Is there the possibility of creating network access to a server for the programs? In this case we are wanting to create a cnc robot. and it will make several different pieces, generating several programs and then I want to save them on a server as they will be huge programs generated by sprutcam. Is it possible to connect a krc2 ed-05 with kss 5.4.14 to a network server?

Connecting yes. This is standard windows. Running programs directly from there no. All programs need to be compiled and downloaded into the VxWorks ramdisk (file system of the actual real-time robot controller). Programs can only be executed from inside the robot operating system. The download is done when copying the files through the kuka hmi to the robot controller which is the folder displayed as r1 on the hmi. There are tools like the kuka directory loader that also support downloading programs.
Other option would be checkout kuka.cnc. This is a paid option and extends the robot controller with functions to directly run g code. This basically implements a second robot controller from Stuttgart based isg company next to the kuka one. This alternative controller is capable to directly run programs from harddisk and therefore probably also from a server.
