External Port Information

Overall External Port Panel

There are two panel layouts — version 1 and version 2 — and which one your robot has depends on the robot. The quickest way to tell them apart is the pair of USB-C ports on the right edge: version 1 labels them VISION / MOTION, version 2 labels them U-PC / R-PC. They are the same two ports — version 2 names the PC each one reaches instead of its role.

NOTE

The panel layout can differ between versions. Please contact us if you are unsure which one your robot has.
