This article is for robots running PolyScope 5. If your robot runs PolyScope X, see How to Install the Beacon URCap (PolyScope X).
For security, never use a USB drive or files from untrusted sources. If in doubt, contact your IT department or Beacon Support.
The Beacon URCap lets you program your robot from a supported device without needing teach-pendant programming knowledge. You'll download the URCap to a USB drive, then install it on the teach pendant.
Already have a Beacon URCap installed? Uninstall the old version before you install this one.
Before You Start
Have a computer to download the URCap file.
Have a USB drive to transfer the file to the robot.
Step 1: Download the URCap
On a computer, download the Beacon URCap file.
Copy the file to your USB drive.
Make sure no other files are on the USB drive.
Step 2: Install on the Teach Pendant
Insert the USB drive into the port at the top of your robot's teach pendant.
On the teach pendant, open the menu.
Tap Settings.
Tap System.
Tap URCaps.
Tap the plus icon (+) to add a URCap.
Tap your USB drive in the file list (it may be named usbdisk).
Select the Beacon URCap file, then tap Open.
Tap Restart when prompted.
How to Verify
After the teach pendant restarts, Beacon should appear under Settings > System > URCaps in the Active URCaps list.
If you see a safety fault after the restart, reapply Beacon's safety settings. See Troubleshooting C203A0 Safety Settings Mismatch (PolyScope 5).
