Good afternoon,

Im new to Kuka robots and their programming language, I read in some other threads that there is a manual or documentation about KRL, I have read that this manual or one similar is supposedly already shared under the appropriate thread, however im unable to locate a working link or download. Would someone be able to share it, or direct me to the appropriate thread. I attempted to contact Kuka support a couple of times but theyve sent manuals I already have, and none of them are of any help.

Good afternoon,

ive just begun working with Kuka robots, still very green. So there might be more posts from me in the future, should the manuals I have not be of any help.

ive downloaded the KUKASim trial and this might seem like a silly question, but I cant seem to locate how to place in a robot. I assume it would be done through the E catalog since its the only thing i see that can insert a model, but i dont have any options for robots. Is there a website or source I can or have to obtain these from? or is there an option im just not seeing?

I recently installed an older version of roboguide onto a new pc, when i go to create a new cell, i get an error as displayed in the attached image, does anyone know how i can rectify the error.

I have a zone that's controller via Plc and disabled, its not putting out a monitor input, while disabled I need to monitor that too. Any way I can go about doing that?

Im trying to monitor using my Plc is there a way to use DO, I couldn't get it to work with DO using these settings

Cartesian position is exactly what I need. Do I need to do anything to the safe io, and is the start value how I determine which frame I'm monitoring?

I have a fairly simple question, I want to be able to observe wether or not something is in one of my DCS zones, for instance if something has entered zone 1 I'd like a bit to come on showing that.

How might I go about doing this, tying io to DCS is a little confusing.

Im working on a project and we are trying to use a wait instruction with two seperate and statements plus an or statement.

It's basically structured like this for example

Wait (DI [43] = on and RI [2] = off) or (DI [43] = off and RI [2] = on)

When we attempt to step through it we get an alarm INTTP 447 parenthesis mismatch, any help in whats going on?

This is less an issue im having and more of a question. In the IO mapping option of my pendent, when mapping a bit there is the Ports number option, it clones the bit I map, I was just wondering what its actually used for. Its probably a very obvious use that im overlooking, but im curious either way. Any answer will be appreciated, and met with gratitude.

hello,

yes i did, i have the WinC5G working now, I am now just curious as to why allowing a seemingly random thing through my firewall would solve the problem i was having. it was the distributed transaction coordinator that was blocking my connection.

Alright so i managed to get it working by allowing distributed transaction coordinator through my firewall. So thats a completed issue, anyone know why that solved the connection problem.

Ive used the cmd window to ping the ip adress, and it does say that its communicating. The credentials that im using are general access so username ga, password ga, its set up with all the privileges.

my WinC5G is version 2.40.7. Im sill getting that same pop up, it cant connect to the server.

ive followed the steps in the manual, and what was mentioned above. However I am unable to connect to the controller. i get an error saying a connection with the server could not be established.

(EDIT1):

I have found my ip adress under the network screen of the setup tab. connected my APC board to my pc. Assigned the Ethernet connection the appropriate Ip adress and matching submask. and changed the c5g library to match my system, i believe it was 2.4. But i still get that server error.

(EDIT2):

my Lan connection says i have no network access, could that be my problem. How would I go about fixing that?

Time for me to throw another post up. I find comau's to be very user unfriendly sometimes.

My new question is the proper procedure to connect the controller to my WinC5G software. the manual says to login with administrator privileges, and match the ip adress to the one on the APC board. However it hasnt worked for me, so my two theory's are that 1. what i believed to be the APC board (anyone have a picture of one) is in fact not, or 2. i need a full version of WinC5G and im not sure if i have one.

Any suggestions or assistance would earn a small lifetime of gratitude.

sorry for the misunderstanding, the example i put is what im trying to enter into the program. i need direction on how to actually do that. i dont have any menu options that relate to constants, and when i try to manually enter it on the pendent i get an error.

the one direction i recieved form another source said to program it offline using winc5g and then send it to the controller. which works but id like to know a method to do it on the pendent, incase offline programming isnt an option.

This is a repeat post but i need to figure this out, I am using a C5G controller, and am trying to add in some constant declarations however i have been unsuccessful in doing so. I have read through multiple manuals, and tried the comau tech support number and both have been less than successful.

This is the simplest thing thats giving me trouble.

CONST

FMI1_StyleProg = 1

ReadStyleGoToPounce = 38

BEGIN

Any help people can give would be appreciated

Im currently training on Comau robots, and have hit an obstacle. I need to add in a Constant statement, but none of the manuals i have explain how to actually declare one. If anyone could explain to me how i might go about inputting this, it would be appreciated.

Quote from pdl

On the controller explorer tree on the left hand side of the page, right click on the controller and select properties. There will be a tab in the property window where you can point to your drive.

Thank you for the assist, I appreciate the help.

Hello im trying to transfer the IO files from my controller to roboguide version 9. On the prior version I was using there was an option to change the UD1 directory to my drive, but I don't see it in this version. Does anyone know how I might do this?

So first time posting a question, using a r2000 ib robot, im attempting to wire up a sensor on a gripper i have to Robot Input through an ee cable ive stripped the end off of and labeled the now exposed wires. Ive connected the sensor to my cable through a m12 round plug connector that i have again stripped one end off to just connect the wires. Ive had no luck with getting the sensor to actually work. Ive tried swapping to another device which again didnt work, and now believe that im not getting supplied any power. Does anyone have any ideas on how i can solve my issue.
