Hey, everybody!
I have recently found that the kuka Program Download in the OLP module is not working properly, the KUKA program exported from VC is not working properly for the robot arm, and the controller keeps reporting errors. The problem I have found so far is that the SRC file does not generate the “DEF ProgramName()” header if the program is in main, whereas the plugin version of OLP does, and the same problem occurs in the DAT file. The good news is that after adding it, it can be read normally, but only for basic operations like PTP/LIN.
The next thing that’s always puzzled me is the welding part of the OLP, I’ve found that the welding program exported from VC doesn’t work no matter how I change it (I have to admit that I’m having problems with it too, I’m not really good at kuka programming so I’m not really sure what’s wrong with it) but I’ve been searching within the forums and it seems that no one else has raised the issue so that makes me wonder if this a problem with my personal operation?
So, I need the help of someone who has performed a complete, KUKA program export with welding instructions, and of course, I look forward to anyone’s reply!
Attached is my KSS 8.7.8 dependency package situation:
Second edit:
I’ve tentatively identified the possible problem point, the weld program exported from officelite uses stArcDat_T in dat, while the weld program exported from VC uses ATBg_Start_T (and I’ve also seen commands that look like ATBg_Weld_T, so they may not correspond here), that’s why I can’t get it to import properly.
I searched Google with the keyword “ATBg_Start_T” and only found one link to a post in another technical forum where this writeup was mentioned, but I couldn’t find a more complete explanation.
This looks like a difference between the old and new dependency packages? This change seems to have occurred during the big version update at 8.5 for Kuka that I know of.
