Yes, i think that the problem may be KCP or KVGA.
If you get the same problem with the new KVGA together with KPC or with Monitor (sm.com into autoexec.bat) other option is to mount the KVGA in other slot PCI on mainboard.

Pm600 can not give 27V to recharge batteries, but that problem is only (from my experience) for backup justage info. isn't it ?
With Your main problem ? I think that are capacitores. Blown.

Hi,
I have swapped my KVGA card but the result is already the same : KCP stay black.
I have disconnect the PC of the bay and i have power it by external 24Vdc and i have connected a keyboard and an external screen (with sm.com file in autoexec.bat) When i put 24Vdc on the motherboard, only the LED in the MFC become green ; no noise and no vibrations on Hard drive. If I disconnect the IDE connector of the HD on the motherboard then the HD make noise.
So, now i'm sure that the problem is the motherboard.
Therefore the capacitors seems goods (no swollen). I have ordered a new motherboard (not exactly the same but one with the same specifcations)
I hope that this time i have find the problem...

This is why my standard advice to customers buying robots (any brand, not just KUKA) is to buy at least one extra robot, for spare parts and for testing suspect parts.
Unfortunately, this does present $$$ issues for many smaller customers.
Hi,
Good news for my old robot KUKA VKR150 VKRC1, I have swapped motherboard and finally the PC had started !
The PC is out of the cabinet (I power it with external 24Vdc), I testing the PC with and external screen with a standard VGA card because when I put the KVGA card (with sm.com in autoexec.bat) i haven't any signal on the screen. Now I have to reinstall the PC in the cabinet to test with KCP...I hope...
(I have swapped the original motherboard SOYO SY-7IZB+ with pentium processor by a SOYO SY-5EH5 v1.2 with K6-2 350 processor)

Very good news for my old robot Kuka : the teach and the PC works good !
It was the Motherboard.
Tanks skyfire, markopo, josemi, topodoco, ger9man, Daniel for your help.

Hello Kukart. Have you been working properly with your new motherboard? have you have any problem to work with that new BIOS?
I have the same problem and I would like to know how has your robot worked since you replaced the motherboard for a similar one.
Thanks beforehand.
Hello trunkcnc,
No problem with this new mothercard.

I thought from what I have been told that the KUKA KRC1 motherboards, the Soyo SY-71ZB+N, or the Super Micro 370SBA (which I have and is not working) had to have "KUKA" BIOSes to operate.
From what you have said here, you apparently have found this not to be true by having a generic ISA motherboard working fully in your KRC1, right?
Have there been any problems, is there anything I should consider in replacing my motherboard with a generic ISA board?
Thanks.
From kukart's experience of using a non-KUKA BIOSed motherboard successfully,
I wonder if there would be a problem, and benefit, to using a much faster CPU'd motherboard.
I have an old motherboard with an ISA slot that has an 1800MHz Athlon in it, I used it with my first CNC machine, a Galil controlled plasma table I built in the late '90's.
Is it likely to work with a KRC1, Win95, etc.?
Thanks.
It's a crapshoot. One reason the KUKA spare parts cost as much as they do, even though technically they're "just" off-the-shelf motherboards/RAM/CPUs/etc, is that they're built and certified to much tighter tolerances than the usual consumer-grade parts. They've also been tested with the KUKA-specific mix of Windows and KSS to a very great degree. A random consumer-grade mobo might work, or might fail, or might work 90% of the time with weird random glitches.
For a KRC1, I doubt there's any checking of the BIOS, although I'm not sure about KRC4s and ed2005 KRC2s.
As for a faster processor... my impression is that VxWorks and KSS are built to run on a fixed time cycle, without being vulnerable to different processor clock speeds. However, I've never tested that. Also, other factors like CPU caching, instruction read-ahead, multi-core/multi-thread... the effects just aren't predictable.
Hello,
I have the same black screen problem. No external video signal and no KCP. I put another old vga card in AGP slot ad external screen works. That mean motherboard is good. Now the question is can I attach vga of KCP to this vga card (that puts on AGP slot) and use other brands instead of Kuka VGA?
Thank you.
look at schematics for your cabinet. do you see how and where KCP video is connected?
It should connect to RJ45 socket on this board. I don't know the voltage level of this socket but is it possible to use any converter pcb? anyone test it?
I have same idea in upgrading mother boards. A new mother board with PCI to ISA converter. Is it possible? Any one tested?
Does someone have KVGA repair manual? Or repaired it before? I should solve this problem soon.
And last question, can we teach robot with an external monitor and a black TP? That mean does TP keys works in this case?
Thank you.
Hello,
This can be an emergency solution for black screen TPs caused by KVG corruption.
Putting an old vga card in mother board.
Use following vga to lcd converter + a cheap tablet lcd.

I know it is not as easy as should be.
