Getter method to know the operational mode?

Hi,

It would be very useful if we get a getter method in the communication interfaces (Modbus, RDTE) to know the operational mode of the UR cobots (Auto/Manual).

Thanks,

Thank you, @gomathisankar
This is noted.

Will this both be applicable for e-Series (Automatic/Manual) and CB3 (Operator/Programmer)?

Yes. Jacob.

Implemented in 5.6 / 3.12.

I have a supplementary question about this. If we need the operational mode of the robot and the emergency stop status in a UR Cap your desired solution is to start a socket via localhost and the Dashboard Server port to estimate the information? Or is there another possibility in the mean time?

Because many UR Cap developers got to a similar point, where these question is important to answer.

Best regards,
