the robot is in patras city .and i will transport it back to athens in the following 2 days because of an upcoming lockdown that will prevent me from travelling there so that i can continue with all your suggested steps.yes the manual is a good idea, and i have allready tried to read it,and every time i become more familiar.i just needed an initiation and your forum is perfect for this,and i am really thankful to all of you.as for the possibility of someone who can give to me a formal help...well here in greece there is no kuka representation ,i have found 2-3 persons who are integrators of multiple brand robots,but they are not available at the moment for a reasonably priced lesson..
when i have the robots set in my house in a safe manner,i will send feedback from my upcoming attempts to jog the robots...
i will also try to sell them,so that i can buy a kuka cobot like iiwa or iisy or a smaller kr4 sixx so that i can be more flexible and portable while trying to learn them...these two kr6 r700 sixx that i bought are heavy and i have quite regret buying them,because of their size and weight...
if you can suggest anyone in greece with kuka knowledge for any future training it would be awesome
also if any one of you needs to buy two kuka robots like the ones that i allready have,feel free to send me your offers.
thank you again all of you for your help and for your time

these are pictures of the inside of the two cabinets,i think that i spotted the unplugged x11 cable and i guess that the jumper substitute that helps the profinet is somewhereon the left side of the ccu where the cables are crowded and i do not have good visual...
as for the work visual.i have installed it in my laptop.do i have to connect my laptop with the controller somehow? by ethernet?do you have any previous thread with information about starting with work visual?here in the forum?.
-
here is a picture of the x11 socket that i accidentally have...i can see that some pins are allready blocked?is it possible that the x11 is allready hardwired for a hardware safety use?if yes,then,how could i reconfigure the safety directlly to be managed thru the x11?only in workvisual or also in the smartpad?if only in workvisual.then.workvisual acts like a simulator of the robot ?do i connect my laptop to the cabinet while i use the workvisual?or i do it in two steps ?id definitelly prefere a step thru the smartpad if this is possible.but ofcourse i will try to learn workvisual if it is a necesity at the moment

panic mode,i have read your post again and again...lots of new words for me in there but i begin to understand how things work with the robot...so
if i get it right..,you previously advised me to turn off profinet thru workvisual,you still advise me to do so,but after turning it off(or after leaving it installed but reconfiguring the safety data stream to x11) i will need to put some jumpers in the x11 socket so that i can have a hardware safety ,and this is the safety that i will bypass in start mode.correct?if i get it right,then first of all,turning off profinet (or reconfiguring it for assigning the safety to x11) is possible only thru workvisual?or it can be done also by the smartpad?i installed workvisual in my laptop,if it is only done thru workvisual,i will try to learn how to do it there i guess.and after profinet is disabled.,are there any schematics on how-where should i put the jumpers in the x11?as i told before,the robot came without any papers,no schematics,no manuals.
-
after checking the logs and the screens,do you think that by turning off profinet i could lift the problem?is it the profinet the most possible reason for the non movement?i have found in the menus a place where i could uninstall the profinet drivers or update or reinstall them....would you suggest anything like that?or should i focus my effort in trying workvisual?to use workvisual,i will need to connect an external pc to the robot?i think that i have downloaded it.i will install and start playing with it if i can
any other advice?maybe any other change of values in the input-output tab?
and finally,..just for the record...the profinet is an interface for using external devices with the robot?is it a security feature?what is its purpose?
thank you again for your time

panic mode i thought to express my doubt about the 6d mouse...because i really am out of ideas about what might be the problem.i will read again the manual for sure.but yes it is better that the mouse does not interfere with anything else...
skyefire ,so you think that maybe id need to change more values in the inputs-outputs?like the "drives off" ?
i also tried before packing the robot,to load some other projects from the left middle area of the display of the pendant..it had there 5 projects..one base project one initial project and 3 more...i tried them all.and each one had different errors to deal with...the least errors i had was 8 errors ,the ones that i have sent today
any idea would be appreciated.i will go again to the city where the robots are in some time from now,and i will try all your advices
thank you

the last thing that i did before storing the robot,was the assumption that the 1025 value is an "allways on" value..so i changed the original value in the inputs outputs automatic-external with the 1025 to the "drives on" line and then the dot turned to green there,,and after,while half pushing the deadman all the squares in the hmi tab on the top of the screen were green ,except the i/o tab,the i/o was allways gray.i do not have the picture of the hmi tab turning green but i am 100 % positive that it was as i mention it
and something last...the 6d mouse is meant to be used as a mouse during the navigation on the screen or only ion jog mode? so that i can move the robot with it (alternativelly with the keys) because all my attempts to jog the robot in start up mode and while half holding the deadman many times brought an error that the 6d mouse had an illegal move and that i need to center it back...i turned many times the key switch to try and callibrate the mouse,,,the message was lifting allways.but i wonder if the mouse functions well or maybe if it is a problem that i will have to consider
...the cursor never moved while trying to use the mouse during my navigation inside the regular menu tabs...so..is the 6d mouse meant to be used as an actual pc mouse or it is only the touch function that is used while using the smartpad for actions?is the 6d mouse only meant for jogging the robot?
thank you again all of you for your time

the checksum error has left after i pressed a specific "activate now" button in the safety configuration troubleshoting wizard...i have taken pictures during the process and i think that i have also the last picture after the error was lifted in the safety configuration tab,i will post them so that youy can see the dates,

as for the deadman,when i was pressing it fully the motion while i was in the automatic-external display outputs,the "drives ready" dot turned green and then when i pressed the deadman halfway and kept it there the dot "operator safety closed" turned green for the time that i was holding it as for the automatic external display-inputs tab,motion enable was green "activate interface" was green but "drives on" was still white... the same in the hmi status bar under the red banner on top of the screen (drives were still white),but unfortunatelly i have not a picture to send for this place of the pendant and now i am away from the robots...sorobot-forum.com/attachment/28369/

hello again,thank you for your replies .unfortunatelly i am not in front of the robot at the moment and the robot is stored 300km from my home town,in the house of a friend who i visit occasionally.because my house does not have the space and also i dont live alone.
so.i just read your messages while travelling back home.
skyefire the safety checksum error has disapeared after i pressed activate (it allready stated that it is active,but i have posted a picture of a wizard that was allowing me to take such an action...i pressed it,i risked it and it turned out to eliminate this error...
