The configuration should be done automatically and there is no need to set up anything specific on the robot controller side.
The following controllers work with the High-Speed Ethernet Server driver: Computer vision system toolbox crack.
●DX100
●DX200
●FS100
●NX100
●YR1000
Note: If your Yaskawa/Motoman controller doesn’t support the High-Speed Ethernet Server protocol (such as XRC robot controllers) you can use a serial connection such as RS232 (make sure to specify the COM port instead of the IP).
A connection between RoboDK and any Motoman robot can also be established to move the robot automatically from a connected PC using RoboDK and Motoman’s MotoCom software option and the apimotoman driver.
Update Pulses per degree information
Yaskawa Motoman robots require knowing the ratio of pulses per degree, for each joint, to convert angular joint values to pulses and vice-versa. RoboDK automatically generates programs with the correct pulse information if the pulses per degree ratio is provided in the robot parameters.
Follow these steps to verify if this information is available for your robot (or to update it):
1.Double click your Yaskawa Motoman robot in RoboDK
2.Select Parameters
3.Select Unlock advanced options
4.Review or update the pulses/degree values for each joint
Once this information is updated you can generate your programs with the correct pulses/degree information.

Overview
The Motoman driver controller interface was created with the cooperation of Yaskawa Motoman, to provide a more high-performance interface for controlling Motoman robots. This interface provides a number of improvements, including:
- robot speeds up to 100% of robot capability for DX100, DX200, FS100, YRC1000 and YRC1000micro controllers
- low-level control of joint position, velocity, and path timing
- improved fault detection and recovery
- improved motion and controller status feedback
Technology Stack
Requirements
The software will work on all FS100, DX100, DX200, YRC1000 and YRC1000micro robot controllers. However, for DX100 controllers, a specific software option must be explicitly ordered from Motoman in order to enable ROS-Industrial integration (see the MotoPlus Runtime License section below).
For more detailed information, please contact one of the support resources listed on ROS-Industrial Technical Support or Yaskawa Motoman Technical Support.
The MotoROS software is compatible with the Human Collaborative (HC) series robots. Please see the compatibility notes below.
Controller system software
The latest MotoROS binary (v1.5.0 or higher) requires the following controller firmware (or a newer version):
Controller | Version |
FS100 | FS3.30.00-00 (or newer) |
DX100 | DS3.32.00-14 (or newer, and must end in -14) |
DX200 | DN2.21.00-00 (or newer) |
YRC1000 | YAS1.11.00-00 (or newer) |
YRC1000 (HC robot) | YAS2.80.00-00 (or newer) |
YRC1000micro | All controller versions |
YRC1000micro (HC robot) | YBS2.31.00-00 (or newer) |
MotoPlus Runtime License
Note: this is required for the DX100 controller only.
The following part number must be ordered for the DX100 robot controller:
Region | Part number |
Americas (North, South) | 180014-1 |
Europe | 167536 |
The MotoROS application and source is available for public download. However, ordering this part number will ensure your controller is updated with correct system software, the MotoROS driver is installed, and all internal parameters are properly configured.
MotoPlus SDK (optional)
Note: This is optional for all controller models, but will allow you to modify the MotoROS driver which runs on the robot controller. The MotoPlus SDK is not required to be able to develop ROS applications, it is only needed if the MotoROS application is to be changed.
Controller | America Part Number | Europe Part Number |
FS100 | 169272-3 | 158302 |
DX100 | | Icloud activation lock 10.3.3 removal tool for mac. 147961 |
DX200 | 169272-2 | 166386 |
YRC1000 | 169272-4 | 183387 |
YRC1000micro | 169272-5 | 206078 |
More information
For more information, please contact Yaskawa Motoman and inquire about the ROS package.
Compatibility with collaborative robots (HC series)
Please note that the MotoROS application is now compatible with the Human Collaborative HC series robots. Please review the HC Notes document to understand the functionality and limitations.
Design
The Motoman driver communicates with ROS through the simple_message interface, with a few additional Motoman-specific message types. Trajectories are streamed to the controller using a message format that captures all the ROS JointTrajectoryPoint data: joint positions, velocities, accelerations, and path timing. The controller buffers these points and interpolates between them to send commands to the controller at the required timing. More detail on the internal operations and required simple_message commands is documented here.
Performance
The Motoman driver interface provides a high-performance motion control interface for Motoman robots. In general, robot motion is smooth, but can be choppy if poorly-filtered trajectory commands are sent. The controller performs only minimal trajectory filtering, so users must take care to properly condition the trajectories before submitting. The interface does provide some low-level filtering, however. Sudden stops or breaks in the trajectory stream result in smooth deceleration on the physical robot hardware.
