Dashboard - OMRON PLC connection to UR10e

Technical Questions
1

Hello, everyone!

I’ve developed a station with a UR10e and it is communicating with the PLC via EtherNet IP. Everything is working fine but, now that I’m completing the HMI, I’d like to select the program and play it from the HMI and not using the teach pendant.
Regarding this, I’ve seen some information online. I’ve abled the remote control option in the cobot and I know I have to set a port to 29999. However, I’m not aware of what this port is or where it is. I haven’t found anything about it in the teach pendant and I didn’t see anything about configuring a port in Sysmac Studio.
So, how can I set this up to start, stop, open programs without messing with the communication I already have going on?

Help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

It’s called “Dashboard server” and documentation is here: Dashboard Server e-Series, port 29999 - 42728

It’s simple text telnet-like interface for low-speed control and status.

When you use “dashboard server” search phrase, you will find plenty information here on the forum and on discord channel.
