Good Morning
we have a cobot UR10e connecte with ethernet with 1769-l33erm of allen bradley , the plc is the master , we use the eds file to active at plc , we send the severals program to robot through interger output from the plc to robot . at robot program we use a switch commnand to change the program , but we saw the robot stop when change one program to other program and this cause time , some body know what the robot stop .
The pause is likely caused by the robot stopping execution each time the Switch command changes to a different program. Check whether the selected program is being restarted instead of running as a subprogram, and verify the EtherNet/IP handshake timing between the 1769-L33ERM PLC and the UR10e. Optimizing the program structure and reducing unnecessary program transitions can help minimize delays. This type of integration is common in Allen-Bradley industrial automation, where proper PLC-to-robot communication is essential for smooth and efficient operation.
When switching between programs on a UR10e cobot connected to an Allen-Bradley PLC, the robot may pause due to program execution logic, communication delays, or a stop-and-restart sequence. It is worth checking how the PLC sends integer outputs and how the robot’s switch command handles program transitions. Reviewing the Ethernet/IP communication settings and robot program structure may help identify the cause.
