    Hello everyone I am using kuka krc2 controller, when I start robot at t1 mode I can start and move it. But when I change it to the auto mode I press the I button(Img 1 Red Circle) and it doesnt turn green on the screen and gives me drives contactor off, intermediate circuit loaded error(Img 2). If you have suggestions I would be glad to hear about it.

    as i recall, that message is always shown when drives are not on.

    so you may want to check if the KCP is ok (busted button?)

    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

    Actually yes thank you for the response I have changed the KCP and it worked well. I had been trying all the possibilities and changing the KCP never came to my mind again thank you.

    I have a exactly same problem, but now I can’t validate the button “ I ”

    Could I do something to isolate that the problem is really the button?

    Hi

    On kcp you got more than one deadman switch or try with a different kcp if you have one.

    Thanks for replying


    The deadman switch is doing well, I can move manual mode with no problem

    Don’t work only in AUTO mode, and shows no error messages

    Any warning messages?

    For me it looks like safety connection issue. There is lack of signal required to turn servo on in AUTO mode (like closed robot cell) and its not required in MANUAL.

    what is the exact type of safety interface and how is it wired? if robot works in T1 mode but not in AUT or EXT modes the most obvious thing to check is operator safety circuit.

    no warning messages,
    the robot was purchased by FORD and restaured by KUKA, so it come to us with safety using the A14 board, but none drive is declared in IOSYS, so basicaly a just put the X11 standart

    have not worked with KUKA that was customized for Ford but still, you need to check the documentation for your robot and see how to wire your portion of the safety circuit to whatever connectors Ford interface exposes.

    can you show view of the actual interface? both inside and outside cabinet and circuit of your connections to it?

    the last image is too blurry to decipher connections. looks like X11 jumper plug. such plugs normally do not have user safety wired in or in case they do, they are wired through button.
