KPS-600

The KPS‑600 is a central power supply unit designed by KUKA Roboter GmbH for KRC2 (C2) robot controller cabinets. It converts three‑phase AC mains into a DC 565–585 V intermediate circuit (for KSD1 servo drives) and 24 V DC / 27 V DC control voltage (for controller electronics, safety systems, and peripherals). Model numbers: KPS‑600/20‑ESC, KPS‑600/20‑REL

  • LED2 (Green) – Power OK
    • Off: No power / processor inactive

    • Flashing (1.5 Hz): Intermediate circuit <60 V

    • On: Intermediate circuit >60 V (ready for operation)


5. Safety Instructions

  • High voltage hazard: DC intermediate circuit up to 585 V.

    Wait at least 5 minutes after switching off the controller for capacitors to discharge before any wiring or maintenance.

  • Risk of electric shock: Only qualified personnel should perform installation or service.

  • Do not open, modify, or bypass internal components or safety circuits.

  • Ensure reliable protective earth (PE) connection for the cabinet, KPS, and all drives.

  • Keep ventilation slots free of dust and obstructions; inadequate cooling causes overheating.


6. Installation & Wiring

  1. Mount the KPS‑600 vertically in the designated KRC2 cabinet slot.

  2. Connect X1 to three‑phase mains (observe correct phase sequence and PE).

  3. Wire X2 (DC+/DC−) to the DC bus distribution rail (connects to all KSD1 drives).

  4. Connect X3 to the 24 V DC control distribution.

  5. Attach battery cables to X4 (BAT+/BAT−) and brake resistor to BRK+/BRK−.

  6. Connect servo bus IBS IN / OUT in daisy‑chain configuration with KSD1 drives.

  7. Tighten all power terminals to 2.5 Nm torque.


7. Operation

  • Power‑on: After mains switch ON, internal charging circuit energizes the DC bus.

  • Standby: Green LED2 ON → DC bus ready; red LED1 OFF → no faults.

  • Drive operation: KPS supplies stable DC 585 V to KSD1 drives during all robot motions.

  • Regenerative energy: During deceleration, excess energy is dissipated via the brake resistor (monitored by KPS).

  • Fault response: Red LED1 ON; DC bus disabled. Read fault code via KCP teach pendant or WorkVisual.


8. Maintenance

  • Daily: Check LED status, fan operation, and cable integrity.

  • Weekly: Clean cooling fan and air vents; remove dust buildup.

  • Monthly: Retighten X1, X2, and X4 power terminals (2.5 Nm).

  • Quarterly: Verify battery charging voltage and brake resistor resistance.

  • Annual: Inspect electrolytic capacitors (bulging), fan wear, and perform full diagnostic test via WorkVisual.
