Fieldbus Monitor
The Fieldbus Monitor is a diagnostic tool for the fieldbus interface of the Universal Robot during setup phase and later in production. It is the ideal tool for testing communication with an external PLC and detecting configuration problems at an early stage.Each fieldbus register data type is clearly displayed in its own tab in which the inputs and outputs can be browsed separately.By selecting an output and pressing the value button, each output can be flexibly assigned to a test value. In production, it is super helpful to quickly identify missing signals or other problems with the fieldbus communicationto sustainably reduce downtime.KPI Software strives to further improve your experience with the Universal Robot, for this we have developed various other URCapssuch as the Advanced Palletizing and VNC Server.

Overview
The Fieldbus Monitor connects to the RTDE interface of the robot and cyclically reads the status of the fieldbus registers.
After the URCap is installed, the Fieldbus Monitor can be found in the installation tab in the URCap section. Each register data type
has its own tab. I/O names that have not been defined are grayed out so that the signals used in the program can be recognized easily.
For testing purposes, all outputs can be selected and set to a desired value with the value button. In order to conserve resources,
the RTDE connection is only active when the Fieldbus Monitor is open; in addition, the interface is only updated when a status change has occurred.
