Hello all,
We have 2 UR5 robots bought in a period of 6 months apart. on the First robot RTDE works fine and I use LabVIEW to start the communication with the following command:
“0x0 0x5 0x56 0x0 0x2“ **RTDE_REQUEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION
”**0x0 0x27 0x79 0x0 …. “ RTDE_CONTROL_PACKAGE_SETUP_OUTPUTS (protocol v. 2)
”0x0 0x3 0x83” RTDE_CONTROL_PACKAGE_START
Sent on TCP “IP Address“ and Port “30004“. everything works fine and data comes back also on port 30004.
But on the second UR5, the data package is much larger and comes back on port 30001 (looked on wireshark).
the difference in SW is as follows:
The old robot where RTDE works:
Universal Robots Software: 5.17.3 Build Date: August 12 2024 VERSIONS à Baseline: 12.8.850 Controller: 68.12.20
The new robot where RTDE does not work:
Universal Robots Software: 5.20.0 Build Date: November 26 2024 VERSIONS à Baseline: 12.11.638 Controller: 70.10.13
My question is if something has changed in the software which causes this ?
I also tried to find Software Version 5.17.3 to install the same software on the second UR5. but the website looks to be unavailable :
