Ok thanks, do I connect 17 and 18 together or do I connect 17 with 14 and 18 with 16 as the diagram?
Thanks

seriously?
connecting things at random is extremely unlikely to make things work. it is much more likely that incorrect circuits will destroy something. what do you think connection diagrams are for?
of course you need to connect 17 with 14 and 18 with 16 as shown in the diagram.
thank you,
I know that I don't get the connections wrong, I asked you that question because I had already tried to connect 17 with 14 and 18 with 16.
I also verified that all x6 cables arrive in the right connectors but I always have the problem of " external Emergency stop pressed".
Do you think there could be some software errors?
Sorry if I ask questions that may seem absurd to you but I just started using it.
Thanks
You have not only a problem with "Emercency stop".
You have a problem with the complete ESC-circuit.
Look here the "?" :
That's the reason why I asked for information about connectors X5, X4, S2.
Good morning,
I have done more tests and I have verified this, as you can see from the photo when I turn on the controller with the pendant connected gives me many errors and I cannot manually operate the axes. When I turn on the controller without the pendant connected it seems to be able to operate the axes.
I ask you some questions:
- Do you think the pendant is damaged?
- I saw that there is a mouse port and 2 USB ports, I tried to connect a mouse but it doesn't work, is there any setting to unlock?
Best regards
...hold on. That makes no sense. Was the pendant plugged in when the "without pendant" photo was taken?
The pendant has the T1/T2/AUT/EXT mode selection switch -- with the pendant disconnected, the "?" icon should replace the "T1". Your photos have it exactly backwards.
If you turn the mode-select switch on the KCP, does the "?" change to anything else? Try all 4 modes.
Does your KRC2 cabinet have a mode select switch on the front panel? If so, then your KCP and KRC do not match up. Different versions of the KRC/KPC for different customers had the mode-select key on the KCP, or on the KRC -- never both. If you have both, then the two different keys may be in conflict.
The "?" icon usually occurs either when the ESC board has no power, or the ESC board is not receiving a valid condition from the mode-select switch. Each position on the key switch closes two contacts, and opens all the others. If the ESC sees no contacts, only one, or more than two, the "?" will result.
the icons on the left are as expected... they are only enabled in certain conditions (when drives are enabled etc). this is a result of the actual problem, not the cause. image "without teach pendant" shows the normal
on KRC2 it is possible that operating mode is not shown (it is replaced by "-?-") when there is a certain problem with safety circuit ... and teach pendant is also part of the safety circuit.
when the "-?-" is shown, one should check parts of the safety circuit including fuses, power, X11 connections, swap defective parts... one may narrow it down when history of the system is known. simple thing to try is another teach pendant.
Hi Skyfire,
thanks for the reply, I confirm that the photos are correct, even I can not understand.
The KRC3 controller doesn't have switches on the cabinet, I have tried with any T1 / T2 / AUT / EXT mode but the icon is always "?".
In my opinion the pendant has a broken selector, do you think I can bypass the signal on the x12 connector?

Hi panic mode,
Thanks fo the reply.
I think the pendant is the problem.
How does the safety circuit work? Can I force the outputs of the pendant to X3?
Thank you
The master of the safety circuit is in the KCP.
That's the reason, why safety circuit works only with the pendant.
Which KSS version is installed ?
Have you done the installation by yourself ?
What's the history of this robot?
Can you post the files progress.ini and the hw_inf.ini files?

Hi sjx,
thanks, the KSS version is 4.1, I bought the robot second hand in May, I didn't install the software myself. This evening I will post the files.
Thanks

If you disconnect the KCP entirely from the KRC, and the "?" changes to "T1", the the problem is not in the KCP (or at least, not limited) to the KCP. You either have a cabinet mode selector switch conflicting with the KCP switch, or there's a wiring issue inside the KRC.
