kss 5.6.x - krc2.bin

  • Hello.

    krc2 has MFC2 ISA card and for MFC2 there are 2 versions of DSE-IBS cards DSE IBS 3.02(older) & DSE IBS C33(newer)

    I have a robot with mfc2 & dse-ibs 3.02 and an other robot with mfc2 & dse-ibs c33

    DSE IBS 3.02 uses file INTERNAT\KRCSETUP\KRC\ROBOTER\DSE\KRC2.bin installation file

    and DSE IBS C33 INTERNAT\KRCSETUP\KRC\ROBOTER\DSE\KRC2_C33.bin installation file


    I have kss 5.4.10 and kss 5.6.10 and in both kss versions installation file INTERNAT\KRCSETUP\KRC\ROBOTER\DSE\KRC2.bin is missing but exists KRC2_C33.bin so these kss versions work only with DSE-IBS C33 not with DSE-ISB 3.02 .

    I found KRC2.bin from a other vss 5.4.10 installation files and copied to kss 5.4.10 files so now kss 5.4.10 installation works with DSE-IBS 3.02.

    I have tried KRC2.bin file from vss 5.4.10 to kss 5.6.10 but does not work.. work only with kss 5.4.10.


    So my question is has anyone kss/vss 5.6.x installation that has KRC2.bin file that works with DSE-IBS 3.02 or does not exist at all KRC2.bin file for

    kss/vss 5.6.x ?

  • Ok

    but kss v5.4.10 installation i had does not included KRC2.bin originally so not worked with DSE IBS 3.02

    only with DSE IBS C33 but after copied (a weird hack) KRC2.bin file from VSS 5.4.10 installation

    to KSS 5.4.10 installation now KSS works with DSE IBS 3.02.


    VSS 5.4.10 installation included KRC2.bin but no KSS 5.4.10


    Also i had other VSS < 5.4 installations that not included KRC2.bin ..

  • For both..

    KRC2.bin file from vss work to the same version kss

    vss has KRC2.bin file but KSS not.

    So if you copy KRC2.bin from VSS to KSS installation

    you can have KSS with DSE IBS 3.02 working.


    I have done that for 5.4.X versions

  • Hello Javaman,


    I have same problem.

    I tried it as you described it, but it doesn't work for me.

    I used krc2.bin from VSS 5.4.7 to KSS5.4.7 and doesn't work it.

    I have stil error "software version of dse1 does not fit to kernel system"

  • M.Ozkan

    here we are talking about V5.4.7 and V5.4.10!

    When 3rd number is changing than there was some bug fixing. V5.6 is something complete different.


    I do completely agree with you concerning difference between KSS and VSS. The use of those things may work or not (most of the time not working)

  • Have you read my post (#9)? possible not

    5.4 is different from 5.6 (second number changed).


    Then you should make a list:

    which vss 5.4.7 works with with kss 5.4.x. As mentioned before: it is not working with kss 5.4.7!


    I believe that kss 5.4.7 is checking the version number of dse driver and rejects to work. Maybe this check has changed starting with kss 5.4.8 (maybe kss 5.4.9)

  • running kss V5.5 and V5.6 with kr c2 DSE IBS 33 is required, therefore there is no KRC2.BIN.

    Would you like to assist us, please. Knowing that the following cards are present:


    1. Profibus card

    2. MFC3 card with DSE IBS 33


    Which options have to be selected/installed during Kss 5.6.12 reinstallation, only?


    The options also needed for overall system comunications between Krc2 components have to be taken into consideration.


    Thanks in advance.

  • if you have a profibus card then Profibus Master/slave should be installed (If you are not using the MFC I/O) then MFC can be delesected


    What this screen does:

    changing the iosys.ini,

    copy drivers to the directory

    copy also the needed basic configuration files

    install dummy driver for Proficard driver


    Using profbus you should ask the siemens specialist in this forum

  • Actually, the MFC3 Devicenet will be used as well as DSE will be used for comunication between some of the components.


    In this case, does the "DeviceNet" and "DSE IO" options have to be selected for installation or "MFC/IOModul" option, only ?
