Hello guys,
I have here Kuka KR30-3 KRC4 V8.3.14
Need help with 24v digital output. My first time working on KUKA
Please help
Thanks

You didn't explain the problem.
-
I need 24v for valve for air supply for router.
-
You need to connect some hardware to the robot.
Easiest and cheapest seems Beckhoff EtherCat IO.
You need EK1100 coupler and at least one module with digital outputs for 24v -
I have Beckhoff EtherCat 16 I/O inside the controller.
How do i make them work inside my program? -
physical IO need to be integrated into WorkVisual project and mapped to robot I/O before use.
check download section here for Beckhoff device description files. -
I used workvisual to mapp them.
How do i know where output 1which is inside the controller where is it inside the software? -
Sorry guys for bad explanation im getting frustrated with this stuff. I guess im not smart enough! Lol

then read the manual or WoV help such as "fieldbus configuration".
1. install WoV
2. get all device description files from whatever manufacturer (siemens, AB, Omron, Festo, ...)
3. integrate all of those into DTM catalog (File Import/Export/Device description...)
4. check versions of your tech packages (see https://www.robot-forum.com/robotforum/kuk…rum/read-first/)
5. integrate KOP files into your WoV (could be found on D:\ of the controller)
6. get project from robot controller
7. save it (on your laptop)
8. save as ("new file name")
9. activate it (double click on controller in WoV)
10. expand busses, if one you need is not there insert it (for EthernetIP and Profinet, software need to be installed on controller)
11. if using EtherCat, add EK1100 (latest FW) from DTM catalog to KEB (X44)
12. add other cards like inputs and outputs
13. edit IO desciptions using symbol editor
14. map real IO to robot IO
15. deploy project to controller and activate it
16. if you screw up, use project from step 7 and repeat steps 8-16 until everything works. -
you can provide picture of your I/Os in the cabinet too (if you have any).
-
Can I ask if you are turning this on with KRL script or manually using the digital I/O toggle screen?
-
it does not matter... once they are configured you can use them any way you like:
when you are in T1 and no program is executed, you can manually toggle outputs (unless they are assigned to some system output).
if you are running program (any mode), program can control the outputs (unless they are assigned to some system output).
-
Figured out I/O let me tell something....it wasnt easy...but i never worked on Kuka. Ill be runing input and outputs inside program.
