My guess someone messed up SmartHmi.User.config. Could be willingly or unwillingly. Get a KRCDiag and look into the SmartHmi.User.config. Should be an ASCII file. In the past I had similar issues after people opened files with an (shitty) editor and then accidentally saved the file with a wrong encoding. So the first characters of some lines contained strange characters and Smart-HMI-Config parsers where no longer able to read the files.

If thats the case just restore the SmartHmi-User.Config from their latest hopefully quite new backup. Reinstalling KSS and then restoring latest archive should also work.

Hello.

A customer sent me a picture of a robot malfunction.

Please tell me how I can help him remotely. Any idea, please.

Thank you.

How exactly do you want to do this? What are you trying to accomplish? Why do you want to avoid selecting a program? Details matter.

With careful programming, one could potentially create a Dialog message on the SmartPad that, if the correct button is pushed, would send the robot Home automatically.

OTOH, if you want to move the robot Home manually from the SmartPad, your only likely options are to manually jog (after which the robot will attempt to return to the interrupted path), or select a program, or select a line in the program the robot is already running.

Thank you

Hello everyone.

Please excuse me for asking, but still.
Is it possible to move the robot to the Home position using the SmartPad2 without selecting a program?

KUKA Robot KRC5.

Thank you.

Your screenshot in the line left to your red marking (under the hood this exactly $ERSYSROOT). Set A,B,C values such that the coordinate system is on the ceiling.

E.g.

setting C = -180 or +180 will put your robot in the ceiling

also

setting A = -180 or +180 will put your robot in the ceiling

which one you chose is up to you. Basically it should be the version so all installations in your cell refer to a joint inertial coordinate system also often called World if needed.

What exactly do you mean by "this" in "Where is this parameterized?"?

- You mean the machine data that put the robot on ceiling or floor: $ERSYSROOT in R1/$machine.dat

or

- Robot has a counter balance system: Look at real robot. If there is cylindrical object mounted on axis 2 it has a cbs

or

- the robot has absolute accuracy: type $ABS_ACCUR in diplay -> variable -> single or open robot info page on HMI. If it has absolute accurcy it should read positionla accurate robot approximatly in the upper left corner

or

Thanks.

I just don't know where and what parameters to change.

I'm trying to find out.

What do I need to change exactly to make the system think the robot is at the top?
I attach a picture of my robot from catalog.

Thank you.

Quote from Fubini

First of all you need to consider whether your robot can be used on ceiling and on floor. Suprisingly enough this is not guaranteed. E.g. every robot with counter balancing system can not change its mounting. The same is true for every robot with absolute accuracy.

Then I would consider customer expectations. In my opinion swapping only the mounting and expecting everything will work out of the box exactly the same is dilusional.

If your robot does not fit in the above categories you can change the mounting by swapping the mounting setting to the required mounting inside WorkVisual.

Unfortunatly WorkVisual does not hinder you to configure nonsense here. E.g. it allows you to mount any pallettizer on the ceiling if is obvious bullshit because then you would have to pallettize on the ceiling.

Thanks for the quick response.

Where is this parameterized?

Can you show me the document or take a screenshot?

Hello.

A month ago I finished a PLC-program to control equipment (Siemens S7-1500 + KUKA + other modules), one part of which was a robot KUKA.

Now the customer wants to change the configuration in the KUKA robot. The robot is attached at the top, but it is parameterized as below.

The customer says to completely delete everything old KUKA configuration and re-create the new KUKA configuration.

I have found that it is possible to change the cell configuration, but the customer says it is not possible.

I don't know how to configure the robot from above.

Can you please tell me how to parameterize that the KUKA robot is on top when the robot is commissioned?

Thank you.

Hello.

An KSS13123 error has started to appear.

KSS13123 <SYS-X42> <SYS-X48> Increasing number of communication fault (Lost-Frame)

How can this problem be solved?

Thanks.

sigh... this is one sore point for many old school guys... the last time that file was updated was 17 years ago. since that time, there is no more single central document with all messages.

Hello.

I have a document from support.

Perhaps it will be useful to many people.

Another question.

Where can I find the file with the list of messages?

I found a file systemmeldungen_en.pdf, but not all messages are described there, and this file is from 2006 year.
Where to find the last years file.

Thanks.

Hello.

I did an experiment.

For some reason there are messages in the buffer that are not visible in smartPAD.
What are these messages with the numbers 310 and 200?
Also I'm flickering numbers, I don't know how to get rid of it yet.

Hello.

I have already read the documentation and threads about messaging.

I have a question.

The documentation says that can send 255 errors to a high-level controller.

This is generated in the file P00.dat

How to find a list of application errors and controller errors to select those errors that I think are correct?

Where can I see the existing list of application and controller errors?

Thanks.

CWRITE command can be used to solve your problem.For more details, please refer to the CWRITE manual.

Hello everyone.

KRC5, Automatic External.

I created 33 programs and control the start of the desired program through an external PLC-controller.

I only Start the program to run (signal = PGNO_VALID).

I would like to stop the program in the same way, continue from the stopped place, reset the program and start from the first line.

Are there such signals in the interface?

Thanks.

I didn't choose cell.src a program to run.

Sorry.

Hello.

I cannot run a Program in the robot from a higher-level controller. (Automatic External)

I have configured the mapping.

1) Edited the cell.src file.

2) I added the programs I needed (I created an additional directory inside the programs folder).

I set the start signal from an external controller, the program does not run.

In T1 mode the program is running.

How can I find out what else is missing to start the program from the external controller?

Thank you.

at the bottom of each window are few icons. one of them is pencil. it allow you to edit signals. details are in the manual

I did it.

Thank you.
