How to start vision server and gripper automatically?

ur5user

Hello,
I got a program which starts by itself if I turn on my robot.
The problem is I have to start the vision server and gripper by hand.
Can somebody tell me how to fix this? I want to turn on the robot and start the program by pushing a button.

Best regards

@ur5user concerning the gripper, you can use the script command rq_activate_and_wait() in the Before Start section of you program. For the vision server start-up, I just opened up a support ticket and will follow up with you through emails.

I have been testing the Vision Server problem and it also happens when I turn ON the UR controller. We look forward to hearing from you. @Annick_Mottard

@Annick_Mottard thanks the script code works fine, the problem with the vision server comes accidently. So when i turn on my UR it works and maybe at the next time it doesn´t.

@ur5user add the script line rq_reset() before your activate and it will activate all the time.

My vision server still don´t initialize, after i start the program there comes the message "Unable to initialize Vision Server. Go to installation Tab> Camera Dashboard for more information.. Error code :[UC-6] "   if I go to the dashboard I have to start the server by hand.

@ur5user we are currently working on the issue concerning the vision system that does not start by itself upon robot start-up. We will discuss through emails to get more information on your setup.

I have the same issue with error code [UC-6]  and [UC-13], [VS-8 \] at one of our UR robots with camera. But when I changed the camera and gripper with another. I didn't have any errors. I don't know what is the cause.  Now the dismounted camera and gripper I mounted on another UR, to see if the error'll appear again.

So, it's the same think even if I have instaled on another UR. I have this type of error only with one camera, with the other cameras I don't have errors.

@Micusan someone will contact you to troubleshoot this.
