TP7 Operation and Troubleshooting

The TP7 uses a different start-up process than previous Teach Pendants from Universal Robots.

The TP7 follows its own start-up procedure, which is independent of the CB7 Core.

Under normal operating conditions, you see a smooth and fast start-up process, and PolyScope X appears on the screen.

The TP7 starts first and then establishes a connection to the CB7 Core and the robot arm. Then it may initiate an update procedure and continue with standard start-up.

Any deviation from this triggers the following conditions:

• Disconnected (Unresponsive)

• Disconnected (Update error)

• Disconnected (Network error)

• Disconnected (Unspecified error)

The USB port on the TP7 can only be used for attaching a mouse or keyboard.

It can not be used for updating image or software from a USB drive.

The TP7 goes through the following steps during a normal start-up procedure:

1. Power on.

2. System start up.

3. Establish connection to the CB7 and the robot arm.

4. System on.

The TP7 goes through the following steps during a normal start-up procedure, including system update:

1. Power on.

2. System start up.

3. Establish connection to the CB7 and the robot arm.

4. Updating system.

5. Update success.

6. System on.

If the connection between CB7 Core and the TP7 is unresponsive, it retries to establish a connection to the CB7 Core.
If it cannot establish a connection, restart.
