Hello all,
I'm new to Fanucs....
Is it possible to always cold start when turning off and on the controller? Without having to explicitly select "cold" from FNCT menus
We are using a CRX with R-30iB mini plus
many thx

Hello,
do you have any experience with KUKA robots and TiG welding applications?
During ARC_ON there is a very strong electromagnetic interference that makes the robot crazy (like completely loosing mastering)
All our attempts so far were with KRC2 and KRC2ed05 models. We had a really hard time making it work and not all of the times.
How are the newer versions KRC4 & KRC5 in comparison with the KRC2? Do they have a better isolation? Do you have any experience or comments, please?

Hello All,
can someone kindly please shed some light on this
We have a KRC2ed05, KSS 5.6.9
The robot is on a track, defined as ET1, ERSYS
There is also a one-axis positioner, defined as ET2, EASYS
We have defined ...
- a TCP for the tool[1] that's on the robot
- a root point for the external kinematic (positioner)
- a base[17] on the positioner
Then...
- from set tool/base, we select the TOOL[1] (the only one present that was used to calibrate everything) and BASE[17]
- we have tried any combination of WORLD, BASE, TOOL movement type
- any combination of axis jogging
but no matter what, the robot is not following when we are moving the rotary positioner.
Can you please think of anything?

Hello all,
we have the complete archive from a KRC4 with KSS V8.5.8 HF1
Is it possible, somewhere in there, to read the operating hours that the controller had at the time? We are trying to calculate how many hours it has worked between two archives.

Hello All,
may I ask for some help, please?
We are currently working with a CRX, R-30iB Mini Plus
The message[...] feature appears to be quite useful for our project.
So the .tp program is running, one can see the code being executed line-by-line on the screen
At some point we execute a message[...] command, to give some info to the operator, or wait for something to happen...
But how can we get back to showing the running code?
You see, in the beginning there is the window with the running code,
then the message[...] overrides this window. It is all white and in the middle appears whatever the message[...] has to say
but then, we are stuck to this message environment and we can go back to showing the running code.
One solution could be to press the Edit keypad key. But how can the program do that in runtime by itself?
Are you aware of any other workaround to force the running code being displayed on the window, please?
Many thanks for your time reading this

Hello,
did you find any material on this issue, please?
-
Aha!
Thank you both very much!
-
Thanks very much MOM
We are talking about the attached, correct?
I find it difficult to understand which number corresponds to which compartment of the connector.
For example, 1, 2, 3 & 4 appear four times in the pinout, but which one is which on the plug.
Apologies for my ignorance
-
Hello All,
does anyone have the pinout for the X19 of a KRC1, please?
Caution...it is called X19, but the plug is not circular as in KRC2s. It is rectangular.
Many thanks in advance

Hello All,
just sharing an experience with you.
We began installing a brand new KRC4 - KR120 R3200 PA
We installed the WoV that came with the robot (6.0.12 for KSS 8.6.6) and all the KOPs that came with the robot. Just to be sure that we are using the correct versions.
As we always do, we downloaded the active project and immediately tried to deploy it back, just to check that everything works.
And there was the warning (attached)! "Servo for drive 1 on axis A5 (and A6) with 40 amps is oversized. The drive requires only 20 amps"
...really, on brand new robot?
A wrong setting from KUKA? Wrong version of WoV? Do we have to change it? What happens with warranty if we change it?
Have you ever seen similar situation?
-
Hello All,
we have 3x KRC2ed05 robots.
All were bought as second hand, which means they come from different backgrounds.
However, they were stripped down to the very basics, before being sold. No external axes, no interfaces, no safety options, no BMW, GM, Audi add-ons...nothing.
But....
they all have different safety boards! We have 1x CI3 Standard, 1x CI3 Extended and 1x CI3 Tech(!). All three cabinets have the same number of cables and the same plugs going to the safety boards. Unused connectors may remain empty or have plugs with shorts.
So, the question is, is it possible (for troubleshooting purposes), to swap safety boards?
If we look at the cables and connectors, it appears that 'yes'.
But I'm not sure if they are declared anywhere in the software. So I am kindly asking for your experience...
Although, I think I remember sometime in the past, we swapped HDDs and they still worked fine. Anyway, anyone with experience on this, please?

Hello all,
do you know if there is a parameter for controlling how hard will the robot be braking when a fence door is opened? Like other brands have....
Like, 0: Soft Stop or 1: Hard Stop
The hard braking has already destroyed the brakes of three motors in our application. You see, for this application the operator goes inside the cell quite often. And they never press stop. It is faster for them to open the door.
RV-6SQ with CR2QA-711
Many thanks in advance

Many thanks!
Your answer is very clear. Fully understood

Clarification:
If I remove both KSP1 and KSP2 from cabinet A and put them both in cabinet B, then I will have a problem. By the way, what is "manually assign FSoE addresses"? Need to run WoV(?), re-build project and download to controller(?)? Is that what it means?
But if I swap KSP1 <-> KSP2 inside cabinet A, there is no problem
What if I swap KSP1 from A to B, power on with reload files, then swap KSP2 from A to B and again power on with reload files. Is that an FSoE case or it works automatically if I do it this way?
-
Many thanks Skye!

Hello all,
lets say that we have a blown KSP.
Is it possible to swap it with the one next to it? In order to verify where the problem is.
If we have a similar robot in the plant, is it possible to use one of its KSPs? In order to continue production until the spare arrives?
And what about configuration of these KSPs? Is it done automatically during power up or we need to re-build the project in WoV and re-send it to the robot?
Due to COVID, I'm thinking of attempting a remote troubleshooting and I'm trying to prepare for all possible outcomes

Hello All,
does anyone have a manual for the INV_POS function of KUKA, please?
