URControl --version command returns 0.0.0.0

Hello,

to retrieve the version of PolyScope in URSim or with the real robot, one can use the terminal command

ursim-current/URControl --version

Since PolyScope 5.14 this command only returns 0.0.0.0 now, instead of the correct version.
The equivalent CB-Series PolyScope versions 3.14 and 3.15 still return the correct version number. Is this on purpose or a bug?

Thank you very much

Since 5.14 version is not embedded in controller binary. It’s still available on network interfaces: RTDE, Modbus, Profinet, Ethernet/IP.

Thank you very much for the quick response. So this is not a bug. I was a bit confused, because I also noticed the new URControl argument “marketing-version” that is also expecting an argument.

Going to use the Dashboard server instead now to retrieve the PolyScope version remotely.
