    Hello , I'm currently working on a KUKA KR30 2100 and CR4 controller , and I'm having some problems. I created a program with WorkVisual and sent it to the controller , but then the controller restarted, and since then, I can't connect to the robot. The smart pad shows a "Waiting for cyclic connection" error and "Emergency stop inoperative," and I can't do anything .

    The RDP setting doesn't show anything. When I try to send another program, it shows an error because I have to be in expert mode, but I can't access that since I can't do anything on the smart pad.

    Get a monitor connect it directly to the control pc vga inside the krc4 cabinet to see if KSS starts at all. If so reactivate your last running WorkVisual project and do a complete cold start. If it is running you can activate expert mode. If this does not help restore the last valid image you took before this happened. Take a new image before doing this steps.

    How exactly did you get to the not working WorkVisual project? From scratch? By uploading a working project and modifying it and download?

    And thats what you never should do. You would have to configure a lot more. Always take the project on the controller and add needed stuff. But at least your previous project then should still be on the controller any you can reactivate it hopefully.

    And as soon as it runs again take a recovery image with the kuka usb stick and store it safely away. Also take one before starting to modify anything. It will always be the fallback to go back to if anything goes wrong again.

    Get the kuka recovery stick. Comes with a manual. Just need to boot from it and follow instructions on the screen. So basically the same way as any other imaging software but done with kuka usb stick and kuka recovery option bootimage installed on it. Needs to be purchased from Kuka if you do not have it already. Its highly recommended. If you do not yet have it buy it. Just to be safe in the meantime take a full archive and store your running WorkVisual project safely. These help restoring as well with expert knowledge but easiest way for beginners and fastest for beginners and experts is the kuka recovery with kuka usb option.
