ARCS2 software-only solution
A Remote Access version for global LAN/WAN communication
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

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
