Remote Access

The ARCS2 remote access solution provides you with the ability to troubleshoot, program, or even control the Universal Robots from anywhere and from any device

You obtain remote access to your local (LAN) Universal Robots by using VNC (or SSH). Most standard VNC clients will work, e.g. the commercially free TightVNC

If the need arises to remote access a global (WAN) Universal Robots, then this is also possible by using a VPN connection. OpenVPN is an open-source VPN client capable of this, but any VPN client can be used

 

Benefits

Minimize production downtime by optimizing support and availability:
- Save money and time

Easy to download and install with a user friendly and intuitive URCap

High security solution compliant with the requirements of Universal Robots and Industry 4.0:
- No global internet required

Other Security Benefits

VNC is SSH Tunnel secure
VNC is forced to use SSH Tunnel and cannot be connected to using the “normal” path

Disable/Enable SSH
The user can disable or enable the SSH. Enabled by default

Stack light enabled
If enabled, the user can connect a light to the robot and this will then light up when a VNC connection is establish and turn off when the connection is terminated

Single Point of Control
This is a security requirement from Universal Robots. When a connection is established the touch screen on the teach pendant is disabled. This is to avoid sending different control signals to the robot simultaneously. Touch is disabled when VNC is connected
