KRC 4-8.3.38
There is a problem with the 5th axle brakes. But due to the war, the service cannot come to me for repairs. How can I disable the test on only one axis?

The manual for your robot's specific version of Safe Operation should be located on the robot Hard Drive, under D:/KUKA_OPT. But that screen should allow you to specify which axes undergo the brake test, and which do not.
That said, you need to be aware of the potential safety hazards that could arise from disabling the test, and take steps to mitigate them.
unfortunately for my version I did not find an option to disable the brake test for 1 axis. only for everyone

Well, you could do that. But performing a safety risk assessment and taking proper mitigation steps would be required.
that granular configuration and brake test was introduced with KSS8.5.
before doing anything else i would check what is the safety margin (MaxSafetyFactor), on some older KSS (including some of 8.3) it was set to something as high as 1.2 so maybe reducing the value to 1.05 or even as low as 1.01.
with BitfieldAxesActivated one should be able to control which axes are to be used for brake test. default value is 4095 or all axes. look at the value in binary form, LSB is for A1.
to only test A1,A2 and A6, try changing that value to 35.
Thank you. Here are my details..
[BRAKE_TEST]
AxisVelA1=3
TravAngleA1=10
AxisVelA2=3
TravAngleA2=10
AxisVelA3=3
TravAngleA3=10
AxisVelA4=3
TravAngleA4=10
AxisVelA5=3
TravAngleA5=10
AxisVelA6=3
TravAngleA6=20
AxisVelE1=3
TravAngleE1=150
AxisVelE2=3
TravAngleE2=15
AxisVelE3=3
TravAngleE3=15
MaxSafetyFactor=1.01
BitfieldAxesActivated=511
that BitfieldAxesActivated still includes A5
if I understand you correctly, I need to set the value to 495. then in binary format it will be 0001 1110 1111 and this will disable the brake test for 5 axes but leave the others?
Correct, that value of 495 should make brake test for axis A5 and external axes E4, E5 and E6 inactive.
495 would test A1,A2,A3,A4,A6,E1,E1,E3
47 would test A1,A2,A3,A4,A6
thank you all. it works!
Please what is the PATH of this file?
That depends on the KSS version you have. Search for BrakeTestDrv.ini.
