How can I run a program from a USB stick or some other way on a KUKA KRC2 controller (Edition 5, Windows XP, 60 GB HDD, 1 GB RAM)? My programs are very large and cannot be saved or run directly from C:\KRC\R1\Program. Has anyone tried alternative methods for running programs on the KUKA KRC2 KR 210 robot?
low memory on the KUKA KRC 2

You can not. VxWorks is hosted on a ramdisk. Has been discussed a lot here. Just use forum search. Directory Loader might be a feasable solution.

KRC 4 can run programs from the stick
Really. Do you know how KRC4 is capable of doing this (apart von KRC4 being a controller hardware and no software)? Would be completely suprising to me. What KSS?
I am asking for a friend who has been a long term developer for the real-time system within KUKA R&D and does not know this is possible

Newer controllers have more resources but they all still have limits. i've heard someone before speculations that some future KSS versions (possibly 8.6/8.7) may be able to run files fo the disc rather than loading it first into RAM drive but have not seen anyone bringing this up since then.
when programs are large one can use DirectoryLoader. This has own set of challenges.
Another option is CamRob. This option basically streams program to KRC so there is no size limit.

.. KRC 4 can run programs from the stick
Even if that where possible, it won't help you. You have a KRC2.

I have to buy the program DirectoryLoader ?

Yes. Or CamRob. See above.
