I added it but still I don't see anything on I/O list

Hi everybody;
first of all, I am new user for ABB robots. I used KUKA before. But I have to work with a ABB S4 now.
the robot is ABB S4 (M98 or M94) 1400.
I make format it. I use boot disk and setup system newly. now it is working normal. but it don't see any I/O.
when I try to solve this problem, I observe that: Robot don't have configuration with DSQC 315. I enter to system parameters and configure DSQC 315 by manual. Now DSQC 315 is on board list. but still I don't have i/O connection with outside. also digital imput output list is empty. would you help me please?
I urgently need a help
thanks so much for helps

can someone share a new torrent adres for them please?

can anyone send this pocket to me, please? my mail is neyzencefil@yandex.com
thanks to everybody who help me

Advise : - take a screwdriver and gently knock relays few times - for almost 100% relays for hand mode or auto mode RELAYS.
If it will not give You good result we will be checking signals. But I think it will give good results.

Thanks a lot, I had been looking for a VKRC1 electrical drawing to track the signals, but couldn't find any. So I went back and tried tinkering with relays mechanicaly, but it didn't work. Still, thanks for the advise =).

Rainman,
Well I believe auto ext. signals are right:

DRIVES_OFF: Always ON (Hard connection of 24V to the designated input)
MOVE_ENABLE: Always ON (connected to the Normally-CLOSED contact of a red stop button)

CONF_MESS: Pulse trigger (connected to the Normally-OPEN contact of a green start button)
DRIVES_ON: Pulse trigger (connected to the Normally-OPEN contact of "another" green start button)
EXT_START: Pulse trigger (connected to the Normally-OPEN contact of "a third" green start button)

I also went through signal checking from Monitor -> I/O -> External I/O, and saw thatthe signals are functioning.

So maybe the board is malfunctioning, or its something related with the wire harness. Thanks for replying =).

EDIT:
Based on the message "operator safety gate open", one should assume that the fault cannot be I/O config related right? It seems to be not related with any soft config but a pure electrical check. Can there be a configuration via KSS or I/O settings needed to fix this?

And does anyone have the electrical drawing of the VKRC1 controller?

Hello eveyone,
I have a VKRC1 (with ONLY T1 and Ext. Aut. modes on its pendant). It all seems to be ok at T1, but I get the following error when I switch to Ext Aut.
"Opearot Safety / Gate Open"

Here is the XS2 plug wiring.
A1 - A3 - B1 - For ext. emgr. 24V
A2 - B2 - Ext. emgr. relay channel 1
A4 - B3 - Ext. emgr. relay channel 2
B4 - B5 - Safeguard channel 1
B6 - B12 - Safeguard channel 2
B7 - B8 - B9 - T1 Operation mode
(No connections for A5 and A6 / Interbus, there is a board for interbus but we will not be using)
I have attached the connections and the circuit diagram under CIRCUIT.JPG

Additional Info----------------
Wether im at T1 or Ext, on the safety circuit board, none of the relays change status when I disconnect B4 or B6 (safeguard). As far as I understand, It is supposed to release a relay, like when I disconnet an emgr. jumper (it releases R1 and R4 from the image SAFETY_BOARD).
In case it provides any clue, here is the relay reactions at manual and ext. auto modes (relay numbers are marked on the attachment SAFETY_BOARD):

Manual mode (dead-man not active, drivers are off):
R1: ON R2: OFF R3:OFF R4:ON
R5:ON R2:OFF R3 OFF R4:ON

Ext. Auto mode:
R1: ON R2: OFF R3:OFF R4:ON
R5:ON R2:OFF R3 OFF R4:ON
----------------------------------------

The connections seems to be OK, I have the right readings for 24V at the shown pins on the circuit diagram (CIRCUIT.JPG). I cant figure out what the problem might be. Anyone have any clue ?

Do i need to do something other then sending CONF_MESS, DRIVES_ON, DRIVES_OFF (always high) and EXT_START. Or is it more likely some kind of an electrical problem?

Thanks in advance,

Any ideas =)? Can it be maybe because it was not intended to continue weaving until the next command. To explain the problem more briefly: If there is an arcL command with weaving which welds a line of 100 mm and the arc supervision halts the command after 60mm due to a problem that is caused by the welding parameters, it retries and continues welding but welds the remaining 40mms without weaving.

Hello, I have a problem regarding the weave pattern after a fault followed by retrying. Whenever it gets stopped by arc supervision, the robot retries that arc motion but It doesn't do weaving untill the next command. It follows a straight line while welding and continues weaving with the next arcL command. Can it be fixed?

Thanks, how can I confirm if that option is possible for S4C plus?

I have a setup with a rotary table mounted with two axes on each face (being used for welding). I can control these 3 axes at the moment with an S4C Plus controller. For being able to weld from every side, I activate the axis which is facing the robot move it then deactivate it an then I continue jogging the robot for welding.

For cylindrical objects, I want to keep rotating the axis while doing welding. At the same time the robot needs to track the work-piece mounted on the axis. What do I need to do this? Is it just a software option or do I need to check for some hardware like tracking boards?

Thanks in advance.
