Enabling OPC UA for Universal RobotsRelease the Industry 4.0 potential of your UR robot, with the OPC UA Client/Server URCap – with OPC UA Robotics Companion Specification. It enables the UR line of robots to connect to other OPC UA compatible devices and software using the world's most popular standards-based data connectivity method. Without any additional hardware. The installation and configuration are simple. It is fully customizable to your needs and can be configured in both server and client mode. The OPC UA Client/Server fully complies with the OPC UA protocol and has all the necessary and required security features. The URCap is also compatible with the VDMA and OPC Foundation’s OPC UA Information Model for Robots.
- The implementation on application level can act as both Server and Client, you can configure it based on your requirements.
- It translates data in the UR robot program into OPC UA data and sends it over the network to the desired OPC UA Server/Client.
- It can receive data over the network from other OPC UA Servers/Clients and translate it into variables in the UR robot.
- It can receive and interpret multiple data points from different sources.
- Objects and variables of the OPC Robotics Information Model are automatically published when the server is enabled. No additional configuration is required.
