Which ports have to be open to access the robot controller through VPN?

Hi,

The below information is in the RobotStudio help.

Network connection

To enable a connection to a controller on a subnet or over the local network, the relevant network traffic must be allowed through any firewalls between the PC and the controller.

The firewalls must be configured to accept the following TCP/IP traffic from the PC to the controller:

• UDP port 5514 (unicast)

• TCP port 5515

• Passive FTP

  All TCP and UPD connections to remote controllers are initiated by the PC, that is the controller only responds on the given source port and address.

   

  Firewall settings

  The firewall settings are applicable irrespective of whether you are connected to a real controller or a virtual controller.

  The following table describes the necessary firewall configurations:

• Name	Action	Direction	Protocol	Address	Local Service	Service	Application
  RobNetscanHost	Allow	Out	UDP/IP	Any	Any	5512,5514	robnetscanhost.exe
  IRS5Controller	Allow	In	UDP/IP	Any	5513	Any	robnetscanhost.exe
  RobComCtrlServer	Allow	Out	TCP/IP	Any	Any	5515	robcomctrlserver.exe
  RobotFTP	Allow	Out	TCP/IP	Any	Any	FTP(21)	Any

  In addition, the following table describes the necessary firewall configurations for the RobotWare option, Integrated Vision:

  Name	Action	Direction	Protocol	Address	Local Service	Service	Application
  Telnet	Allow	Out	TCP/IP	Any	Any	23	RobotStudio.exe
  In-Sight Protocol	Allow	Out	TCP/IP	Any	Any	1069	RobotStudio.exe
