FT 300 Sensor: Universal Robots compatibility issue when using PROFINET or Ethernet/IP communication

Guillaume_Charron

Hello Pros,

Robotiq is aware of a compatibility issue between the FT Sensor URCap (UCS-1.3.0) and UR's Real-Time Data Exchange (RTDE) interface. 

 

Activating the Ethernet/IP or Profinet communication protocol while using UCS-1.3.0 will prevent the FT 300 Sensor's server from communicating with the robot program.

Robotiq recommends using another communication protocol in conjunction with the FT 300 Sensor.

Thank you for your collaboration.

I hope it's soon. We have clients with this configuration.

We already have a solution?

UR has added the new dedicated RTDE register in Polyscope 3.9.  The latest UR cap is then only compatible from 3.9.

We have a customer with PolyV3.9 and Urcaps 1.9.2 and Profinet.

Hi ,
The new Release Polyscope Version 3.11 say:

"Controller 

· It is now possible to subscribe to all RTDE 

output variables from single client using 

one recipe. 

Number of allowed RTDE clients 

increased by three. Up to 6 external 

clients can connect simultaneously"


Solve the problem for using Profinet or Ethernet IP with FT300?
