Pick[+] Core connection overview: control box, robot arm and Server/Client PC

Hover over the LED, USB or Ethernet connection to see how it is wired.

Camera Connection¶

Pick[+] Core uses a USB camera that can be mounted on an LED case.

1. Camera (USB)¶

Connect the USB-C end of the cable to the camera.
Connect the USB-A end to a USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 3.2 port on the Server PC. These are the 10 Gbps ports of the PC.

WARNING

USB 2.0 is not supported: the camera will not connect.
USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 only enables the RGB sensor; depth functionality will be unavailable.
A USB 3.1 Gen 2 or higher port (minimum 10 Gbps) is required for both the RGB and depth sensors to work.

USB-C cable connected to the camera

2. LED case¶

Connect the pinned end of the LED cable to the connection slot on the camera case.
Connect the non-pinned end to the desired Digital Output rack:
- Red wire to the DO slot.
- White wire to the corresponding 0 V slot.

Robot Connection¶

In cases where the application will be controlled directly by the robot (instead of through a PLC):

Connect the Ethernet cable to the corresponding port on the Pick[+] Server PC.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the robot controller.
In your UR Teach Pendant, go to Settings → System → Network and configure network connection as follows:
- IP: 200.200.2.2
- Network mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 200.200.2.1 (Pick[+] server listens to robot on this IP)
