krc2 mig & plasma & inverter

    Hello.

    I have a mig-mag welder that accept analog 0-10V for config the voltage wire-feed-speed

    and 0-24V I/O signals for starting welding cycle / errors etc(does not have any fieldbus or serial interface is old machine).

    Also i have an HD plasma that accepts I/O signals and have on it's own torch height control (about 200mm linear axis with small dc moter) independent from robot.

    Last i have an inverter that accepts I/O 0-24V and 0-10V for rpm config of the motor.


    What I/O hardware options exists from robot ? devicenet - profibus coupler like those from wago or beckhoff ?

    What technology packages will need for these applications ?

    arctech analog or simple arctech ? usertech for plasma ? any other tech package ?

    For welding can be done from teach pendant or needs cam-cam for offline programing ?



    Thanks.

    Well, you need to tell us: what I/O options does your robot have installed?


    Since it's a KRC2, it has DeviceNet built in on the MFC card (X801 connector). So, since all your devices appear to only need 24V discrete signals and 0-10V analog signals, your options are wide open. There are plenty of DN I/O modules on the market that will support this. You could use "sliced" I/O like Beckhoff/Wago, just be aware that mixing analog and digital I/O can make the addressing slightly complex. Or Turck has lots of FDNL modules that could do the same thing, with separate modules.

    There is the build in devicenet port also i have pci profibus and pci fiber optic interbus cards for krc2.

    I can make a breakout board that gets discrete for example 8 24V signals and outputs 0-10V analog

    so i will have 256 discrete analog 0-10V values.

    Ok i will do that with sliced I/O beckhoff / wago devicenet-profibus .

    What i will need from kuka technology packages ?

    I have krc2 5.4.11 and krc2 5.6.10

    for DeviceNet you need nothing

    for ProfBus you need Siemens software to create LDB file (Step7 or at least NCM manager)

    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

    not sure, those are old,.. if i recall on such systems used options were ArcTechAnaloh, UserTech, TouchSense. i recall also Kuka.Plasma_Cu_HR.USA, but don't have any details on it.

    i cannot find Kuka.Plasma_Cu_HR.USA ..

    I have UserTech and TouchSense but not ArcTechAnalog only ArcTechDigital

    If i make a breakout board to convert analog values to digital will work with ArcTechDigital ?

    Also is there any tech package for waterjet ?
