Profinet IO driver unistalled

Hi to all,

I have a problem with my KR16 KRC4 kuka robot. Yesterday there were many power surges from the control plant and the controller went through rapid on offs at least 4 times before I was able to shut it down for good. Upon restarting, the smart pad signals me a red bar with "emergency stop local" and among the messages I have a warning of the type KSS00076 I / O driver 'PNIODriver' uninstalled. From the Plc i can't see the robot in profinet and i think there is some profisafe signals in profinet so if the profinet of the robot not work is a problem.

Trying from the menu in the smart pad to go to configuration-> input / output-> I / O driver I see in the table the PNIODriver with the gray dot beside it instead of green (as on another twin robot). What can I do ?

Very thanks.

If the ProfiNet was really uninstalled, You need to install it. Depending on Your KSS version (You didn't mentioned it), You can do it from Smartpad, or from WorkVisual.

But after going this way, I would recommend try to restore an good and reliable normal robot archive (backup).

Thanks for the answer. The kss version is 8.3. The PNIO module was installed at the beginning and the machine worked for many years. But now if I go to configuration-> input / output-> I / O driver and I press the tab configuration the smart pad show me the PNIO module is installed ad if I click on it the system tells me that is impossibile to unistall it (show a lock on the name of that driver)

So how to reinstall it?

Did You tried to restore a good backup before reinstall ProfiNet?

To me, this looks more a corrupted configuration file than the driver itself.

Ok. But restore from a good backup you mean to do a deploy from WorkVisual (after i open the backup project obviously) ?

Anyway, to uninstall it, You must in Expert mode, go MENU > Start-up > Install Additional Software and press Uninstall button. You must reboot the controller.

This must be done by smart pad ?

Thanks a lot.

Depends on how you created the backup.

If you saved a project with wov, restore it with wov.

Thanks for your answer.

I have the old wov project so I can deploy that project to robot controller and see what happens ? And in order to do that I think that in my wov 5 i've need to have all the packets(like profinet) that are installed an used in the robot controller.

ok i will try.

Hi,

today i installed all the kop files in my wov 5 but and deployed the project in the controller but the error remained. Any other suggestions?

In any case I cannot understand if the IO driver error is related to the profinet package that has become corrupted or to a hardware card.

Thank you very much.

I want to share my solution to fix the error :

1) Install all the necessary packet on my wov 5

2) Send the backup project to the robot from wov > restart

3)Uninstall profinet packet from the controller by the smart pad -> restart

4)Install profinet kop file with a usb drive into smart pad (same version that it's already installed) -> restart

5)Deploy the project again from the wov environment -> restart

At this point the robot works.

I think that the problem is some corrupted file, and not the hw .

Thanks a lot for all your support

in KRC4 there is no ProfiNet specific hardware. ProfiNet is done entirely in software.

now that you have the system running, it would be a good idea to create backup and make sure that batteries are in working order.

Thanks a lot panic mode.
