Troubleshooting

6.5.1

“The Robot has no IP address”

•

The quick guide provides a possible solution to this problem.

•

This guide has more than one page. Change pages with the Prev. page and
Next page buttons.

•

As shown in the example, the UR Robot has no IP address (“N/A” is shown).
This indicates an error in the Network Configuration of the UR robot.

This error can happen, when the Network Configuration of the UR Robot has not
been finished. The Network Configuration might not be finished when you select
the

OnRobot Setup

page just after turning on the robot or when the Network

Configuration has just been modified and the

OnRobot Setup

page is selected

within 60 seconds.

In these cases, wait 60 seconds and use the

Discover Devices

function. If the

operation of

Discovering Devices

is successful, move on to the next steps as

described in

Example Setup

If the error is still present after pressing the

Discover Devices

button, the

following screen is shown:
