on the menu go to

Service --> longtexts first download the longtexts (so you have the correct format)

if i remember correctly the variable $POWEROFF_DELAYTIME no longer has any function in KSS 8.x.

Kind regards,
NoMad

on officelite it is possible to set a time up to 1000s ("Power-off delay time" ).
(Log in as administrator)

office lite V8.5.6

what version of KSS are you using?

!!!!!
Change the following values at your own risk
!!!!!

The file where this Power off value is saved is found under C:\ KRC\User\PMService.user.config

Change this entry:
<PowerOffDelayTime>10</PowerOffDelayTime>

Note: this time should be as low as possible... to minimize the load on the batteries.

the file where the upper and lower limits are found are:
C:\KRC\SERVICES\Powermanagement\PMService.config

Can you do a file compare with your actual config.DAT and an older backup?

it is possible that the end of your config.DAT was lost during shut down of your controller.

note:
a small test you can do is add ENDDAT at the end of your config.DAT and hope your errors are gone.

Kind regards,

Please post Config.Dat

check the following things:

-C and D partitions on robot are shared.
-you are able to ping the robot from the pc. "edit: didn't see you could already ping the robot "

can you post code and photo's?

from what i can see the following is wrong in the KFD file:

you declared a variable 2 times with the same name

DECL PARAM [b]S_GUN_NR[/b]={VALUE {NUMBER: min 1, max 2, AUTOLIMIT TRUE},shortname[] "Gun=", shortcut[] "Gun", USERMODE 0}
;bei mehreren Zangen
DECL PARAM [b]S_GUN_NR[/b]={VALUE {NUMBER: min 1, max 2, AUTOLIMIT FALSE},shortname[] "Gun=", shortcut[] "Gun", USERMODE 0}

try and delete on of these lines and see if it helps

what are the other messages? we can only see the last one.

Make an archive

put an usb-flash drive in the cabinet
File --> archive --> USB (Cabinet)

the programs that are on the controller are now in this archive,

activate previous configuration and check if robotprograms on controller are the same as in the archive.
if not rectify according to your needs.

use office Lite

From the top of my head: I think the move enable message is because you have set the move enable input to always true($in[1025]) you should use an input coming from the plc.

For the other error, did you map your i/o from the plc over input 1025 or 1026 or any other i/o signals reserved for the robot system?

It doesn't work is pretty vague, what does and what doesn't work?

what data types are you trying to send?

Int?
Real?
Bool?

try and see if you set a value on PLC side you can see it on robot side and vice versa.

---
on PLC side send a Word or double word
on KRC you should recieve the same length of bits, map these in or outputs as signals with the same length : $In[startbit] to $In[Endbit]/ $out[startbit] to $out[Endbit] (byte 8 bits, Word 16 bits, ...)

Check that bytes have to be swaped or not.

you could try this:

1-Turn mode selection key.
2-deselect robot (so the blue radiobutton is white).
3-reselect robot
4-Turn mode selection key back.

sometimes the software on the Smartpad gets stuck in a loop, this worked for me most of the times.

Quote from panic mode

sounds like a job for safe operation

as a non safe solution you could set the soft ends +/- of the ex axis to the actual value +/- 0.1° after you have reached the position you want to stay in.
but before you want to move the ex-axis, you'll have to change the soft-limits of the ex-axis back to the default value

Can you make a video and post code please?

if with nodes you mean devices that have an FSOE adress, then yeah. you cannot change 2 of the at the same time.

if you replaced these nodes with new components you can use WoV to assign the correct FSOE adresses.

Kind regards,
Nomad

Why not use a static ip on all your components?

Hello panic mode,

thank you for your info.
the problem is that i am using the same motion planner for ptp spline and cp spline blocks
Example:

;PTP Splineblock


PTP_SPLINE 
SPTP XP1
SPTP XP2
SPTP XP3
ENDSPLINE C_Spl


<-- I get an advance run stop here 


;CP Splineblock


SPLINE 
SPL XP11
SPL XP12
SPL XP13
SPL XP14
ENDSPLINE C_SPL

I removed the parameters to not have that fill the whole screen.

Kind regards,
NoMad
