controlled by an Embedded Beckhoff PLC over a Profibus cable. Therefore we have placed a CP5614A2 card into slot 3, which is the slot it should be in according to the documentation we have. The problem is that the card does not get started and after all the things we already tried (not succesfully) we're getting desperate. pfbms.ini and iosys.ini are oke according to Kuka.
The question is, is the card compatible with the VKRC1 software? If yes, could it be that the driver files FW_5613.bin and FW5613A2 need to be replaced by newer files that do fit to the CP5614A2?
Thanks in advance! If you need more info, just ask.
