KUKA robot KRC KRCteach counterpart

The PC for KRC2 is the control PC of the robot controller.

With its fitted components, the PC performs all the functions of the robot controller.

Windows user interface with visual display and input

Program creation, correction, archiving, and maintenance

Sequence control

Path planning

Control of the drive circuit

Monitoring

Parts of the ESC safety circuit

Communication with external periphery (other controllers, host computers, PCs, network

The KR C4 concept is revolutionary. For the first time, Robot and Motion Control

are seamlessly and interactively integrated with control processes for PLC, CNC

and Safety. With simple and flexible robot programming via inline forms and new

Spline motion programming, KR C4-based automation solutions are superior in

every way. Furthermore, the KR C4 features intelligent, flexible and scalable application potential.

High-end PLC support. The high-end SoftPLC option allows full access to the entire

controller I / O system and has a high runtime performance. It allows the I / O hand

ling of the robot, a complete robot cell or line of robots. In addition, variables such

as axis positions or velocities can be read and processed via function blocks.

More performance in CNC machining. The KUKA.CNC control option enables direct

programming and operation of KUKA robots via G-code. It can process even the

most complex programs from CAD / CAM systems and provides utmost accuracy

due to CNC path planning. This hugely simplifies the integration of robots into

an existing CNC environment. Thanks to the increasing number of robot-specific

functions in upstream CAD / CAM systems, the robot can play a direct role in

machining processes.

Fully integrated safety controller. The KR C4 seamlessly integrates the complete

safety controller into the control system without proprietary hardware. Safety

functions and safety-oriented communication are implemented via Ethernet-based

protocols. The safety concept uses multi-core technology and enables the dual

channel operation required for safety applications.
