Robot controller will not go on-line. (USB Pro Controller Silver/Black)

This article is pertaining to ER-9, ER-14 and Yaskawa Robots with Linear Slide Base used in FMS / CIM and driven by the USB Pro Controller. 


The USB Pro Controller may fail to go on-line using Scorbase Pro or Robocell Pro on some PCs running Windows 10 / Windows 11. The issue is caused by applications preventing real time control. 

Update to the latest version of Scorbase Pro or RoboCell Pro.

Do not update your software if this is in a CIM / FMS installation without contacting support first! Updating the software may overwrite the configuration for the CIM / FMS.

If the Power/Status led remains red or blinks 3 red times when trying to go on-line.


Disable Chrome / Edge Startup (Requires Administrator Rights)

If Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge are open or running in the background the controller will fail to go on-line. If either browser is opened while on-line the controller will disconnect. If you are using a robot with this controller with LearnMate Curriculum we suggest Mozilla Firefox as an alternate web browser.
