Please explain in detail how you changed the name. Did you perform the Reset SID of KUKA or did you just changed the name?
I just changed the name in windows to try and access it over the network via name like \\KR70\Share
You have had a fully functional robot system before you started, right?
Yes. The system is brand new.
Here's a short history of the actions I performed:
After initial setup and wiring of the X11 Plug I played with it a bit in T1, then wrote a small test program for AUT mode.
Then I connected the monitor in order to add a network share in order to be able to program on a remote machine in VS Code.
At this point I saw that the SmartPad was missing some elements but I thought that it's normal behavior for when you have a monitor connected.
I created a new user, changed the IP address and initially shared the Programs folder with the new user. When that didn't work I tried sharing a new folder on the D: drive. That didn't work either.
At this point I had to move the robot to a different position and noticed that while pressing the deadman's switch on the SmartPad in T1 would activate the motion buttons on the monitor (they were missing on the SP) pressing them would initiate the distinctive high pitch drive sound on the robot, but there would be no motion.
I removed the monitor but the SP would not come back to it's working mode.
Changed the IP back to original, removed the new user and all sharing references to it.
Unfortunately (n00b alert) I didn't write down the original computer name
I started this thread regarding this issue here.
Recently I found another one explaining the same issue here.
I have a hunch the sharing problem is a Windows 10 IoT thing. And, as MOM said:
There is a major difference between my setup and yours
For now I'm going to stop trying to fix the sharing problem until I fix the SmartPad. Hopefully I'll get a recovery image tomorrow and see how that goes.
Thanks again for the patience and I'll keep you up to date on any progress.
