Hello,
as far as i know, you can buy the KRC4 with Ethernet/IP support nativly without using any beckhoff adapter.
Just talk to kuka directly for this.

With the KRC4 there is the Kuka.CNC package, which allows the robot to directly execute g code. Then CAMRob is not needed.
The other points (small point distance, singularites) from SkyeFire ofcourse still apply.
All USB sticks should work.
But they need to be formated with Fat32 to work on the SmartPad. NTFS formated USB sticks will only work directly on the controller.
Hello,
do NOT install an additional NIC into the PC, this will mess up the robot system and cause all sorts of wired problems.
The KLI Port ist what is intended for putting you robot into a network. You can configure this port in the HMI.
In AUT mode, to achieve BCO it is necessary to hold down the Step-Forward key until the first movement of the program is complete. After that, release and press Step-Forward once and the program will run on its own at full speed until the end.
If you read the first post, you will notice that the OP has a VKCP as a replacement, so he can not switch to AUT anymore
Then if you put in in auto press the drives on button (button by the keyswitch with a 1 on it )
Then press the green plus until you get bco
press green plus again and it should start
This wont work in AUTO EXT, the start button (green plus) is disabled in AUTOMATIK EXTERN and the controller listens on EXT_START instead, which should normally come from the PLC. (Maybe there is also a workaround for that like the $CHCK_MOVENA ?)
Also you need to get BCO in T1 before you switch to AUT or AUTO EXT.
So it would really be the best, if you get a normal replacement KCP (no VKCP) , so you can use normal AUT again.
The problem is, that AUTOMATIK EXTERN is the mode where the robot should be controlled from a external SPS. So the SPS has to give the MOVE_ENABLE and the EXT_START signals and they are not allowed to be set to always true/ false (1025/1026).
So you either have to wire and control those signals from your SPS (or from manual switches) or buy a normal teach-pult so you can use AUTOMATIK again.
