KUKA VKRC1 - it´s MFC card ?

    Hello,


    I have KUKA robot VW VKRC1 from Volkswagen automotive.

    Year 2000.


    In controller is MFC card, but she have different connector.

    Right is standard connector X2: Sub-D, 26-contact.

    But left is not standard MFC 5 pin connector. Here is Sub-D 9 pin.


    I can´t nowhere find any documentation whether this is a normal MFC card and how to connect it to certain pins on the left connector.


    Does anyone have experience with this?


    Thank you,

    Hello this card version MFC 1.06 for KRC1


    MFC 1.08 and upwards using Phoenix contact Combicon 5 Pole connector and it is for devicenet communication.

    MFC 1.06 using DB9 connector and without power supply pins for devicenet.


    Pins:


    2. CAN-

    3. Drain

    7. CAN+



    Do not connect termination resistor externally on 1.06 MFC because already equipped in the board.

    Thank you very much for your help.


    My robot controller is standard VW and he haven´t battery inside for normal program ending and shutdown.

    The controller shuts down hard and is cold start every time it is turned on.


    Can I connect the batteries to this VW controller as is the standard controller ?

    They are connected to the two lower pins of the X202 connector inside.

    Or can something be destroyed and the controller is not adapted to it ?


    Thank you.


    As far as I can recall, the VKRC1 used exactly the same batteries as the KRC1, wired in identical fashion. You should simply be able to buy a new set of replacement batteries and install them properly. Messing with the internal connections is not advisable.
