So if anyone can offer some advice on whether I lack configuration files/set-up in workvisual, whether i have to update officelite controller/KSS version or if I need new version of officelite altogether then I'd be very grateful. I only started working with robots 4 months ago and yet inherited a robot at a university that had not been commissioned and set-up right in 2 years... I've managed to set-up everything up, now I only need to complete the offline programming environment before an accurate position calibration and I'm done!
SkyeFire thanks for the idea, but $IS_OFFICE_LITE=TRUE.
Panicmode, I'm not sure I understand. I've read about 23 manuals, been through like 150 posts including the two things you say. None give specific instructions has to the update procedure for officelite so I followed the advice of one of the KUKA technical support staff. But as he said this is now beyond his knowledge and apparently there's only one guy in entire KUKA UK who's knows what to do...
But there must be people on this forum who have done the procedure countless times?

- So as before, my initial error is to do with drives, looking at the log there is a lack (and the wrong robot!) of configuration files in officelite's default state.
- I don't have enough knowledge to set it up in workvisual from scratch and when I try I am always left with errors or with no errors but the sim-pro robot doesn't move.
- I copied over the real controller project (which includes options ethernetKRL and Profinet because if I don't install them I get driver errors.)
- So after all of that I am left with an identical officelite to my real controller which works in workvisual. The one big issue is the robot doesn't move in sim-pro so I can't simulate my cell. The error is "lack of MAC address in KLI" (see attachment). I have tried to deactivate KLI but I have been unsuccessful, perhaps you can help with this?

SkyeFire you have said in another thread that you have run EKI in officelite so from your experience what can I do about this KLI error? Please help, I'm losing my mind...It's incredible that KUKA UK only has one person who knows how to fix this.

I did finish my first kuka project which was about packing and palletising cardboard and overall I'm quite surprised of how kuka works ( quite open and mainly DIY). I did not expect kuka to work like this to be honest but like every robotics brand, it has pros and cons. I still considered myself as new in kuka.
I did acquired kukaSimpro which is awesome and surprisingly not laggy at all compare to other simulation software. Yeah my PC is not made for those simulation:). I was able to make the simulation of the futur project.
you may get better responses if you state some details such as version number and what exactly seem to be the challenge. also what is the "kuka website" you mention? it is not like KUKA has only one domain and single webpage.
