Did you figured it out ?

Boas pessoal
Sou o Marcos e trabalho na area de automação e robótica industrial há 1 ano aqui em Portugal. Trabalhei sempre com Robôs KUKA.
Oportunidades no Brasil ?
Tenho mestrado em Engenharia eletro e computadores com foque em automação.Cumprimentos!

Hello,
Man the same happened to me... I also though it was 12in 12out so I noticed that only the outputs were giving me an error message so I changed both IN and Out sizes to see what happened and I got both errors, So I just kept changing the sizes until the errors disapeared.
I think their OUTPUT table isnt clear because the last byte is blank and makes you think you dont need it but now I have it all working.
If anyone has the same problem:
12 Bytes IN
13 Bytes OUT -
Has anyone solved this
I have the same problem, I set 12bytes of data to communicate and I get the same exact error. I have the same exact modules for a fornius CMT machine.

We use the exact same function at my company for KUKA Robots.

In this application the client had a lot of confusion with the comunication protocol and for some reason without having it planned they implemented CanOpen when I already had InternetIp software running on the robots because that was what was planned by the guy working on the projet before me.
So the client came cry for help to find a solution because their schneider PLC that they bought didnt had InternetIp but instead CanOpen...And I very naive thought that the ethercat head module would 'convert' all the other modules you put there to something the Kuka controller would understand so I just bought the CanOpen Slaves.. I didn't even though of calling KUKA just to make sure because in my head all made sense.
So now I am sitting with a dead weight which I don't know if it is possible to configure in another way.
If it is me doing everything, then I work with Omron PLCs and many of them come with Ethernet/IP which I use to comunicate in a very simple way with the robots or I just use DeviceNet.

So... me assuming that all modules from Beckhoff would work with KRC4 I bought 3 CanOpen Slaves which now I have no clue how to configure. I though it was supposed to be similar to a devicenet module.
I was wrong. I attached 4 pics I took from the Workvisual.Is there anyway to configure the modules ? The beckhoff manual is for twincat I think. Could I somehow configure it with a diferent program and upload the EDS file to workvisual? If so how could I do it ?
I have the CanOpen Module attached to an EK1100.I only need to transfer something like 15 bytes from the robots to the PLC and the other way around.

Hello guys , thanks for the answers. I will try to explain more clear what is my concern.
So I have the robot (kuka) that loads 5 tools automaticly.
My problem is, if the tool gets used, like getting shorter or in case of the milling cutters I am concern that their diameter is reduced due to use.
So I am trying to find something that can measure the TCP of the different tools for milling, drilling and finishing the piece, And at the same time I would like to measure the diameter of the milling tool so the program can compensate for the tool use.
Something like the Keyence brand digital micrometer that TygerDawg cited which I am still researching about.
Do you know how this is typical done ? are the tools normally replaced before they get used ? Is it the responsibility of someone to check it every time?Thank you in advance

Hello everyone,
This will be my first post and hopefully one of my many in the future as I recently started to work with Robots and so on.
I have a a KUKA Positioner table and a KUKA HA Robot with a Spindle that can change tools automatically and it will be Milling and drilling to create 3D pieces.
With time I understand that the milling tools get used and I need some kind of Sensor/System for auto-calibrating the tools.As for now I found the advintec TCP from LEONI but I think I need something to measure the milling cutter diameter ? Does anyone have experience with this ?
Do you think only the definition of the TCP is enough ? Or I also need to measure variation in the diameter of the tool ?This diameter would then be used for auto compensation for the milling process. There will be a sofware that calculates all the trajectories.
Thank you in Advance,
