How to Power ON the Robot (instead of pressing the Button on Roboter Panel)

General Application Help: How do I?
1

Good morning,

i have a question about powering on the Robot.
After connecting the Robot to the Power supply i have to press the Power ON Button on top of the Robot HMI:

Is there any possibility to connect an external Button to the robot that will power on the robot (even tho the Panel is still connected?)

Or is that only possible when the teach panel is “deactivated”?

Cause normally the Panel will be inside of a fence.

Thank you very much

Kadams,

Please have a Look at the User Manual section 5.4.7 Remote ON/OFF control

Hi @m.hammerton

thanks for you answer,

I´ve checked on the UR website:

https://www.universal-robots.com/articles/ur/application-installation/disable-and-enable-the-e-series-teach-pendant/

Here it didn´t say if i can use that when the Teach Pendant is still connected (as that aritcle is about how to enable/disable the teach pendant).

cheers!

Pretty much the first think It says.

" Use remote ON / OFF to turn the control box on and off without using the teach pendant.
It is typically used:
*** When the Teach pendent in inaccessible** " e.g. connected but behind a fence.

I’ve not used it myself but give it a try!!

What’s the worst that could happen?

The remote on/off is perfectly safe to use with the teach pendant still connected to the robot.
