Failed to collect complementary mechanical unit info

[jarunyawat]

I tried to launch the abb_bringup package, but I encountered the error 'Failed to collect complementary mechanical unit info.' Even though I can log in to RWS using the robot's IP address and default username and password. How can I fix this?

Please provide more details to your question including

• ROS version
• Whether you installed ROS via binaries or source
• abb_ros2 branch
• Exact launch commands
• Whether connected to real robot or Robotstudio
• Robot model name
• Robot controller version
• Detailed terminal output saved to a gist

ROS2 HUMBLE installed via binaries. I use the humble branch and run ros2 launch abb_bringup abb_rws_client.launch.py robot_ip:=192.168.125.1 connected to an IRB14000 (YuMi) via Ethernet, with the robot controller version 6.15.05.00 equipped with StateMachine and Smart Gripper add-in. The terminal just shows a failure to connect with the reason being 'Failed to collect complementary mechanical unit info.

I observe the same issue. Any updates on this?

Make sure you have the RAPID module (TRob1Main.mod) installed and running on your physical robot controller. It's located in the 'robot_studio_resources' directory in this repo. You don't need RobotStudio to install it, you can use a USB drive connected to the FlexPendant.
