Hello, what IP-Adress setting I have to change for connecting officelite with work visual. With my actual settings I can not connect the software. I can not find the controller on workvisual. Can anybody say me what IP-Setting I have to change? Thanks

do NOT touch that... that is the RTOS adapter.
When you go to network settings inside OL or OPS you will see two network interfaces.
You may add more if you like, but those two are the key.
Make sure to check properties of both (or use "Detailed view"). You should see something like this:
the green box shows the default two network interfaces.
but one of them is reserved for REAL TIME OS (RTOS) which is vxWorks. Stay away from this one...

Ok thanks for the information. Another question: I have copied the cell or controller from my actual hardware to my laptop on workvisual. Is it now possible to transfer this controller to my officelite? Because if I am right here on the picture it should be shown the virtual controller with the ip-adress, but there is no virtual controller.

so there are different ways to go about it. it really depends on what you need.
here is (one) example of what i may use.
in the host machine, run command ipconfig or ipconfig/all to see host adapters.
in this example i used WiFi interface... At this location and this time i got IP address 172.31.2.72.
Then wake up OL machine and go into settings:
And connected VM to my WiFi adapter:
Then inside OL run ipconfig again:
Notice that RTOS is untouched and the other network interface is now showing address that is in the same subnet as the WiFi on the host machine:
subnet mask on the host was 255.255.255.0 meaning that first three numbers are matched to the network, and last number is node.
Since OL is now also on the same network, first three numbers do match (192.168.2):
192.168.2.72 host WiFi
1792.16.2.26 OL
and the last number is unique.
So now that OL is on the network, we can do anything we like. For example download any handy tool directly from OL, or connect to OL using WorkVisual

you can take WoV project from a working robot and (within limits) have it loaded into OL.
Yes, there are limits....
1. some tech options are not compatible with OL. So read the menuals. for example you cannot use fieldbus so EthernetIP, ProfiNet, KEB need to be stripped out
2. your OL need to have same KSS and tech options as the real KRC. it is just as if you were to transfer project from one KRC to another... Normally this means integrating tech options into WoV
3. OL is not a real KRC with real robot so some thing will not work. that includes safety configuration, motor current, etc.
There are some freedoms too...
Since everything is virtual, you can change hardware configuration rather freely, add more external axes etc.

Ok, thanks. Now I think I have connected the officelite with WoV. I can transfer the actual program of officelite to WoV. But if I want to transfer the program, which I have on WoW (real setup), to officelite I can not select the virtual officelite controller. See picture, maybe I do something wrong here.
Officeliteversion: 8.6.2
Version of controller of real hardware setup: 8.6.5
-
as the message states, you need to use same version.
KSS8.6.2 is not the same as KSS8.6.5
they are same family (both are same major version KSS8.6) so there are two options:
1. in your WoV project change version from 8.6.5 to 8.6.2 and try to deploy again. Chances are this may work but some problems may persist.
2. upgrade your OL from 8.6.2 to 8.6.5. this is possible since both are same major version.
