Been talking to Dwayne at KC Robotics about trying to get the drives powered up. Got email instructions from him (actually from KC’s Kuka guy) as follows:
Navigate to C:KRC\Roboter\Init
Open file IOSYS.INI
It will look something like this:
;========================================================== ; IOSYS.INI - Configuration file for the IO-System ;========================================================== ; For configuration help go to the end of this file. ;---------------------------------------------------------- ; ATTENTION !!!! Since V5.0 Build13 we have removed the DeviceNet ; driver "dndrv.o". Now you have to use the driver ; "dn2drv.o" and the appropriate syntax (form 2) [CONFIG] VERSION=2.00 [DRIVERS] ;CNKE2=21,cnke2CPInit,cnke2drv.o ;DNSC6=20,dnsc6Init,dnsc6drv.o ;DNSC5=19,dnsc5Init,dnsc5drv.o ;DNSC4=18,dnsc4Init,dnsc4drv.o ;DNSC3=17,dnsc3Init,dnsc3drv.o ;CNKE1=16,cnke1CPInit,cnke1drv.o ;INTERBUSPCI=15,ibsCPPciInit,ibpcidrv.o ;DSEIO=14,dseIoInit,dseiodrv.o ;DNSC2=13,dnsc2Init,dnsc2drv.o ;DNSC1=12,dnsc1Init,dnsc1drv.o ;PBMASL=11,pbmsInit,pfbmsdrv.o DEVNET=2,dnInit,dn2drv.o ;INTERBUS=1,ibusInit,ibusdrv.o ;MFC=0,mfcEntry,mfcdrv.o
To disable the LPDN driver. Make sure there is a semi-colon before each DNSC line.
Leaned later that I was supposed to do this through Windows Explorer, but managed to open IOSYS.INI through the controller interface (Configure -> I/O Driver -> Edit Config.). It didn’t quite look like the above, but it did have a few DNSC lines that weren’t commented out.
Restarted the controller and now there is only one message left:
200 Drives contactor off.
That’s progress, but still can’t jog it.
