1.3. Overview
The Asycube Control URCap is the Universal Robots plugin dedicated to control Asycube
platforms through UR robots.
The Asycube Control URCap provides the following functionalities:
•Network configuration and control of an Asycube platform.
•Standard control of the connected Asycube platform: vibration set selection, standard
vibration activation, backlight toggling.
•Vibration, vibration set, sequence and backlight control in standard UR programs.
•Warning & alarm management.
•2 modes: 1 for basic uses and 1 for more advanced users.
•User interface in English.
Please note that the URCap is dedicated to control one Asycube at a time. The following
platforms are compatible with the URCap: Asycube 50, Asycube 80, Asycube 240 & Asycube
530.

For CB-Series:
•Universal Robots Software version: 3.9 or greater
•UR3, UR5, UR10
•CB3.0, CB3.1
For e-Series:

1.5. General notice
The use of the URCap does not prevent the use of the HMI software to define and design the
different vibrations, vibration set & sequences. The user can install this software with the
dedicated installer, provided with the Asycube platforms. The installation procedure is
described in the Human-Machine Interface user guide, provided with the Asycube.
This user guide assumes that the user is familiar with Asycube platforms and knows how to
handle them, as it refers to some concepts implemented by it.
Nevertheless, this guide gives a brief overview of these concepts as well as the standard
functionalities implemented by the HMI software in a dedicated annex. However, it does not
thoroughly explain how to configure it to handle specific products in an industrial context. To
do so, the user can refer to the Asycube User guide & the Asycube Programming guide,
which explains more deeply respectively the different concepts implemented by an Asycube
platform and how to communicate with it, as well as defining the message protocols to do so.
This guide refers as well to the Human-Machine Interface user guide, provided with the
platforms.
This user guide assumes as well that the user is familiar with UR robots and knows how to
use and program them.

2. Asycube Control URCap installation and
configuration
This section describes how to install and enable the Asycube Control URCap on the UR robot
and how to configure the Asycube and robot network settings, to connect the 2 devices
together and to allow the communications in between.
2.1. Installation
To install the URCap on the UR robot, the user must copy the URCap file, called Asyril-
AsycubeCtrl-[version].urcap on a USB key and plug it to one of the USB ports of the robot:
•The robot must be switched on. It is not necessary to initialize it.
•In the main menu, click on Setup Robot. Then, in the Setup Robot menu, click on
URCaps.
•In the URCaps menu, click on the button to add the URCap.
•In the newly displayed window, navigate across the different folders of the robot and
look for your USB key content. Select the URCap file.
•Check that the URCap installation status is all right & restart the robot.

2.2. Enabling the URCap
The main menu of the URCap, at the Installation tab level, includes a checkbox, Enable
URCap, allowing to enable or disable the URCap. Whether the URCap is enabled or not, the
robot must be restarted. If not, the ehaviour of the URCap cannot be predicted.
Figure 2-2 Enabling & disabling the URCap
2.3. Network configuration
The Asycube platforms and the UR robot must have static IP addresses and must be in the
same network range. It means that, for instance, if the robot has an IP address such as
192.168.100.200, with a subnet mask such as 255.255.255.0, the Asycube platform
connected to the same network must have an IP address such as 192.168.100.[anything
between 0 and 255, excluding 200], with a subnet mask such as 255.255.255.0.
The default IP address of a new Asycube platform is 192.168.127.254 with the subnet mask
255.255.255.0 (port 4001).
2.3.1. Asycube network settings
To connect the HMI software to the Asycube platform for the first time:
•Start the HMI software & click on configuration (#1).
•Select ehavio as a new product (#2), set the name and the type of the platform
(#3), and set the ip address, the subnet mask and the tcp port of the platform (#4).
•Click on the apply configuration button to connect the platform (#5). The platform is
ready.
