KUKA Robot KRC0066 - Wrong amplifier

Wrong amplifier

A slave axis is configured with a drive module that does not match the drive module assigned to its master axis. This mismatch prevents proper synchronization and coordinated motion between coupled axes, causing the system to reject the configuration.

Common Causes

  • Incorrect drive module selection during axis coupling configuration in WorkVisual
  • Manual editing of robot configuration files with mismatched amplifier assignments
  • Hardware replacement of a drive module without updating the corresponding slave axis configuration
  • Copy-paste error when duplicating axis configurations for redundant or coupled systems
  • Firmware update that changed drive module identification without reconfiguring axis pairs

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Verify the master axis drive module type and serial number from the teach pendant diagnostics screen
  2. 2Check the slave axis configuration in WorkVisual to confirm its assigned drive module matches the master
  3. 3Review the robot configuration XML files to identify any drive module mismatch between coupled axes
  4. 4Power cycle the robot controller and rescan hardware to ensure accurate drive module detection
  5. 5Reconfigure the slave axis coupling in WorkVisual with the correct matching drive module
  6. 6Download the updated configuration to the KRC4 controller and perform a warm restart to apply changes
