Thanks SkyFire!
Yes, the F/T Net box uses Ethernet/IP. However, I've never had any bus error without disconnect command
I didn't check in the EIP manual... Will try this out and will give a feedback.
Thank you!

Hi all,
I am using a FT sensor (ATI OMEGA 191) with an ethernet FT Net box from ATI too. Robot KUKA KR420 R3330 F, KSS8.5. I've got the Ftctl package.
Everything works great.
However, I would like to check the connection status to the FT Net box before initiate a FT path. Reason: I have a tool changer and the FT Net box is mounted on one the tool. The FT Net box is power up everytime I pick the tool with the robot and it takes a few secondes to get it up and running.
I could use a timer to wait, let's say 20 secondes (roughly time for the box to be connected) before starting the FT path but I am wondering if there is a way to evaluate a variable in KRL. It would be much more smart.
Thank in advance.

You can jog the robot only if you are in the Set-up mode, but yes, if you want to move your robot (T1), you can do it even if you have not the safety PLC already up and running. Be sure that your WoV configuration is correct.
