1. General information

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of these articles is to help Universal Robots (UR) users and integrators to safely
perform service-related operations and troubleshooting.

Universal Robots industrial robots are designed using high quality components to ensure a long
lifetime. However, improper use of a robot or robot parts can potentially cause failures. If, for
example, the robot is overloaded, dropped during relocation, damaged by collision, or any other
improper usage, the warranty will be void.

Universal Robots recommends the user does not attempt repair, adjustment, or make other
interventions in the mechanical or electrical systems of the robot without first consulting an UR
certified service engineer. Any unauthorized intervention voids the warranty. Service-related
operations and troubleshooting should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Before performing service-related operations, stop the robot program and disconnect the main
power to any potentially dangerous tool on the robot or in the surroundings.

In the event of a defect, Universal Robots recommends ordering new parts from the Universal
Robot distributor where the robot was originally purchased. Alternatively, parts can be ordered
from the nearest distributor, details of which can be obtained from Universal Robots official
website at www.universal-robots.com

2. Files to download

In this first section, we are going to cover where to download the different files and how to install
PolyScope on a storage device.

2.1 Program to create a bootable storage device

In this example are we using a program called Rufus, to create our storage device with PolyScope
installed. Other programs can be used as well.

Rufus is a fast, small program that helps format and create bootable devices.

Follow instructions on website, on how to install Rufus.

Rufus is a third-party software and not associated with Universal Robots A/S

control box type.

3.2 Installation

First insert your storage device in your computer. If your device already contains a version of
PolyScope and you haven’t installed a program to access an EXT2/3/4 file system, your computer
will recognize that a device has been connected/mounted, but it won’t be accessible.

Note that some programs which can be used to access an EXT2/3/4 file system, can conflict with
Rufus, if both programs are using the device at the same time.

Open Rufus by clicking on the icon.

When Rufus is started up, it should look like the picture above.

If you look at the first line under device, you can choose which device you want to use. In this
example, our device been mounted as drive: I.

After you have chosen your storage device, go to the next section “boot selection” and press on the
SELECT button to the right.

Now locate the folder where you have saved your PolyScope image (that you downloaded before)
and open it.

In this example we are using a USB pen and therefor the image is for CB3.1.

After you have opened the file, press the START button in bottom.

deleted, press OK.

Rufus will then start writing the image, to the USB.

When the entire status bar is green and says ready, you can close the program and remove your
storage device.

You should now have a fully functional version of PolyScope installed on your storage device.
