KR C4 SmartPad missing jog speed icon in right bar

    Hi everybody.

    I recently powered up a refurbished KUKA KR 500 R2825 KR C4 robot, and noticed a missing icon in the right sidebar.

    The manual jogging speed icon is not displayed on the screen, and when pressing the physical "+" and "-" buttons related to the manual jog speed, it actualy changes the program override speed. Pressing the program override physical buttons has no effect what so ever on the system.

    Am I missing something? Is there a SmartHMI configuration file to be edited in order to restore the standard display? Or do I have to go through a system restore and hope for the best?

    Thanks for your help.

    this is in one of XML config files for the HMI. should be able to just replace it and reboot. KUKA has application note on customizing this to show E1 or whatever.

    Thanks panic mode,

    I'm currently looking for such XML files, but I cant find the appropriate one. Looking in C/KRC/USER/SmartHMI.

    Is there some other directories ? Can I find such default files from the install backup from D: ?

    Trying your solution before a full restore...

    EDIT : got it sorted out !

    For everyone's knowledge, I did the following :

    1. Minimize HMI
    2. Navigate to D:KRC_Release
    3. Select and copy all files in USER directory
    4. Copy to C/KRC/USER
    5. Cold restart

    Icon and buttons all normal now !

    Thanks panic mode

    Just as a note for future use: you could probably use a file-compare program like WinDiff or KDiff3 to compare the files on the C: drive against the "master" files on the D: drive. That would help you zero in on which files were different, and how they're different.
