KPC stands for KUKA ControlPC (KUKA Control System Computer)

Function: KPC (KUKA PC) performs all functions of the robot control system through its various plug-in components.

1. Windows operating interface with visualization and input functions;

2. Generation, revision, archiving, and maintenance of programs;

3. Process control;

4. Trajectory planning;

5. Control of driving circuit;

6. Monitoring;

7. Components of electronic safety circuits;

8. Communicate with peripheral devices (other control systems, main computers, various PCs, networks).

 

The spare parts for the control system PC are as follows:

1. Motherboard with interface;

2. Central processing unit and main memory;

3. Hard drive;

4. MFC3;

5. KVGA;

6. DSE-IBS-C33;

7. RDW;

8. Battery;

9. Optional device components, such as fieldbus cards.

 

The central processing unit consists of two independent processor cores (Intel dual core).

In addition to running three additional controller related instance libraries on each processor core, there is also an independent secure instance library running.

Core 1: VxWorks, Windows, Safe A

Core 2: RC (Robot Control), Safe B
