System Compatibility
| KUKA Controller | Compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| KRC2 (ed05 / ed2005) | ✅ Confirmed | Standard fit |
| KRC4 | ✅ Confirmed | Verify hardware revision |
| KRC4 compact | ⚠️ Conditional | Confirm PCB revision with Konmask |
| KRC4 smallsize | ⚠️ Conditional | Requires engineering review |
| KRC5 | ❌ Not compatible | Different safety architecture |
Selection Guide
Use the following decision flow to select the correct safety board for your KUKA robot system:
- Identify your controller model — Check the KRC cabinet label for model and serial number.
- Record the existing board part number — Located on the PCB silkscreen or KUKA service documentation.
- Check firmware revision — Required firmware version is listed in the KUKA KSS software version notes.
- Confirm connector type — Compare X11 / X13 safety connector pinout against your wiring diagram.
- Choose supply condition — New OEM for critical production lines; tested refurbished for backup/spare inventory.
- Contact Konmask — Provide controller serial number for final cross-reference confirmation.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a refurbished 00-138-379 in a safety-critical application?
A: Yes, provided the board has passed full safety circuit testing and you have received the test report. Konmask provides documentation for all refurbished safety boards.
Q: Is the 00-138-379 compatible with KRC5 controllers?
A: No. KRC5 uses a fundamentally different safety architecture. Please contact Konmask for the correct KRC5 safety board part number.
Q: Do I need to re-validate my safety system after replacing this board?
A: When replacing with an identical OEM part number and firmware revision, re-validation is typically not required. Consult your safety engineer and KUKA service documentation for your specific installation.
Q: What is the lead time for new OEM stock?
A: In-stock items ship within 3–5 business days. Out-of-stock OEM orders typically require 2–4 weeks. Contact Konmask for real-time availability.
Q: Can Konmask provide a functional equivalent to reduce cost?
A: Yes. Konmask can recommend validated third-party equivalents for non-safety-critical auxiliary circuits. For primary safety channels, OEM is strongly recommended.
