LiftStand and UR controller with an Ethernet cable, see arrow 1 on Figure 3.2. Thus, the LiftStand is installed and ready for operation. The next step is the installation and setup of the LiftStand URCap.
Page 19: Operation - Software
This chapter will guide the user through all the necessary steps to be able to set up the corresponding UR Cap. The setup includes installation of Cap, connection between the robot and the LiftStand and maximum motion speed setting. When the setup is complete, the user can use the LiftStand through the corresponding program node.
Page 20: Configuring Ur Cap
To complete the installation Press "restart". Once UR Cap is successfully installed it must be configured. 5.1.2 Configuring UR Cap Before the LiftStand’s UR Cap can be used in a program, it must be configured.

Page 22: Use
When the IP address is configured, it is possible to set the maximum speed in the "maximum velocity [mm/s]" field. At every run of the LiftStand it will try to reach the set speed. If you enter a value that is higher than possible, the window will write what the allowed range is and set the value closest to the entered.
Page 23: Control Of The Liftstand At Fixed Values
"Enter height [mm]:". If you want to test the height before running the program, press the "Go to Here" button, and the LiftStand will run to the set value immediately. An example of a program where the LiftStand is controlled with fixed values can be seen in Figure 5.6.
