KRC2 drives contactor status signal/output

    Hello everyone,

    I'm looking for an output signal (or better a system variable) that can be read

    to obtain the "drives status" or the drives contactor on/off signal,

    equivalent to the green "I" on the pendant that stands for "Drives ready";

    $DRIVES_ON tricked me to think to read it, but it is obviously only an input used in Automatic External mode.

    (I'm using the robot in T1, T2 or AUTO)

    I need to use it to drive an external device, so I'm thinking of routing it to an output in SPS.SUB

    Anyone knows something about that?

    Thank you

    I remember a few threads discussing "simuate EXT (kind of)" without a plc using inputs (buttons) and outputs (even with examples).


    Check your I/O configuration for $IN[1025] for true and $IN[1026] for false (these numbers needs to be replaced by real input numbers).

    Also check the documentation for EXT


    Search yourself while I will search my docs to find the link (this forum - mybe EN or DE)

    well... if that works for you...

    but that alone does not match exactly drives icon on smartPad in all modes

    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
