Does anyone have information on how to configure the other XF ports? Very scarce information online about this, even KUKA Xprt does not have these manuals readily available.

The Global Points checkbox is locked out and says I must have rights for global touchup in order to activate this as a global parameter. I am logged in as Admin, what else do I need to do to get permission to check this box?

Hey Forum,
I am trying to add in an ARO servo gun into a refurbished R30-iB controller. I have the required software installed, Motor ID directly from ARO, and have all the variables punched into the config from the servo card. And I have another robot with the same additional amplifier wired the exact same way to the main board, this controls a trunnion and it is working fine.
After rebooting the CPU after punching in my variables I get the error SVGN-173 indicating that the Group 2: Axis 1 has timed out. When I hold the deadman I cannot get my fault light to clear, but I have no additional info from the pendant other than it saying "Waiting for servos ready". When observing inside the cabinet and toggling the deadman, I can hear the contactors for the servos engage and all lights on the main board are green, and I do not have the "SVALM" or "SVEMG" lights on. However, I notice that I do not get a status back from the external amplfier where as the robot I have that works will read the status "0" on the aux amp. I have checked all my wiring and everything looks like its connected fine, and I do have power to the amplifier when testing with a multi meter.
However, in the control start I also have a setting called "Hardware Start axis" that gives me range options from 37 - 61. It is set at 37 right now; I cannot find any additional info on what this number should be, potentially this is my issue?
Anybody else configure an ARO servo gun and run into a similar issue? Do you guys think the amplifier is no good? Is there a way to confirm that with the teach pendant, as it definitely has supply power.
I also checked all fuses on all boards including the one inside the external amplifier, these are all fine.

Hello,
I am using the new OmniCore30 an I am trying to do a self calibration check. Usually I would just do run the SafetySync program, but Omnicore does not seem to have this. So my idea is to move the robot to zero position and have the robot compare its rev counters to what is should be according to the manufacturer's master data sheet. Does anyone know how to take live current rev counter data and move this to a register? Thanks.

Awesome! However, I cannot find where I enable "Quick Connect". Where in WorkVisual can I find the slave configuration settings?

Hello,
I am using a KUKA KRC4 Quantec 2, and I have a material handler robot with several different end effectors. Each of these end effectors have a IO Block on them for the valves and sensors, connected via Ethernet/IP. In auto, when the robot disconnects one end effector, the communication drop causes the robot to lose auto. In Fanuc there is an Ethernet Configuration setting called "Reconnect" and "Quick Connect" that will ignore the communication timeout for that specific device this setting is meant for tool changers. How can I do this with the Kuka?
Regards,

I have a few devices connected to my robot through Ethernet/IP, (Balluff blocks, welder units, etc.) I was wondering if there was a way to tie the status of the device to an output. I need to send an output to the PLC to let the machine know if one of the devices has been disconnected from the robot.
I'm guessing there is probably some variable that ties to the Device ID but I cannot find anything as such.
