Adding DeviceNet master card on KRC4

    Hi Everyone! I hope this will be an easy question to answer :

    I have a kuka robot (KRC4) with deviceNet slave card installed and configured, all working. DeviceNet Master is a PLC. Now, for some application, I need my robot to be master on the network. So, I need to add the DeviceNet master card on the robot. I already have the card and I understand that I should put it between the EtherCat Adapter and the DeviceNet slave card (tell me if I am wrong), but there comes my problem :


    --> How do I pull out the whole deviceNet I/O bloc from the din rail ? I don't see anything I can push or pull with a screwdriver like there is usually on din rail mounted equipment ! :hmmm:


    I haven't found any information in the DeviceNet Manual, so if anyone knows, it would be appreciated!
    Thanks a lot!

    [size=2px]This has nothing to do with DeviceNet, it is general info for this type of products and it is irrelevant of module function of used fieldbus type.[/size]


    Just power down I/O block and locate orange tabs on side of the module. gently pull the tabs (towards you) to unlock module from DIN-rail. while unlocked you can slide module out. Often modules can be removed out just by pulling on those tabs but - they also sometimes brake and then you are in trouble, so i suggest caution.

    1) read pinned topic: READ FIRST...

    2) if you have an issue with robot, post question in the correct forum section... do NOT contact me directly

    3) read 1 and 2
