Configuration

Procedures for automatic or manual configuration of the control system may fail. Most often this is due to the inability to overwrite the $config.dat file. This file can only be edited by a user with advanced privileges (expert). An additional condition is to stop all interpreters: robot and submit. To stop the robot interpreter, simply cancel any selected program, or select no programs if the control system has just been loaded. To cancel the submit interpreter, use the HMI as shown in the figures below for KRC2 and KRC4 systems, respectively:

In case the $config.dat file is still locked after stopping all interpreters, you can completely stop the execution of the software part of the robot control system. In the KRC2 system, click on the rectangular area next to the status indicators (S I R) and click the Exit button:

In the KRC4 system, click on the green robot icon in the tray area and select Stop KRC:

After stopping the control software, the file C:\KRC\ROBOTER\KRC\R1\System\$config.dat can be modified using any text editor. Perform a reboot of the operating system to apply the changes.
