Project Overview � Implementation of a program that retrieves a log file that from a UR 10 robot cell, and displays the information obtained in an organized manner. � The errors range from physical to software related and each one is tied to a unique error code. � The retrieval program will then store the codes on a server and output them to a user interface using a separate program.
Project Motivation The problem: �Robot faults with no ability to read log file �Need for fast, effective way to determine fault �Will decrease the robots downtime and increase productivity # 2. 9: Fault Data Retriever

Results �Retrieval program successfully collects log file via ethernet connection. �Log file is stored onto server via schedule set by administrator. �Fault information correctly displayed by the program Support Log Reader. # 2. 9: Fault Data Retriever
Results # 2. 9: Fault Data Retriever
Future Work � A user interface could be created with real time statuses of the robots but would require an additional 4 -6 months of research and design. �Future ability to retrieve fault codes from UR 10 via the PLC will be possible, but no estimate given by Rockwell Automation Inc.
