KOP creation

I'm actually looking for the same thing myself...

Last I'd heard, only KUKA could create KOP files, but that was a few years ago.

OTOH, while I haven't used it, there are options in WorkVisual for exporting partial projects. There might be a way to create something that way that works like a crude substitute for a KOP. Or maybe the "project compare/merge" function in WV.

well, have not tried to make one by hand from scratch though it does not seem to be complicated.

also there is an option called KOP Editor that should make this much simpler...

I think current version is 1.3 or so. manual is available on Xpert.

"standardize the logic for the PLC comms"

i fail to see why standardizing some KRL code on couple of robots should need KOP. all needed to communicate with PLC etc can be canned into a program module, like MsgLib.

or am i missing something... ?

Writing code means creating SRC and DAT file and for that text editor is sufficient.

Btw. creating menu entries also requires only a text editor. details are in UserTech manual.

UserTech is an option that allows creation of own in-line form instructions, status key bars and menus.

Creating own HMI PLUGIN that is called from menu entry is another story.

short of that, i would say EasyHMI is probably the simplest workaround option.

If you want a standard project, perhaps you can make a master image where you can have same version KSS/Option package/same program ..

As far as i knew, each automative manufacturor has their own standard and master image.

I believe you will have to purchase KUKA Option Package Editor.
There you can create your own KOP-files.
