Hi all
I am currently trying to put together a Multimove system with 2x 2400's and 2 external axis motors running off 1 IRC5 dual cabinet (main controller and extra drive only cabinet on top).
I have 1 external axis drive unit in the main controller, and 1 external axis drive unit in the drive only controller. The idea being that 1 robot and 1 motor work together.
So ROB1 works with Motor1 and ROB2 works with Motor2.
I am using a second drive only cabinet for the second robot. All is working fine except the 2nd external motor. It seems to me that when it tries to jog, it is using the external axis drive unit that is in the main controller rather than the external axis drive unit I have placed in the drive module only cabinet. The reason I think this is because I jog motor1 and it rotates fine. Then I change to jog motor2 and motor1 quickly vibrates and shudders and a joint collision is created. I cant seem to get motor2 to do anything
I have looked through the configuration and I can't find where I'd tell it to use the external axis drive unit in drive module 2?
Has anyone had any experience in doing this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Panic Mode
I'm sorry, I did read that post first, I'm just very new to Kuka and not sure how to find some of the information it said to include in my thread before I posted it. I don't know anything about them, hence why I am on here looking for help. The only reason I knew it was ED05 was because it says it on the computer in the cabinet. If I knew how to find this information then of course I would have included it.
Sorry if I don't know enough to qualify asking for help.

Hi SkyeFire
I have checked connections into the ESC board when I've swapped it to another board. Made sure every connector went in flush and no pins bent.
To get out of it, I either have to reset the ESC board with the button on the board itself or do a complete restart on the cabinet.
I'ts very strange.

Hi All
I'm having trouble with my KRC2 ED05 cabinet. Every now and then I get a few errors appear on my pendant which causes me to not be able to jog the robot at all. It is very intermittent. It will be fine for 5-10minutes and then the errors appear.
The errors are;
Ext. Emergency stop pressed
and
Unknown operation mode.
These seem to go hand in hand.
These are the things I have checked/replaced;
KPS x2
Pendant
ESC board x2
Re-checked Shorting plug
Looked for damage on pendant loom in the cabinet.
Any ideas would be so grateful
Thanks in advance.

Ok. I'll look at changing it to a known working one.
Thanks for your help.

Hi all
I have an M98 cabinet that I am trying to restore the last backup we made but its coming up with Error: 10073 Restore Error: (Error during the restore of step prepare. Error restoring configuration parameters)
Has anyone come across this before? I have never had this problem
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lemster
You're on the same sort of lines as I was thinking. I checked a while ago and it is booted up as a IRB120 - 0.58/3.
Although the sticker on the robot says its a 0.6/3.
When I look at the key in RobotStudio is doesn't give me any choice to change the robot type like it would do any other robot. So I have assumed this is what its supposed to be. Am I right in thinking this?

Hi Skooter
Yes the brakes click when trying to jog it. (I lightly touch the joystick so it just releases the brakes and not tries to jog an axis)
Although as soon as I go to move any axis it just cuts out with a quick judder of each axis then comes up with the Joint collision/speed error.
-
Its a compact cabinet

Hi Lemster
I have checked the contactors wiring diagrams and everything seems in order, things are going to the right things etc.

Hi SomeTekk
This is different to the manual I have, see attached image, I have 2 Brake connectors inside the cabinet
-
Ok Lemster
Thank you, I'll look into it
-
no, there's no button on the robot. It's on the front of the IRC5 Compact controller
-
When I press the brake release button on the cabinet it does actually work though

Hi all!
I've got a problem with our IRB120 robot on an IRC5 cabinet. Every time I go to jog the robot it says joint collision/joint speed on whichever axis I try and move. I would go as far as saying the robot is not the problem purely because I have put our other IRB120 robot onto this cabinet and it is saying the exact same error. Now, I have looked through the cabinet and started swapping parts I think it could be related to. Here is a list of parts I have swapped (bare in mind these and not tested parts but they all look in working order)
I have changed the;
Drive Unit
Axis Computer
Power Distribution Board
Power Supply
Safety Board
If anyone has any idea at all, any insight would be grateful, I've been scratching my head for days with no luck!
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
This is the simplest of questions but I'm really struggling to find how to do this
I am trying to edit the size of a square solid I have created, I made it too small and now I need to extend it.
The only thing I have been doing is deleted the solid and just creating a new one but there must be a way of editing the size of when I first made it. I just cant find the option to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanceJamie

Try taking all 3 boards off the motherboard rack and re-fitting them. Believe it or not but sometimes that's all it can take.

Hi kwakisaki
Thanks for getting back to me.
I don't have a back up of it. I found the 1KA board to be faulty, so i replaced this with another board out of a different cabinet. That might explain the different robot model i am getting.
The controller variant is D40F
1KP part number is 50999-2485R02. I'm not to sure what the MC unit is
X7 and X8 on the 1KP board are linked out 1-2 3-4 5-6 7-8 and so on.I have just tried a full initialization and set the correct robot model using the ZROBOT command.
I am now getting these errors;
(D2025) Robot code is mismatch between software and arm control board.
(D2026) Code is mismatch between software and current sensor I/F board.
(E1030) Encoder data is abnormal (jt 2)
(D1524) Incorrect operation of the safety relay.Thanks
