3.1.3.1 Criteria for using CB3 spareParts on CB2 robot and controller
Important
Polyscope software must be minimum 1.8.23117
Do not attempt to load sparePart revision firmware on a CB2 joint. This will result in the joint no
longer working and need to be re-coded by Universal Robots in Denmark.
Only the CB3 sparePart parts listed on previous page can be used

3.1.3.2 How to find software version on PolyScope
Press the About button on the main Polyscope page and a popup will show the software version.
Information on how to update the Polyscope software can be found in the chapter 4.

3.3.1.3 How to tell the difference between a CB2 and CB3 sparePart joint
It is very important to select the correct revision for each joint but also, if not more important, correct revision
for CB2 joints and CB3 sparePart.
Below two photos shows the difference.
CB2 has green coloured PCB CB3 sparePart has blue coloured PCB

3.1.3.4 How to select the correct revision for the joint
Purpose of this guide:

When replacing a CB2 joint with a CB3 sparePart joint, it is necessary to select the correct revision so that it
matches the hardware configuration.
On the previous pages its shown how to find the hardware revision.
1. Navigate to the Low Level Control section in Expert mode see below how.
Drag the finger or pointer across the logo from left to right
2. Enter password lightbot and press OK

3.2 Controller
3.2.1 Handling ESD-sensitive parts
To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the usual
precautions, such as turning off power before removing logic cards:
Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a special "ESD bag") until the part is
ready to be installed.
Make the least-possible body movements to prevent an increase of static electricity from clothing
fibers, carpets, and furniture.
Put the ESD wrist strap on your wrist. Connect the wrist band to the system ground point .
This discharges any static electricity in your body to ground.
Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edges; do not touch its pins. If a pluggable module is being removed,
then use the correct tool.
Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on insulating or on a metal table; if the ESD-sensitive part needs to be put
down for any reason, then first put it into its special bag.
Machine covers and metal tables are electrical grounds. They increase the risk of damage
because they make a discharge path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large metal
objects can be discharge paths without being grounded.)
Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel and do not put
unprotected ESD-sensitive parts on a table.
If possible, keep all ESD-sensitive parts in a grounded metal cabinet (case).
Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold-weather heating is used,
because low humidity increases static electricity

5.2 Normal startup procedure on a CB2 UR10
1. When you only have the power plug connected and the robot is not turned on the 12 V LED is
on.(On the Master board)
2. When you press the power on button on the TP the power up sequence starts
3. In this sequence The 48 V LED indicator and the "R" LED indicator is on in about 1 second (Master
board) it is for testing if the 48V power supply is working and to check if the robot arm is
connected.
If the 48V LED indicator is off all the time in the start up sequence you should measure the voltage.
1. Measure the 48V on the Master board where the 48V comes from the Current distributor. And check
this 1 second pulse.
1.1. Voltage on the Master board. It should be the master board that is defect
1.2. No voltage on the Master board 48V then measure the output 48V on the power supply.
1.3. No voltage on the 48 V Power supply output. Check the 230 V input to the 48V power supply. It is
either the Power supply that is defect or the 240 V.
1.4. Voltage on the Output of the 48V Power supply. Then measure on both sides of the current
distributor. It should be the Current distributor that is defect.
