We discuss the problem of connecting a virtual model of a Universal Robots robot in Visual Components Premium with the URSim virtual controller. The connection between virtual robots and virtual controllers are the basis for constructive (Software-in-the-Loop) commissioning. This method of commissioning has been proven to be effective in recent years, as many errors in the operation of a planned production can be identified at this stage and thus can be avoided in real commissioning. Because the current instructions for connecting the URSim controller and the Universal Robots robot in Visual Components Premium are deficient and the user is expected to have prior knowledge in the use of virtual machines, we described the connection process in detail and provided troubleshooting instructions. A robot cell and a robot movement program were developed for the purpose of displaying the operation of the controller and the simulation.
