I have been experiencing issues while trying to set up UltraVNC to remotely control my KUKA krc4 with my PC and share files. I have checked all the information in this forum, but it still did not work.
I would like to simplify the process into the minimum number of steps to help others experiencing the same problem.
Here are the steps I followed:
- Follow Rebots tutorial, Rebots tutorial CycleNorts doc
KUKA KRC4 remote desktop UltraVNC and Sharing files on network locations

- Set network connection in KRC4:
- Fixed IP 192.168.
- DNS 255.255.0.0
- Open a 5900 port tcp/udp
- Cold start
- Wire between KUKA controller and PC:
- Connect the Network cable to the port on the door of the Controller.
- Check if the cable works.
- Ethernet cable between PC and KUKA controller, or through a LAN network.
- Install UltraVNC x86 (same version as PC) on KUKA:
- RDPmode
- Set password
- Install UltraVNC viewer x64 (same version as KUKA) on PC:
- Set KUKA IP in network configuration
Alternatively, I also tried to access shared folders. Here are the steps I followed based on Samad35 user:
- Minimize the Pendant.
- Go to File Explorer.
- Right-click on the drive you want and go to properties.
- In properties, set the driver for sharing.
- Go to your computer (on the same network) and open file explorer.
- Right-click on a blank part of the file explorer and click add a network location.
- When you go through the process, there will be a point where it will ask for an "Internet or network address." You would set it up like: "\192.168.#.#(c or d).
- The computer should find it and then it will ask for a username and password.
- Username: KukaUser, Password: 68kuka1secpw59. (I use KRC4, 8.3.34). If this is not correct, just Google it. It worked for me to find out the password. The username is what the user is on the computer when you minimize the pendant and look at user accounts.
If anyone could help me identify what I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.
I hope this summary helps others facing similar issues.
At the end, I will develop a document to future users.
Thanks in advance,
