Make backup before doing ANYTHING. make every backup you can think of (normally three levels of backup are: HDD image, Archive, WoV project)
Make sure your WoV is installed and configured correctly. By configured i mean:
1. Integrate KOP files from YOUR controller
2. integrate any Device Description files your project uses (I/O or whatever)
Next make sure you are able to connect either via KLI or KSI and get working project from the robot. Save it on your computer.
Then save it again using another file name (so when we deploy it later on, we do not overwrite current working project).
If you have not done this before, it is a good idea to do one or two practice runs - deploy this project with new name and activate it on controller. See if everything is normal.
If that works without issue, it is time to modify project:
In VoW project click on robot controller under Hardware in Project Structure and check properties. Key to watch for is Supply Voltage. This is important because new robot will need to be from catalog with THAT supply voltage.
Make sure that catalog with THAT voltage is associated with your project (File>Catloghandling...)
Delete old robot from project, using Hardware tab of the project structure. Robot icon is just above Bus structure.
Then add robot you plan on using from catalog with correct supply voltage.
Power down - make sure to login as Expert or higher, use clod start
Disconnect robot1,
Connect robot2,
Power up...
You will get tons of messages including that hat's ok, don't panic...
Login as Safety Maintenance and deploy prepared project and activate it...
There will likely be prompt asking what changed, say that robot was changed (so network and safety config from HDD will be transferred to robots RDC).
The only thing you can do is login as Expert and use Start-Up mode. This means T1 only....
Otherwise you would need to get safety PLC or modify robot controller (add SION-SIB and change safety interface to parallel).
Safety PLCs don't cost an arm and leg any more.... At least some of them.
What safety interface you have there? FSoE, ProfiSafe or CIP Safety?
check forum, this was discussed already
you might need this too , you can download this from the kuka website
