Software: KRC V8.3.33
Controller: KRC4 NA UL
Robot: KR22 R1610
Option Packages: Profinet ProfiSafe V3.2.2, SafeOperation V3.2.3, HMI Easy V?
Note: The HMI Easy option is pending purchase/licensing but irrelevant to this topic
I am recommissioning an old robot for integration with an injection molding machine (IMM).
I am using SafeOp to assign a protected workspace via light curtain input for operator insert loading onto a nesting plate.
I will be running the system in AUT mode using HMI easy for user control
A Siemens S1200 PLC is used as Profinet master to establish coms for control of a Turck TBEN IO block and SMC EX260 SPN3 Valve bank. (end of arm tooling function)
Question:
I cannot access the menu to configure multiple SPS programs using the teach pendant. Is this a limitation of the software version since I am recommissioning and older KRC?
I have created more .sub programs using WOV however I assume the only .sub running is SPS.sub since it is the default routine and I cannot configure the new ones to run?
When I press the submit interpreter softkey (green 'S' top center of KTP) I only get the options to Select/Start,Stop and Deselect the Sub routine. On newer models this softkey opens a configuration window allowing the user to assign up to 8 .sub routines which run parallel to the robot interpreter. I tried navigating the KTP to Configuration/ SUBMIT Interpreter and still only get the options to Select/Start, Stop and Deselect the Sub routine.
I have tried this on both Expert and Administrator user groups
I will need multiple SPS programs for IO control via HMI easy/program selection/etc. so that I do not bog down the SPS.sub program.
Let me know if any additional information is required.
Thanks in advance.
