How to Set Your Robot's Date and Time

Set your Universal Robots cobot's clock so the robot can connect to Beacon. Choose the steps for your robot's operating system — PolyScope 5 or PolyScope X.

Written by Doug Ayers

This task has different steps depending on your robot's operating system.

Your robot needs the correct date and time to connect to Beacon. If the clock is wrong, your robot may appear offline in the Beacon app. You may not be able to teach or play parts. The clock can drift after a factory reset or a long power-off.

When your robot is connected to the internet, Beacon sets the date and time automatically.
