Hello,
I have Kawasaki controller D42F. On 1RA LED1 is ON. I test the power supply and everything is OK. On the 1KP all led for voltage supply is ON.
Any suggestions???
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum........
Please provide more detail:
- What was status before problem occurred.
- What is displayed on teach pendant during bootup.
- What have you tried to fix the problem.
- Have you a recent file save (full controller filesave).
The robot has not worked for 2-3 years.
At startup all lights on the front panel are on. Control power, motor power, cycle start, error.
Only the backlight is on the teach pendant, nothing else.
I change the battery on 1RA. LED2 and LED3 also are on.
I have a copy of .as from the compact flash, the flash on the robot is 1GB is this a problem.
I try to make connection whit KCWin32 and KCwinTCP but without any success. Even the lights on the Ethernet port do not flash.
I think that the CPU can not boot or something like this. Is there a way to make a factory reset or something like this.
QuoteThe robot has not worked for 2-3 years.
It is possible data has been lost/corrupted and also disconnection of devices, boards, harnesses.
Compact flash does not exist on D/D+ Controller, only SRAM upto 4Mb and Flash memory board (1QJ - between 16Mb and 32Mb) board.
1QJ stores AS and SV firmware and SRAM is for user/system data.
Without battery for years, usually lose user/system data.
With no user/system data, Controller should boot up to teach pendant screen, but you say only backlight.
If not been used for 2-3 years, can you guarantee all boards and harnesses are connected inside cabinet?
- Can you post image of inside controller.
- Can you post image of dipswitches on 1RA board
This are the pictures
Is there a way to update the firmware in this situation???
Where i can find AS and SV firmware files???
On 1RA board, set dipswitches:
1 and 8 to ON and the rest OFF and reboot Controller.
What does the teach pendant display?
Can you read the filesave on the PC - and attach here or attach the header of the filesave?
1 and 8 to ON and the rest OFF after reboot Controller it is the same situation. White screen on the teach pendant.
I can find only one file on card as Z2407.AS.
Not good......Looks like 1RA board is broken.
Can you connect RS232 lead to connection where PCMCIA is, and open KCWin32.
Set correct com port on PC for connection.
During bootup, is any information displayed?
trying do do something, but nothing happens. On the pic is the result after 3-4 reboots
You sure your PC Comms port is set to Com1?
Set dipswitches:
1,3,5,8 to ON, the rest off and reboot.
- What is displayed and also does front panel lights appear in different state.
yes check the Com port!
I set the dipsw 1,3,5,8 ON, but no difference
Haw can I check that the problem is in 1RA not in AVR??
I measured all TPs and all voltages are OK! Something else?
It sounds like CPU board is bad, maybe ROM Kernel not functioning correctly.
- Without ROM Kernel, no boot loading is capable.
- Very strange for ROM Kernel to fail (even with low/exhausted battery).
One final test:
- Disconnect all umbilical harness to robot arm.
- Disconnect all connections to 1KP board (X7 and X8) but leave X9 connected.
- Remove 1RA and set dipswitch SW1 to 2 and 3 ON, 1, 4 OFF.
- Install 1RA and set dipswitch SW2 to 1,5,6,7,8 to ON - 2,3,4 OFF.
- Connect RS232 crossover between CN8 on 1RA board and PC.
- Set Com port correct and adjust baudrate to 38400.
- Power on Controller - only RED ERROR LAMP should be on.
- KCWIN should display USR->
- If not, then CPU board damaged beyond repair I think...............
If this is the result, I can put some information together for ROM Kernel, but this would be last resort......but it looks like 1RA is damaged.
Thanks for the detailed explanations, but the situation is the same
It looks like 1RA is damaged.
I will replace 1RA and I will try again.
If is not a problem for you, please can you tall me more about for ROM Kernel, and firmware
If the lights on the Control Panel are not changing, and you cannot get any communication reply/messages from the RS232 serial ports, then as far as I know there is no chance of uploading/downloading any data (including ROM Kernel).
There is a procedure to flush and reformat the 1QJ board and may get the Controller up and running and is:
- Flush and Reformat
- Load in ROM Kernel
- Load in AS Firmware
- Load in SV Firmware
- Load in last file save
I will have to compile some info and tools for you in order to do it, so send me your email in PM (it may take me a couple of days).
However, from what you are writing, I suspect 1RA is non recoverable.
Hi,
I replace 1RA and now I have communication. I keep going ........
I take it the 'flushing and the ROM Kernel' did not work then......shame.....
So you have a replacement installed, then, how is progress?
- Have you managed to upload your backup and get it up and running?
The Robot Arm is not connected.
On the Pendant is only white screen.
When I try to do initialization whit SW2-8 ON and 999,1 there is check sum arm err
without SW2-8 ON there is err D2023 Fail to load arm data.
I don know is the pendant is Working? If the robot arm is not connected or pendant is broken?
where I can find data files for my robot?
