It depends. If programs use inline forms or not. And if they use special features like messages, handling user defined softkeys or so.
Configuration of I/O is complete different.
It is no big problem to convert Krc2 to KRC4 programs, if you have experience with Kuka systems.
But as a beginner, may be you will run into some problems. That depends on how much experience you have with general programming tasks.
What do you want to hear?
From time to time RG needs a restart. This is the way nowadays complex software works.
... I think one of the first to use a proprietary language was PUMA with VAL (This may not be 100% accurate)
Don't know when VAL was introduced, but I used BOSCH robots (nowadays they don't exist anymore) in early 80's. They had a complete language with variables, structures lke "if then else" "switch case" and so on. One funny feature was that there existed localized compilers (englisch, german, french ...) so the german programing language used: "wenn dann sonst" instead of "if then else" and so on.
They had multitasking, and they where able to control multiple mechanics with one controller. What a pity that they didn't survive.
To clarify the terms:
AoA: backup files via-Menu - Files - Backup - All of above There are stored many files like .sv/.tp/.dt .....
Image Backup: Those image files FROMxx.IMG/SRAMxx.IMG created via -Menu - Files - Backup - next - image Backup - or controlled/cold start
I can't create a station from Image. RG only accepts backdate.dt as starting point for a new station.
There are that much resources on the web for inverse kinematics.
You are a postgraduate student, so you should find some hints if you use your favourite search engine.
Have a look at the package "directory loader". You can load programs dynamically.
Full ack.
But the example with home is not a good choice because on fanucs home always should be PR[1].
No.
There is no equivalent to WoV.
Rtfm. You should read the manual.
With Triggspeed you can adjust the flow during the movement. When movement gets lower the analog output will get lower and will lower thw flow.
The dispenseware doesn't do anything else but has a more or less neat HMI and very much confusing configuration parameters (because of its universilatity)
It's useless to philosphize about those numbers. Fanuc uses this system since decades, and may be will never change because they are selling their systems like hotcakes. Older ABB robots (S3) also had the numbers, that was the beginning of robotics.
Do you have an analog Output?
Have you tried the "Triggspeed" command?
You have to provide the exact version number.
No. This would be illegal, and therefore not discussed in this forum.
Best solution would be:
use position registers.
Dejavu: Sending RGB signals to LED source
There you already have got many ideas.
And if the Kuka can communicate with the Ethercat shield, of course this can work.
You already mentioned most popular methods.
I always store the parameters at beginning of a job in separate variables, that helps for finding faults.
I'm not sure if the module is supported do you know anywhere I could check online - my search results are returning nothing of use.
Only Kuka knows, ask their hotline, or if you already have the module try it by yourself.
Assuming the EL6851 is compatible, are you saying I should unmount the El1xxx and El2xxx and mount the El6815 directly next to the EK1100?
No, You can add it at the end.
At the end of the config.ini the archive function is described. On KRC4 it creates a 'classic' backup.
You have to connect the ports on the face of EL6851 to the DMX light controller. If he has a RJ45 connector this will not be a standard network connector but a DMX (RS485) connector.
