Kss 8.2.20

    I was just recently out to help an older Kuka.

    Specifically it was a KR120r3200 /KRC4 running kss 8.2.20

    None of the versions of work visual i could get my fingers on, was able to open the project.

    I tried with 4.** , told me it was too new, and that it didnt want to speak to such an old robot

    Then i tried with WorkVisual_V2.4.5_Build0091 and WorkVisual_V2.4.6_Build0098

    These would open the project, but

    Neither the project on the robot, nor the ones we had in our backup archive.

    They all kept complaining about a dtm error.

    I think i tracked it to the KUKA-DEV io item

    I then, in desperation tried to recreate the project from scratch, only to find that

    None of these old versions supported the KR120/R3200 Robot.

    They would support other KR120's but the R3200 wasn't there yet.

    Does anyone have any experience regarding what version of Workvisual would support 8.2.20 ?

    Approved the thread.

    If i recall, WorkVisual_V2.4.6_Build0098 should be good. But you do need to configure it correctly. There are two things to take care of:

    Integrate KOPs

    Populate DTM catalog

    After this DTM catalog beed to be added to project (menu File/catalog handling)


    DTM catalog is an AFC file containing all custom (non- KUKA) device description files that project uses. Basically it is collection of 3rd party EDS, ESI, GSD etc

    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
