KUKA Robot Programming with KUKA.Sim, smartPAD and WorkVisual
Simulation in KUKA.Sim, programming on the smartPAD, WorkVisual configuration, fieldbus and PLC integration, safety, advanced KRL, backups and the new KRC5 micro with iiQKA.OS.
What you will learn
Build and program a cell in KUKA.Sim, define TCPs and bases, write and blend motion, transfer to a real robot, program on the smartPAD, configure I/O and fieldbuses in WorkVisual, start the robot from a PLC, configure safety, use interrupts, search, palletising and variables in KRL, manage external axes, back up and recover a controller, and get started with KRC5 micro and iiQKA.OS.
- Build and program a KUKA.Sim cell from the eCatalog to a running pick-and-place
- Define TCPs, bases and home positions and know what $TOOL and $BASE do
- Write PTP, LIN and spline motion with blending and CONT
- Program on the smartPAD and run in T1, AUTO and EXT
- Configure I/O and PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, OPC UA in WorkVisual
- Start the robot from a PLC through the Automatic External interface
- Configure X11, PROFIsafe, workspace and torque monitoring
- Use interrupts, search, palletising and external axes; back up and recover; start with KRC5 micro and iiQKA.OS

Stuck? Ask a practising engineer
A free course usually means a comment section and hope. This one does not. Every module has an Ask-your-trainer panel that reaches the same engineers who teach our paid programme: people who commission panels for a living, not moderators.
- Questions answered in the context of the module you are on
- The same engineers who teach the AEP programme
- Career tools, CV help and public job listings included
- Your progress and notes stay in your account for good

Common questions
Do I need a KUKA robot?
No. KUKA.Sim's trial covers the simulation modules; OfficeLite (where available) simulates the controller for the configuration modules; the pendant and safety modules are followed on screen.
Which controllers?
KRC4 with KSS 8.x for most modules, and a dedicated module on the KRC5 micro with iiQKA.OS.
Is the second source channel official?
No. It is an independent engineer's how-to series covering configuration topics the official channel does not. Cross-check anything safety-related against the KUKA manuals.
Is this a KUKA College certificate?
No. KUKA certifies through KUKA College. This course prepares you for that and for working in a KUKA cell.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a KUKA qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a KUKA credential and is never described as one.
