Hi people,
Does anyone know how the concept of EXTCP works? From what I understand, EXTCP acts like base and the kuka robots .dat file has the data for the robots actual TCP in the EXTCP's frame.
Why is it that we have to define whether the EXTCP is false or true in the inline form when it should just consider it as any other base? -
Hi, thanks for the reply
I checked that connection it looks good, checked X305 looks good, checked the fuse (it is functional)
Battery is supplying 24V but those might be the suspect -
I have an error on a KRC4 robot: connection to power management board lost
I checked all the fuses and all the LED"s on the CCU board-Their status is normal as shown in the KRC4 manual
I still get that error, it also throws battery backup not possible PM13 and PM16 error. -
eam,
1. After 4 miles of back and forth –solved it
a. It’s funky because this was the first thing that I checked –KLIconfig file and that was the issue
b. When I looked at DiagnosticDiagnosis, you should see data for every interface
i. All the working robot had an option for network interface (KLI) but my robot did not
1. I assumed the virtual5 is same as KLI
c. I checked the actual robots and they had the option for network interface (KLI) and my robot instead had network interface (virtual5) in Diagnosis
d. Also, the remote diagnostic gave me an option for KLI and service interface
i. The first thing I checked is this on the backyard robot and found it gave me options for virtual5 and service—Hmm
ii. I made another compare for KLIconfig file and found out they were different :-o
e. I loaded the KLI from the backups and kaBoom everything works
f. -
yes, I was missing few files
-
so what is your KLI setup? ---I am not sure how do you set this? When I open network configuration, in the virtual 5 setting, I see Queue on some robots and Receive all on mine
how many virtual interfaces are associated with it? (only virtual5 or there are others?)--I do not know how to find this
what are ip, mask etc. on the KLI and what are they on your laptop?--10.176.48.240,255.255.255.0 on the robot, ?--10.176.48.101,255.255.255.0 on the laptop,
Do you get LED activity on your laptop LAN port when you connect to KLI?--yes, because I am able to see that my laptop is connected to a lan network
Does your LAN adapter show it is connected?--yes it shows it is connected -
So I tried a different robot image with same network configuration: It works for that, the network switch is good as I am able to ping rest of the devices on the network (10.176.x.x). I am able to ping that robot fine, and when I connect to workisual it shows the 10.176.x.x network. Also, I am able to ping back and forth from robot to PC
My KLI has virtual5 associated with it, I am not sure if there are multiple networks, I doubt that
The other robot has a different software version (8.3.10)
I figure something is weird with the workvisual setting--not sure what
Subnet mask is : 255.255.255.0Gateway is 10.176.x.1
IP is 10.176.x.x -
Just found out: KSI is Kuka service interface (that's what I am able to use). and KLI is what is not working.
-
Sorry to name them like that.
There is one Ethernet connection on the robot controller, another one that is inside.
The outside one called the service port is working fine for me but the virtual5 network is not. -
I am able to use workvisual with the robot using KLI2 port. That is at 172.17.255.1. I had to use automatic DHCP on the robot.
I am able to download projects and upload them from KLI2 that is connected to the outside of robot controller.But I am still unable to talk to KLI1 port. My robot network @10.176.x.x should be the IP for KLI1 right? I am also not able to talk to auxiliary systems that are on the same 10.176.x.x network
-
1. I am using KRC 8.3.2x
2. My network configuration is properly set, my laptop's IPv4 setting are in the same network as robot config.
3. I cannot ping the robot or PC from the robot (when I tried ipconfig on the robot, it gives me the address 198.x.x.x which I believe is for internal network
4. I have tried connecting directly to the Ethernet switch board inside controller- no result
5. When I open work visual on the robot, I see that the baseAddress of active controller is 176.x.x.x which I was expecting to be 10.x.x.x (this is what I have set in network config)
6. I have tried a different image on the robot but same issue.
7. What else can I do? -
Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to install RobCad. But every time I go past "Default selection". I get this error: The files for installation requirement MKS_64bit could not be found. The installation will now stop. This probably due to failed or canceled download
I understand that MKS_Toolkit is installed if does not pre-exist. And this file seems to be a part of it. Once I start installing, I do not see all the pre-requisites being installed (MKS toolkit, exceed)
+ Windows 7 64-Bit
+Ran the runme.exe as administrator and User Account control is disabled

Hello People,
We changed KPP to a higher A rating (from 20 to 64A) for external drive. Robot had no error when it was reboot after change. But the project on the robot still has KPP-1x20 configured. Why did the robot not freak out? Does it mean I can only still draw 20 or can I draw 64? Is there any machine data that has to change? Is there any software limit set which I can see? -
Do you have to do Calibrate? Does the robot have to be in mastering position to reset the error?
In the manual I have it says to do res_pca and then say yes to reset alarm and that should be it to reset this error -
CONTEXT: I am trying to update the tech package on a KUKA KRC4. I have already updated the tech package on the robot but now all the files related to the previous tech package are giving errors as expected. I have invalid module.
WHAT I WANT:The only thing I want is the all the PTP data from the old file, but because the data is not sequenced in a sequential order, I cannot simply copy paste.
WHAT YOU CAN ANSWER: How do I keep the PTP points or update the module/template or how do I sequence all the data associated with PTP points from 1..n -
Hello Panick Mode,
But I also took the copy of harddisk of the original robot and made a clone. That gave the same issue. I tried different USB kuka sticks same issue. I tried both silent and GUI mode, yet same issue -
I am unable to reboot after the first time it boots. I tried changing the xml file like you mentioned but the issue is it does not REBOOT.
I explained it in my previous reply.
