CONFIGURING THE SIGNAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS IN THE KUKA ROBOT CONTROLLER

- Hi Folks,
Check out how I configured the Beckoff EitherCat IO module withthe EK1100 and several input and output signal modules. I configure these to work with the KUKA Robot KRC4 robot controller.
This is pretty techinical with lots of boring details.

The trick to pulling the beckhoff modules off is to pull them by the orange tab. pulling on the tab releases the grab on the din rail. I pull the orange tab and wiggle the module up. this works even in the middle of a long row of modules.
Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching too.
Great video, very clear explanation. Really interesting topic.
Kuka is a German Company so they are used to over complicate things and procedures sometimes.
I was wrong Kuka is a Chinese Company now (since 2016 - initial takeover) based in Germany.
Thank you so much. :-)
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your helping. This video is owesome.
I have an Epson VT6L, I bought. Actually your videos kind of showed me that industrial robots are not as scary as they seem. I'm not an expert on it, but feel free to ping me if you guys get hung up on anything with it!
OK, will do. Thanks for the offer!
Thanks for the very detailed and instructive video. I have one question regarding the xml files and where to find them? I have a Wago Ethercat Fieldbus coupler connected to my Beckhoff EK1100 and on this Wago (750-354) I have a bunch of I/O modules connected to it. I have 8-channel DO and DI (750-430 & 750-530) but I can't find the xml driver files for thoose modules on the Wago website, it's nowhere to be found on any datasheet. Do you know where I can get them please?
Sorry, if the vendor does not offer it then I'm not sure where you can find it. Maybe go to online forums like the Robot forums to ask the community?
Thanks for the video, I’m working with KUKA agilus 2 kcr4 controller and I have a ethercat coupler with 16di and 16do so, I have only 1di not used and I wanna to add a push button on it. So I would like to know how to see which digital input from my field bus already mapped to robot to know for example if I want to add a pushbutton I should mapped this remaining di ? or it’s already mapped in the KUKA controller that s why I wanna to look which di coming from the coupler are already mapped ? Last question Normally when we should make a change on xml file ? Thank’s again for your video
Very nice explained
Thanks for watching, I hope it was useful
Is the beckoff module just plugged into the X44 on the KUKA? Then it needs a separate 24 V power supply? Is there any other connections it needs to be set up?
That is all you need. You do need to have your 24 V DC ground ( Black "-") wire to be tied to any other 24 V DC system's "-"/ ground/ 0V, so that can recognize the +24 V DC signals that pass between 2 dif 24 V systems. You may be able to use earth ground as a common reference for your DC power supplies reference "0 V" ..and configure the IOs with Work visual. Thanks for watching!
Thank s for your vidéo, so I have a question I have a Kuka agilus 2 krc4 controller connected to ethercat coupler 16di,16do so the robot already in production. So i see the control panel and I see that there’s 1di not used and I would like to install a pushbutton on it, so I would like to know how to see on work visual which input from my coupler are already mapped to the robot to know if I need to map the remaining di or it’s already made on the controller ? Thank s again for your video
You can test the input, put 24 volts on it ( if it is a + 24 v dc input device) the use your teach pendant, to look at inputs: display-inputs/outputs, select inputs. Then see if a green indicator lights when you trigger the 24v. Most likely all the available ports were mapped when the previous ones were
Thank’s for your reply, I will check that tomorrow so supposed it s already mapped how to know which di from the coupler is assigned to which di on the robot in order to work on it in the programming
@@user-jq4bz1io6r you will need to see the mapping, by downloading the configuration from the robot to work visual and see the map, or simpler way is to test with a 24V wire on the robot pin ( at your own risk since I don't know your robot). The x12 connector pins are labled in the plastic. My pins # 1 thru 16 are inputs for all the KRC4 compact controllers. Check out: robot-forum dot com. You need to sign up for free
The other servo drive is for the external axis which is the seventh axis.Great video though
How to know address of special bit (Operation Mode, Operation State, .....)
One thing I have noticed when working with different robots is that the software and hardware always seems like it's 10 years old, even if it's "New" This industry needs to rebuild everything with modern full frame CAN Bus and modern software design practises rather than just using band-aid solutions. I just think it's sad when a guy like me can build a robotic agnostic controller from scratch using Unity that look far more professional, easier and faster to use with more room for customization.
Yes, I agree, they also seem intentinally too complex at times. Thanks for watching!
