KUKA 00-320-104 smartPAD-2 Bus Cable for KRC4 / KRC5

KUKA 00-320-104 — smartPAD-2 Bus Cable for KRC4 / KRC5 Controllers

The KUKA 00-320-104 is the smartPAD-2 bus cable (KUKA designation "Cable 10m BUS-smartPAD-2"). It is the shielded connecting cable between the smartPAD-2 teach pendant and the KUKA KRC4 / KRC5 controller, carrying operator-control, program and status data between the pendant and the control cabinet.

Specifications

Industrial Applications

• Connects the smartPAD-2 teach pendant to the KRC4 / KRC5 control cabinet on welding, handling, palletizing and general automation cells.
• Restores pendant communication after the original cable is cut, kinked or loses signal during production.
• Used during commissioning, changeover and fault-finding where the pendant must talk to the controller.
• Suitable for robot motion cycles where the cable is flexed repeatedly between pendant and cabinet.

Design Purpose

The smartPAD-2 bus cable is the only physical link that carries operator input and robot status between the smartPAD-2 and the KRC4 / KRC5 control cabinet. A sound, well-shielded cable keeps teaching, jogging and program editing live without dropouts. When the original cable is damaged, this replacement restores that link on the same controller generation, without changing the pendant or the control cabinet.

Common Failure Modes

• Intermittent or lost pendant communication, causing the smartPAD to drop out during operation.
• Damaged outer sheath from repeated flexing, crushing or contact with sharp edges.
• Bent or cracked connectors at the pendant or controller end, preventing a stable fit.
• Broken shielding, introducing signal noise and erratic pendant response.
• Internal conductor break after years of service in a moving cable run.
• Verify by part number 00-320-104 and the controller type — send us the cable label or robot nameplate and we confirm the correct length and connector before you order.
