Nope, sadly Kuka still does not offer that..

If you start with EXT mode when connecting VRP, you can change mode using VRP.

If X13 is inatalled, there must be X11 as well. X13 doesn't go without X11
X13 does not need jumper plug, just deactivate SafeOp
X11 does not need jumper plug to move robot. Just activate StartUp mode.
Purpose of these interfaces is not to force you to use some jumper plugs, it is to allow you to create meaningful safety circuits.

What help do you need? Cannot find KUKA contact info? It is on their website...

i would say try sharing more info. There is a pinned topic 'read first' that should help clarify expectations. For example essential s should include exact OS version, thpe of robot and flange, and what led to this.
Common problems include:
Big jump in OS version during OS upgrade so PDS firmware is no longer supported.
Wrong project configuration.
Project IO generated using wrong version of WorkVisual etc.
If you need help in a public forum, your best bet is to open up about details....

i am not aware of gearbox refurbishing service. new gearbox (single) for one of main axis would cost you as much as you paid for used robot. one option is to consider getting another robot arm or entire system for spare parts.

check manual, KSS8.3 already monitors 2-3 points when using Cartesian spaces.

you can download siemens servo motor catalog and see EXACTLY how article number is composed. if you searched this forum you would already know that.

you can backup of clone HDD using whatever tool you have. Ghost, Acronis, does not matter...

Some robots don't even have T2.
T1 is manual mode with speed restriction. max speed is 250mm/sec.. if reachable at all.
T2 is manual mode without any speed restriction so robot can move at 100%
In manual mode (T1/T2) operator can open cell door, walk inside cell and move robot while next to it. But since in T2 mode robot can move at maximum speed, this is very dangerous.
For that reason T2 is not allowed, or.... maybe allowed in special circumstances. For example in Canada this MAY be used but.... the list of additional requirements is rather long and cumbersome to meet. basically it is deterrent. nobody in their right mind would want T2 unless they really really needed it.
so called expert that suggested to rookie to use T2 should be questioned for doing so.

insufficient information, check pinned topic READ FIRST
what exact controller version, what exact KSS, is the mode selector switch on the cabinet or on teach pendant...
Btw, why would you want T2? First thing everyone does is make sure that T2 is disabled. Check if T2 is allowed in your country and what requirements are imposed to use it.

check forum, this was discussed already

Anything you do could make difference.... and that means result could be better or worse than what you have new.
Smart thing is to always make a backup before doing any work. The more diverse forms off backup the better .. archive, krcdiag, hdd image.
Then. I would check logs and compare current archive with good one.
Things like shown in your screenshot could be caused by many things. For example:
1. Incorrect initial setup or programming. Just because robot was in production, does not mean that things were good. Maybe this was never meant to survive cold boor.
2 changed tech package, (added, removed,. )
3. File corruption, maybe caused by buggy software, poor maintenance (never replaced batteries), failing hdd etc
4. User action, changing files or settings, trying to deploy wrong backup, etc
5. Transient.
And many more
You are making mistake by:
1. Not reading pinned topic and still making posts (there is a lot of info that will help you get help)
2. Not showing system info, KSS, tech options

i don't really work with KRC2 any more but this was something that was easy to find. so i decided to see for myself if times have changed.
1. google produces bunch of garbage links to sites that only show 2-page preview. go figure...
2. Visited Kuka .Xpert, only found article number, not cool Kuka, not cool...
3. Finally went straight to the source, FSC is "Fujitsy Siemens Computers" or Fujitsu computers sold through Siemens. and of course https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/IndexQuickSearchResult.asp was all that was needed.
It took 10 minutes but i got the manual, drivers etc. I don't know how you spent an hour on this and still came up empty...
anyway, enjoy:

i guess saying "you get what you pay for" still holds.

I was running 5.0.9 but Just downloaded and installed WoV 5.0.10 and it works great too.
-
Just ask Kuka to send you specific WoV version....
Can't speak about every system out there but I considering reinstalling WoV, I would always make sure that installer is downloaded correctly, extracted, then moved to a folder with short name, then installed by running Setup.exe and not the MSI installer.
-
The only thing you can do is login as Expert and use Start-Up mode. This means T1 only....
Otherwise you would need to get safety PLC or modify robot controller (add SION-SIB and change safety interface to parallel).
Safety PLCs don't cost an arm and leg any more.... At least some of them.
What safety interface you have there? FSoE, ProfiSafe or CIP Safety?

Of course it makes difference. MFC implements only basic DeviceNet functionality to allow low cost integration of I/O. If you plan on using advanced features such as coupling, MFC will not do, you need to get LPDN.
but in your specific case, his is not an issue this time because you mention that there is no DN node after tool changer.
about your point... not sure what you find more simple. adding IOs to existing coupler is usually simpler. but devil is always in the detail and need to be considered case by case (location, wiring, cost, power arrangement and utilization etc.)
