KUKA 00-128-456 KVGA 2.0 Graphics Interface Board

Product Overview

The KUKA 00-128-456 is a specialized KVGA 2.0 graphics interface board engineered by KUKA Robotics as an integral component for the KRC2 ed05 robot controller series. This graphics card serves as the critical link between the controller's industrial PC and the user interface, converting system graphics data into standard VGA signals for display on teach pendants and external monitors. The KUKA 00-128-456 is designed to deliver stable, high-resolution visual output essential for robot programming, real-time monitoring, and system diagnostics. As a PCI-format add-in card, the KUKA 00-128-456 plugs directly into the controller's backplane, drawing power from the 5V PCI bus without requiring external power connections. The board supports resolutions up to 1280 × 1024 at 60Hz with 24-bit true color depth, providing clear and detailed visualization of the KUKA Robot Language (KRL) programming environment, 3D robotic models, and HMI interfaces. The KUKA 00-128-456 implements the proprietary KVGA 2.0 graphics protocol, ensuring optimized compatibility with the KRC2 ed05 operating system and eliminating the driver compatibility issues common with generic graphics cards. While this module has been discontinued by KUKA, it remains a vital replacement component for maintaining existing KRC2-based automation systems where controller upgrades are not yet feasible.

Main Features and Advantages

Seamless Controller Integration: The KUKA 00-128-456 is purpose-built for the KRC2 ed05 controller architecture, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility without the configuration challenges associated with third-party graphics solutions. Unlike generic graphics cards that may require extensive driver modifications, the KUKA 00-128-456 is immediately recognized by the KRC2 operating system, reducing installation time and eliminating compatibility risks.

KVGA 2.0 Protocol Support: The KUKA 00-128-456 implements the proprietary KVGA 2.0 graphics standard, optimized specifically for KUKA’s robotics interface requirements. This ensures precise rendering of the KRL programming interface, real-time robot position displays, and diagnostic screens with the clarity and responsiveness demanded by industrial operators.

Reliable Industrial Design: Engineered for continuous operation in factory environments, the KUKA 00-128-456 operates reliably across a temperature range of 0°C to 55°C and can withstand humidity up to 95% without condensation . The passive cooling design eliminates moving parts that could fail, while the robust PCB construction resists vibration and shock common in manufacturing settings.

High-Resolution Output: Supporting resolutions up to 1280 × 1024 with 24-bit color depth, the KUKA 00-128-456 delivers detailed visualization of robotic work cells, enabling operators to monitor complex motions and position data with exceptional clarity . The dual-port design provides flexibility for connecting both the teach pendant and an external monitor simultaneously .

Space-Efficient Form Factor: The KUKA 00-128-456 follows standard PCI board dimensions, fitting compactly within the controller chassis without obstructing airflow or occupying excessive space. This efficient design is particularly valuable in control cabinets where space is at a premium.
