Hello,
I have UR10e and MIR100, and I want to turn on, off and release brake on the UR by MIR robot Is there any way to do it automatically?
You will need relays controlled by the MiR. It can be done by using a WISE ethernet module (WISE-4060/LAN) connected to the MiR’s 24V and ethernet.
MiR supports this module as an I/O module, and it’s easy to set up.
It has relay outputs which can turn on and off the UR by using the Remote terminals. 
Releasing brakes will be done automatically by setting up the UR for remote running.
Alternatively, a PLC can be used, which the MiR can communicate with through MODBUS or the REST API. But the WISE module is much easier to set up.
Thank you for your response. Now I am controlling the remote terminal using the manual button, and I put the robot in remote mode, but when I power off the robot and power it on again, I have the same issue. Should I connect it with the MIR? I mean, what is the purpose of connecting the Ethernet? I would appreciate further explanation if you can.
What issue are you talking about? Releasing the brake?
The ethernet connection between MiR and UR is only for starting UR programs. If you enable the feature in the MiR, you will get a new action in your mission editor to call a program in the UR.
Yes, I meant the brake release, but I solved it in another way in 1: installation window 2: startup 3: defining a start program and the conditions to run it, as well as conditions to release the brake, like digital input 2, low.( The robot should be in remote mode).
Thanks for your cooperation.
That’s exactly what I meant, as well.
