We recently purchased a UR3 robot and Kolver Pluto10CA/TA driver along with the EDU2AE/TOP/TA control box. We have minimal experience in robotics and are trying to understand how to connect the control box to the robot.
What is it you need to do? The UR3 robot comes with a control unit that has lots of digital inputs and outputs, as well as some analog inputs and outputs.

Our maintenance team have connected the Kolver control unit to the UR Control unit, but we now need to try and get them working together....we are unsure of how to programme this.

Configuring should be easy, you’re almost there
Check out this manual, pages 18-23, and you will see that a lot of those inputs and outputs correspond directly to the selections that you make on the installation tab for screw driving.
We are just updating the robot, but the most up to date version available for the UR5 (CB Series) is 3.10.1??
How do we download the screw driving URCaps? Can't find anything referring to a download.
Basically having briefly read through the screw driver controller manual you will need to hook up a couple of the IO as described on the pages I pointed out in the previous post. You will need to hook up inputs for the OK and Error signal and then output for selecting the program, turning the driver on and direction at a minimum. I believe you also have to define a program on the controller before you can use the screwdriver. You’re able to create 8 unique programs with that controller.
Have you created a program yet on the screwdriver controller? Also, which output are you connecting to on the screwdriver when you say you set the signal high but it didn’t seem to receive it?
Long story short, I would definitely follow your advice by combing through the screwdriver controller manual thoroughly. Wish I had more specific help!
