This section shows how you can create a new virtual machine using Oracle VM VirtualBox to simulate the Universal Robots controller.

Follow these steps to create a new Linux machine and load the downloaded controller image:

1.Start VirtualBox and press “New”.

2.Set the name to UR_Sim_Eseries and set the Machine folder to the folder that you created.        
Set the type to Linux and the Version to Ubuntu (64 bit).

3.Set the Memory size to 768 MB and press “Next”.

4.Select Use an existing virtual hard disk file and define the path to the folder where the zipped file was unpacked. Press “Create”.

5.Press “Start” to start the virtual machine.

6.If an error saying “Hardware acceleration is not available” is shown then you may need to reboot the computer and change a BIOS setting to enable virtualization. With virtualization enabled you can then restart Windows, VirtualBox and the virtual machine.

7.The virtual machine should now starte.
