    Setting up a robot- KR120 R3100-2 with KSS 8.6.5. Set up went well until I got to mastering- after jogging robot to premastering position and connecting EMD to X32, the pendant does not detect the EMD. I have checked the EMD with other robots- works well; the X32 connector on the robot looks clean.

    I suppose contacting KUKA is the next step, but maybe any of you ran into something like this before?

    EMD interface is a short cable from RDC to box. if someone was messing with the RDC box (adding external axis etc.) chances are they did not plug it in correctly or in correct place. it could also be that one of the contacts is not ok (bent, pushed out, etc.)

    1) read pinned topic: READ FIRST...

    2) if you have an issue with robot, post question in the correct forum section... do NOT contact me directly

    3) read 1 and 2

    The wires of contact to connect to the EMD were pulled in.

    Solved.

    Open the box with the X32 connection and see if maybe the wires are pulled in? Or did you do that already and it was ok?
