Good evening all,
Could some please help me understand kuka programming language:
Like start/end point of a weld but really as much as possible would be perfect.
Thanks

Normally you to attend a basic and advanced training course in order to understand KRL.
=> suggestion: get these courses
As a start you could got thru the manual section in the kuka forum to find more information about programming.
-
Manuals, Software and Tools for KUKA Robots
That's the first place to start.

Then lookup bas.src. Bas.src takes the data from your screenshot and uses it in raw krl calls. The content of the dat files is only the data (positions, blending on/off, programmed velocity, ...) stored by a inline form and is not the krl language. The programm structure using this data is part of the src files. In simple user mode also called inline forms it's only a list of user interface created commands generated by interacting with the kuka smart hmi menues.
In more complex expert mode you can also write raw krl programs that allow usage of standard programming language commands like if/else for loops , .... A expert code example is the before mentioned bas.src KUKA uses to parse its inline form data. If you expand the fold of a inline form in your src program you can see the bas call.
Also keep in mind that technology packages often bring their own inline forms and parsing functions next to the standard set in bas.src.

Good Morning,
I don't quite understand what you mean
Bas.src is a software I download and just upload the KRL program and it will put the program in my simple context? or this is software is actually on the teach panel?I can find anything to download on the internet BAS.SRC wise!
Does anyone have a example of how it coverts the programming text? Before and after?
Thanks in advance

Bas.src is a preinstalled krl program on every controller. Just look it up. Should be in the system folder you see on the teach panel.

Thanks again I will look it up in a few moments on the line
Also I have one other noob question how do you use jog mode dry running your current program?
-
jogging means manually moving robot.
using program means program moves robot axes.
one can run part of the program, pause, then jog. this will move robot off the programmed path. next time you press start, robot will perform BCO by returning to point where it left the path, then it can continue running program...
-
Switch to test mode t1, select desired program and run it by pressing dead man switch and start button. Stop wherever you want to change something, jog to the new desired position, open inline form and press "touch up". Beware correct tool and base are set when you press touch up.

you may want to also do a backup (archive for example) before making changes.
also archive is a good place to examine while learning or troubleshooting...
-
Thanks a lot guys, I read the programming manual you all recommend and it was very helpful
I will also try teach/Jog mode tomorrow
I will keep you updated with my success or failure

Good afternoon,
So it was a success in regards to dry running the program and using the 6D mouse, I have had two problems tho, I almost got blinded with with welding arc haha how do i dry run the program deactivating the welding? And my second issue is I can see the coordinates of what I want to touch up?
Is there a way you can teach in a more detailed program lines?
Lots of ways to make a "dry run". You could create a BOOL variable DryRun, and at every line where your program is going to turn the torch on, do something like:
TorchOnOutput = TorchCommand AND NOT DryRun
If DryRun is True, then it'll block TorchCommand from getting to the output.
The coordinates are visible in the .DAT file where the point is recorded. Can also be accessed via the VarCor (Display->Variable->Single, but you have to type out the whole name of the point). If the robot is physically at the point, you can see the coordinates by Display->Position.
Define "more detailed program lines."
-
I got around it by turning off the welder
Then your welding program isn't very good, if I'm being honest. It should detect if the welder is running.
VarCor also what is this?
As I already wrote, Display->Variable->Single.
-
Can we use RoboDK for example and learn by the generated programs?
-
I would do a three step learning:
Step 1:
Try to do it yourself
(sketches are very useful)
Step 2:
let for example roboDK do the programming
Step 3:
compare your result with the generated result
(and ask if there are any questions)
