Technical Questions Robot Communication

Hello,

today, I startet to make myself familiar with the UR10 (Software Version 5.14.5). At first, I would like to realize a first minimal project for to move and position the robot arm. Therefore, I want to use the ethernet connection and program the robot with python. Is there any guidline for this task to do it safe and sound?

Kind regards

Either through the Dashboard, Primary interface or RTDE.
I think there are examples for all of them in Python.

Thanks for your reply. I think first of all I would need first informations on how to connect the control box to my computer. Are there diagrams available, that show the connections to be made (e.g. ethernet, usb,…) graphically?

Everything that I send you only requires to connect your laptop to the robot with an Ethernet cable, you will the network logo on the robot controller showing where the Ethernet port is. So something like:

Laptop Ethernet port -> Ethernet cable <- Controller Ethernet port

Only thing to do afterwards is to setup the IP addresses on both your computer and the controller box.

I would setup the IP addresses the same as one of the provided examples.
