WoV 6.x has ILFs, but only for robots with KSS 8.6 or above, and just basic ILFs, but it is a beginning.

The paid option is for ILFs for KSS 8.5 or above.
ILFs for KSS 8.3 or lower should work fine.

I would like to receive it. If isn't too big, You can post it on manuals section, Alexey40RUS .

- Is EDS necessary to connect the two devices?
- Is I/O mapping necessary to start the EtherNetIP protocol?
- Is it possible to connect the welding machine to the port KONI? Or it can only be connected through KLI?
- What am I doing wrong?
1) Yes, it is. The best option is load the EDS provided by the machine manufacurer on WorkVisual
2) Technically speaking, the bus can "work" without the mapping, but this would be like post a letter without the sender and receiver addresses. Signals won't arrive where they should be.
3) As far I know, isn't. KONI is used for specific applications, like vision systems.
4) Is difficult to bet.
But you are sure the welding machine is properly configured with the 192.168.133.50 ip address? You can ping the machine, or see it with other tool?
And I would try to use the specific EDS provided by the vendor as well.

Maybe You problem is related to Status and Turn values, that are present on E6POS variable, but are not provided by BASE_DATA.
You can try to set them manually on .dat file, or try another another approach.
Create a FRAME variable on $config.dat, like
CodeFRAME POSITION={X -1135.17,Y -1312.02,Z 1377.81,A 179.990,B 0.01000000,C 90.5000} ;TOOL[16] BASE[16]
And at your program, You write something like this.
But, I'm really don't remember if You need UserTech or ExpertTech packages installed on robot to do this.

4. If You make a copy of MD: of the robot, You will get the .vr files converted to .va (readable format)
5. You can convert .sv files to .va, but I'm not sure if You can do it other way, .va to .sv.

Some days ago, Siemens released SimuLite, today drag&bot released their cloud simulation tool, and other companies already have similar products, sometimes focused on specific tasks, like palletizing.
Software as a Service is a well established paradigm on other areas, and I think we will see more and more industrial software being migrated to/also offered on the cloud in the near future, even considering that some industrial environments are not always served with good connectivity, if it has some.

Hello everyone.
How to do timing analysis? I have no idea where to start so I'd love to get some useful material recomendations to study about it, or the way you do it.
I currently have a robot tending 3 milling machines and robot goes from the loading station to each machine one at a time. At one point all the machines are full, robot waits a bit and then fills all three machines in a row with no pause in between. My boss asked how would it affect time if I forced a robot to wait for each machine a bit, stagger them in a way that robot splits his bigger wait into 3 smaller ones.I could make a table in excel and try to set up some timing diagram and try to move stuff manually around to see what would happen in theory, but I'm sure there's a better way, I just don't know it yet.
You didn't mentioned the brand of Your industrial robot, so I don't know if this is possible in Your specific case, but in situations like this I like to create some timers on program, to measure the cycle steps, and last but not least, measure the idle time between these cycle steps.
I prefer timers over manual time measurement because it will not be affected by different criteria by different people making the measurement, for example.
With this data, I go to spreadsheets and make my basic number crunching.
Lets say You optimize the first cycle, reducing its time, but this will increase the idle time before the next operation, so I will not have any gaining on overall cycle time.
But if You optimize the last cycle step, It will create a cascade effect and previous operations will be a little bit faster.

If you is using the default HOME declared in $config.dat, you can check $IN_HOME, declared by default as $OUT[1000].

Thanks, Lemster68. I've include this one there!

Nice job. I was looking at the US brands, and it looks like ThermoFisher just uses a rebranded Fanuc.
Thanks, Nation!
Yep, some of the brands cited there are rebranded robots with some different spice. As Bosch APAS, that is KUKA based. I included an note on Thermo row.

When You try to activate it from smartpad, You get some error message?

hello can sombody tell me krc 2 controler can it programing in workvisual or in other program tanks
You can make some workarounds and use WorkVisual text editor to do a limited syntax checking and so on, but I think this would be overkill. WorkVisual is designed to work with KRC4 and onwards controllers. Not KRC2.
The best option is use the old but gold Notepad++ (or any other text editor of Your choice), and/or OrangeEdit, that is a little bit slow for my taste, but have nice features to work with KUKA robots.

Thanks, kwakisaki.
If You all have information about new brands or other relevant stuff, please drop me a line.

The Industrial Robot (simple) Database, despite its pompous name, is a simple spreadsheet in which I gather links related to industrial robotics.
It can be accessed here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…#gid=1620568682
Its interesting to see how the industrial robotics landscape is changing fast over the last years.

I'm not sure if You can do this with KUKA RemotePendant program, but maybe You could give it a try.
-
Another possibility is floppy or floppy drive itself being damaged.
I strongly recommend swap floppy drive for one of these floppy to USB converters. They are cheap and works well with older KRCs.
-
Interesting. Can you connect RoboDK to OfficeLite?
Yes, you can (sort of), but the process is a little bit tricky.
More info here.

What errors You get while deploying it?

Well, never saw this exact application, but I think You can achieve some results with GETPOS, SHIFT-ON and SHIFT-OFF commands.
