Controlling UR Tool I/O-trevorb-08-28-2020

Hi all,

I have a UR10e that I have connected to RoboDK and can successfully run programs off of. I am currently exploring the ability to use RoboDK's GUI to do online programming and am running into an issue when controlling the I/Os.

If I want to set the I/Os on the controller, the GUI I/O button works fine (Digital Outs Named IO_0 thru IO_7 in RoboDK map correctly to the URs DO0 thru DO7 for example). However, to control the Tool I/O I am running into issues where I am not able to trigger them through this same command.

Looking into the polyscope commands, I discovered that "set_standard_digital_out" controls the controllers digital outputs while "set_tool_digital_out" set the tools digital outputs. My first thought was to just inject this code into the tree through the "insert code" instruction, but I found out through this thread that this is not a supported feature.

我忽略一些东西,喜欢也许只是收回吗g the IO by the wrong name? (UR documentation indicates it is called TO0, TO1, but I have also tried IO_8) Or is there no way to control the UR Tool I/Os through GUI commands?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am having the same issue with my robot, an ur3e and a tool that takes objects!!

Did you solve the problem?


RE: Controlling UR Tool I/O-Albert-09-04-2020

Tool IOs are mapped from ids 10 and up. For example, DO 1 on the tool should be DO 11 in RoboDK.

Also, make sure you modify the apiur.exe.ini file and set the CONTROLLER_VERSION variable to 5.
