After leaving the system on for a while there are few errors on smartpad, from bottom to top:

Credentials are not available for 172.17.0.1

Connection to SmartPadService 172.17.0.1 lost

Connection failed! Connection to 172.17.0.1 failed

What is adressed by 172.17.0.1 by default?

about point 3 : If you changed network settings in a WRONG place (like on SmartPad own software rather than HMI), reverse the change using same steps you already did (which you were supposed to DOCUMENT). on KRC4 and KRC5 teach pendant is not a stupid device like on older geenrations using KRC1/KRC2. this is a computer (has own memory, OS, menues etc.) which is why it is called smartPad (has onboard inteligence). when you are using smartPad, it is important to keep track which software (or menu entries) you are actually using.

So I plugged a monitor to krc. Went to systems settings there and I've seen that there is the IP Adress that Ive set last time (172.31.1.147) so I reverted the changes there. After system restart I have the connection to smartPad but it still says that the HMI is not available (screen attached).

The HMI application on KRC seems to be working fine at first sigh, I dont really know what to look at to see if there are any faults.

Any idea what would I do to restore the HMI on smartPad?

Im afraid I went to the system settings on the pendant after minimalizing the HMI, the one that you crossed out.

Display port you mean the XGDP?

But the current issue is that I can;t connect my teachpendant to the controller after the change. It doesnt matter if robot is in the network or not.

I am configuring my first robot, from start all by myself. I used to work on KUKA robots before but all projects and configurations were already made there.

I am using KUKA Agilus KR 10 R1100 with KR C5 micro controller, dont know what KSS version.

I tried to connect robot to my laptop and upload current project into WorkVisual. Ive seen that in the project current IP adress is 172.31.1.147, Ive set ip adress on my laptop to be in the same network but I could reach robot still. I tried few more things and finally went to system settings on the teachpendant to change the ip in the network settings there. I've put the same IP adress there as was in the project configuration (172.31.1.147) and lost connection with my teachpendant. I assume that there is now an adress conflict. After reseting the controller I can no longer connect my teachpendant to correct the ip adress there.

Any suggestions what should I do to solve it?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Im new to programming robots, currently working on my frist big project.

Im working on KR120R2700_2 robot, KS V8.7.441, KR C5.

I'm posting to request help with finding an error or finding the right path to do it.

The robot works as an pick and place unit. There is a need to implement mechanism that detects if the product have been dropped. Im using a set of three inductive sensors that indicate whether the product it properly picked or not. Four interrupts are declared at the start of the program. Three interrupts are executed by xProductDropped subprogram which stops the robot, turns off the interrupts, opens gripper, sends information to PLC about the event, waits for acknowledge, sets reset_req bit on true and performs a homing procedure. Without implementing any additional mechanisms the robot will continue the program from the point where interrupt occured. At this point robot should start the program from the begining. The fourth interrupt declared check for the variable reset_req and is supposed to reset a program if it is true (which is after executing xProductDropped subprogram). I don't know what function to use to make the program reset itself. Or maybe there is another path of making program end/start from the begingin after an event occurs.

The interrupts declaration:

      INTERRUPT DECL 11 WHEN di_sensorLeft==FALSE DO xProductDropped()
      INTERRUPT DECL 12 WHEN di_sensorMid==FALSE DO xProductDropped()
      INTERRUPT DECL 13 WHEN di_sensorRight==FALSE DO xProductDropped() 
      INTERRUPT DECL 14 WHEN b_reset_req==TRUE DO RESET

xProductDropped subprogram:

&ACCESS RVO1
&REL 3
&PARAM EDITMASK = *
DEF  xProductDropped( )
   BRAKE F
   INTERRUPT OFF 11
   INTERRUPT OFF 12
   INTERRUPT OFF 13  
   BRAKE F
   xGripper(false);open gripped to drop product, if any left
   do_ProductDropped = TRUE
   b_reset_req = TRUE
   WAIT SEC 3
   do_ProductDropped = FALSE
   WAIT FOR di_ProductDroppedAck
   xHomingProcedure();  
 
END

Whole sequence of event after dropping a product is properly executed: robot stops, gripper opens, robot sends a signal and waits for ack, and executes a homing procedure. The only thing thats not working is making the program reset.

Ive searched the manuals that I have (KSS_82_SI_en) and found usage of GOTO function. But I also have problems with properly declare labels and use the GOTO function. I've tried to use functions like GOTO, JUMPTO, JUMP,BRA,RESET,ABORT and some other stuff.

Thanks in advance for any help,
