Running KUKA in Auto mode, cant find widget on the side that switches to auto

[charlottenn]

Hi robot experts,
sorry if this is a basic question but im running a kuka KR10 R900 at a school where no one knows how to use it and i have a question.
Ive run code on a kuka before supervised by someone, and im also following this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aTipKnSi8k

In the video theres this still where the kuka gets switched to auto mode to run the code in full, but in my controller i cant see that auto mode switch. i cant find anywhere where to find it.

see photos of what i mean

If anyone can let me know how i get to switch the kuka to auto mode to run to code in full without me having to hold down play button on the panel it would be great

Hello,

Karl captured the smartPad footage from OfficeLite (I guess), which is a virtual controller without any hardware attached. On the physical smartPad you will have to turn the key on top of the smartPad. Then you get a new window where you select AUT and then turn the key back.
If that key is missing, then someone does not want you to switch into AUT mode.
Via KUKA Xpert you can also access all the manuals where those basic handling aspects are well described.

Best,
Johannes

Actually, from your photo you can see that the key is inserted - where that robot/lock symbol is.
Best,
Johannes
