Is a UR installation file something that is able to be exported/generated via the RoboDK system?  I see a TCP set line in the .urp, but is there any post processor that also creates a full installation file?

With RoboDK you can obtain a script program file and/or a URP file that you can load on your robot. More information here:

What do you mean by a UR installation file?

[Randy C]

In the UR system all of the system configuration data is stored in what is termed an "Installation" file.  Essentially the installation file houses the overall configuration info for the program, TCPs, robot orientation info, I/O designators, safety system info, UR cap info.....

The installation file can be reused by multiple programs so if you are setting up multiple systems that info is replicated through the installation file.

From what I have seen so far in RoboDK most of the info is handled in lines of code as needed in the program or the script code.

Hello,

I know this thread is over three years old but i am also wondering the same thing. has there been any changes or any updates for this?

Basically i am looking to have all my points based off a reference frame in RoboDK, and then when i generate code for a UR system, and upload it to the robot, i want to be able to update this reference in the system and have all the points move to this new reference.

Like Randy C explained, in a UR system there is the program file which has way points and move instructions. However when it comes to reference features, those are saved in the installation of the system, the installation has all the information of the physical system including: TCP, payload, direction of gravity etc.

The installation is also where planes get defined and therefore where reference features would be created. From comparing the generated code and the points within to the points that i created in RoboDK, they appear to be joining the values of the reference frame to each point and generating a reference point of the base of the Robot. So all points would get referenced to the base.

I asked for something similar in a different thread but in relation to the reference frame:

I'll get back to you on the other thread shortly.
