Subject: Can't reach Kanalog

Hi Tom,

 

I’ve got a KFLOP + Kanalog combination and in the KMotion user interface, the Kanalog tab is missing. I also cannot open the screen with analog voltages. I suspect there might be a hardware issue, but before I start ordering new hardware I need to know what things I can do to make sure that SW is not the issue.

I’ve upgraded the firmware, “DSP_Kmotion.out”, when I execute the version command, I read back that the version is 4.33, so the upgrade went successful.

 

For me, it is unclear if I also need to flash the “DSPKFLOP.out” file, what is the difference between these *.out files?

Does the Kanalog board also contain firmware that needs an update?

 

If the hardware is the issue, I have the opportunity to swap a board (I have access to multiple Kmotion machines), to test and pinpoint if the hardware error lies in the Kflop or the kanalog board. My reasoning is that if I swap the Klop with one from a working setup and everything is ok, the Kanalog should be ok and the Kflop in the malfunctioning machine needs to be replaced. However, if I swap it and it still does not work, I do not know if it’s just the Kanalog or the Kflop and Kanalog of the malfunctioning machine that need to be replaced. I’d rather not start swapping Kanalog boards, since a lot of I/O is wired, which makes swapping troublesome.

 

Regards,

 

Mike

Hi Mike,

On the Options Menu do you have Kanalog checked?

Ok, now I feel like a complete idiot, that indeed was the problem. I somehow forgot to check the option and did not think of it.
Thanks Tom and sorry for the stupid question...
