Hi all!
Can I switch robot from T1 to EXT or EXT - T1 remotely without teach pendant? For example by PLC. I use RDP connection to robot and virtual teach pendant but I can't switch modes from it. I understand that it isn't safe.
And also can I reboot KR C4 remotely using PLC. Or may be by setting FLAG or DO from robot?

If you start with EXT mode when connecting VRP, you can change mode using VRP.

If you have SafeOperation, there is a signal called System Powerdown which will shut the controller off, but it doesn't do reboots -- IIRC, you have to manually cycle power to get the robot to restart. We used it in the past on some robots that were mounted on autonomous mobile platforms that had to move between different power drops -- the PLC would issue the SP signal, wait for the robot to shut off, then undock the platform from the mains power. Re-docking to mains power at the next station "woke up" the robot again.
