Hello All,
we are working on a KRC2ed05 KR16L6 system. It is used for welding with Fronius TransPuls, classic MIG power source.
We have an issue with Windows. They get frozen, Fronius does not understand that, the robot stops moving, but the welding keeps on going until there is a pool of lava on the floor! The Devicenet communication doesn't seem to get affected by that.
Another case is that the KSS fails, with the typical Windows message "KUKA HMI encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. Send Error Report to Microsoft". Again, the Devicenet is not aware of the problem, the robot stops moving, but the Fronius keeps welding!
Now the question is, is there a Heartbeat or some reliable signal that we can use to stop the peripherals? Reliably....
Thank you for your time
