Good morning Skyefire,
The KSS version is 5.2.15, it is a KRC2 KR60/3 robot.
No idea of that value ($PRO_I_O[]) but I'll check, in fact, there is some sort of problem in the backup operation, they can't perform the backup as a message like "the file can't be found" appears... 
I'll get the status of the asked internal variable...
When trying to start it it appears any error message saying "the file could not be located".
And yes, a cold start has been tried. Same result.

Hello all,
Today a customer called telling that some parts of the machine are not working properly.
It seems that the sps program is stopped (S) letter in black and grey background.
I've asked the customer to restart the SPS program but there has not been luck on that.
The submit program is there but the robot can't start it...
What would you look for?
Thank you in advance.
You are welcome!
I'm glad to have helped you.

The sps is a software plc that runs in parallel of the motion task.
You could see it in your system folder. Go into expert mode, go to the system folder and open it. Open all folds and take a look inside. Probably it will have plenty of code lines inside.
Be careful with the folds you delete. I don't have any sps program at hand, but it is easy to see the user code area (it is inside a fold that reads something like "user plc program here").
Good luck.

Shouldn't it be enough to create a robot base? Workobject is the name ABB gives to bases.

With a krc4 you could do it, but you won't be able to move the robot without the required safety bridges as the old krc2 is not prepared for that.
Call kuka and ask for the electrical diagrams of the related harting. Was it x11?
Harting is a brand dedicated to manufacture industrial rugged plugs for a wide range of configurations. It would be like people would start calling robots as abb's.
Good luck.

Really strange, it could be that you had an interruption or a parallel task that would some times cause that freezing.
It could also be that your controller require a os upgrade to a newer version. You can call ABB to get one.
Good luck!

It will be long and now I'm overworked, but anyway, you are interested on getting the position of the part, and then using the robot library to follow parts on the conveyor, pick it, divide the problem in a few stages:
1. Learn how to send data from the camera to the robot (ethernet, serial...).
2. Getting xyzabc from the part using the camera..
3. Learn how to follow the conveyor with the robot. Change speeds to ensure you are doing a proper flying saw.
4. Make the programming following robot's instructions when you are following a conveyor and using as starting point the info from the camera.
With that you should be ok.
Good luck.

Typically picking from a conveyor includes a mix of factors:
Encoder to be able to synchronize the robot movement with the conveyor belt.
Artificial vision cameras to get the position and orientation (if needed) of the part or some mechanical devices to ensure the parts will always be placed in the right position.
Without those things it is really difficult to get a part from a conveyor.
Once you have the AV it will be really easy to get the part.
Good luck!

Yes, I want to ask for a number.
I know the possibility to use a dialog and use keys to select one of the options, but if there are more options than the amount of available keys then this approach simply fails.

Hello all,
I'd like to be able to ask for a number (i.e. starting position in the pallet system).
I know the people on orangeapps have created some kind of plugin for KRC4, but I'm interested in KRC2.
Is it possible?
I know how to show messages, but this is not what I do need.
Thank you in advance!
Forget it... that orange pen pushbutton on the left has made it... 
Hello all,
I'd like to be able to open a keyboard and write code directly into the opened program.
Is there any better way than opening the on-screen keyboard on Windows?
Thank you all!
Already solved, it was related to the robot not being capable to load... something went really wrong in the KRC4... 
Thank you for your answer, but no, I don't have the USB recovery stick...
Thank you eusty and skyefire for your comments, it's a pity they've not thought on putting an internal method to recover the robot to it's Factory settings reinstalling the KSS automatically from the hdd...
This should never happen under any circumstance. 
Not at all Eusty, I've got two things:
1. a workvisual Project (which I don't know if it can help or not).
2. I could get Access to the D drive after cancelling the menú that appears on the kcp at the beginning... In the D Drive I have:
a) two folders with cryptic and long names.
b) InitialProject (Folder)
c) KRC_Release (Folder)
d) Kuka_OPT(Folder)
e) WorkVisual (Folder)
Could I get something positive from any of those sources?
Thank you in advance!
Hello all,
A robot KUKA have lent me wants to be on holiday during the weekend, and this is not interesting for me...
I've received a technology package, and I've installed it copying the package into the D: drive and going to the robot menu to select install new technology.
After that I've restarted the computer.
Now the robot don't want to start.
The leds in front of the robot electrical cabinet are as follow:
At the beginning the green led (top left one) blinks slowly.
After a while the red led (down right one) gets on and the green led (top left one) blinks faster.
The KCP shows a red stripe at top and the three icons remain RED (man with seatbelt), YELLOW (IP) and RED (robot).
What should I do?
Is there any option out there that would help me to restart that robot again?
As always thank you in advance.
Hello all,
I've started workvisual this morning and I've been able to see the status (online) and to download the programs KRC folder into the workvisual software (I think it's called upload).
Anyway, after a while I don't know what I've done but I can't see the robot in the ONLINE ADMINISTRATION, even if I press refresh no robot is found.
Using netscan I can see the robot computer... it is in my same IP range and network mask (I've created a shared folder and I can cee it from my computer).
Is there anything I could do to get it to work again?
I've restarted both my latptop and the robot using a cold start...
Thank you in advance!
