Welcome to the forum.............
With little to no experience, you are going to have a hard time trying to resolve this.
Interbus is a fieldbus network that will consist of at least 2 devices.
hello, im a student at vox. and this is my end term problem
End of term problem.........?
Is this something a tutor has caused as part of a troubleshooting exercise?
From experience, Interbus is very robust and somewhat bullet proof.
The error is relating to connection issues, no parameters in the Interbus card, loss of network as it cannot read associated nodes that sit in it's configuration, or possibly the settings in the Kawasaki have been changed.
Any failure, of cable disconnection, loss of parameters or node failure will kill the network.
If you have some spare parts then great, if you haven't then the only thing that can be done is:
- Check cables are securely connected.
- So disconnect them and reconnect them, don't just assume by wiggling them, they are connected.
- You can attempt the master card to re-read the network and self configure itself.
Be worth posting some pictures of the controller inside of the Interbus board and letting us know just what nodes exist on the network (topology) and whether they are displaying faults too.
Also describe what it was doing prior to the fault:
- Did it fail during use.
- Did it fail after any maintenance on the line.
- Did it fail after someone has been playing around with settings on the Kawasaki.
- Did it fail after troubleshooting other problems.
- Did it fail after a power off period.
Lack of details means it could take a long time, especially if your not conversant with fieldbus networks and specifically Interbus parameters and settings and no spare parts available.

hello
its not something the tutor has caused. the school bought one that was already broken from a company.
it indeed has something to do with parameters, and maybe the settings bhut i'm not sure about that.
i didn't check the cables like that but i will when i'm at school. if i try to let the arm resolve the error itself it says the error is gone, bhut when i restart the robot it comes back.
Did it fail during use.
- Did it fail after any maintenance on the line.
- Did it fail after someone has been playing around with settings on the Kawasaki.
- Did it fail after troubleshooting other problems.
- Did it fail after a power off period.
about these i don't really have a answer yet. the school just bought it and i had to repair it. somweone else had this as his end term too. bhut he didn't really get somewhere becaus of corona. i don't know if he has done something with the settings.
i don't have spare parts.
this is all i have tomorrow i will try to get answer to the questions that i couldn't respond to.
thankyou for helping

From an initial look at some of your images, it looks like an ex jag system (Interbus was their standard with those controllers and spot welding guns).
Pictures of the left side of the controller will prove this.
OK, so some additional things for you to provide some further information on:
- Try and identify where the 3 cables going from the Interbus board are connected to.
- It is likely one of them is going to a green device and the others are going to a weld timer.
-
OK, so if you learn how to make a file save and to load a file from a laptop using either KRTerm, KCWin32 or KCWinTcp using the link here to download them, some guides included for connection details:
When you have successfully done that, you will need to post a full file save or you can send it me via email if you like and then I'll prepare a file, send it back to you to upload.
This will resolve your interbus error and allow you error free operations.

Hello
with the help of Kwakisaki i got rid of the -1215 interbus error
the only problem is now that i have a error with turning on the motor power
it could be either : data corruption or software corruption on the cpu board
so on the cpu board i found a battery that puts out 4.5 instead of 5.5V so im getting that replaced
other than that i also noticed that this board of relais dusnt light up when im turning on the machine not a single light turns on. i dont know what to do with this every cable is connected. i cant screw of the back and get a measure of there being connection on or not from the front i cant get there to measure correctly.
in attechtments i put two pictures of the relais

Not necessarily.
If you are referring to the battery pack located next to the card rack file (left side), then this contains 2x 3.6v lithium batteries (type Maxell ER17/50) and provide 2x 3.6v supplies to the CPU board via the backplane connection.
- If this battery becomes low, you will receive a warning on the MFP.
- If this battery is completely exhausted, then the controller is unlikely to boot up.You're referring to not being able to get motor power on, here are some checks:
1. Are both emergency stop buttons (operation panel and MFP released.
2. What happens when you press and hold the motor power button in.
- Does it flash at all.
- Does it do nothing at all.
3. Are the correct connections made on TB2 (long grey terminal strip).
- Please provide a picture of this.
4. Can you provide a picture of the MFP status screen.
5. Are there any active errors that are being reported.I don't necessarily recommend to dive into the 1HY as being a problem before the above can be looked into first.

hello
thx for the quick response
1. yes they both are released and measured
2. it dus not do anything at all i measured the light and it should be good to go
3. in attechmens
4. in attechments
5. no only in the beginning or when i try to do somthing where i need motor power to use it. also a picture in attechments

this is how i get the error in the beginning
-
this is the TB2 cable
-
and this is the mfp screen

The controller has not booted up completely so you cannot use the robot, motor power will not be available to come on.
Your CPU board (1HA) appears to have dipswitches 1 and 8 turned on (Hardware initialization).
1. Why are you attempting to carry out a hardware initialization?
- If you proceed with a hardware initialization, you will need to load in a previous backup.
- If you do not have a previous backup, then this will render the controller inoperable.2. Power off the controller then.
- On the CPU board (1HA) turn off dipswitch 8 and leave 1 on.
- Power on the controller.
- Does the controller bootup.
- Provide an image of the MFP screen.
