Dear forum members,
Is there a way to "hack" the KRC in order to allow switching between control modes without the teach pendant? Maybe using external PLC for that?
We have the KRC4 compact controller and for some reason after power fault (not related to the robot, power supply was cut due to some reason) the robot from time to time changed mode from EXT to T1. Since we do not work with the teach pendant and the access to the robot is limited, we wish to be able to switch back to EXT mode without reconnecting the teach pendant, which is later disconnected and robot needs to be restarted in order to work again without teach pendant.
There are 8 cables for the teach pendant - 2 for power, 2 apparently for the E-button ?(X40 on the board) and 4 for network connection (X42).
Is the signal for the manual key rotation sent as a network packet? is there a way to send it via the maintenance network connection instead of the teach pendant?
I sincerely appreciate any assistance.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Avi
