Program selection and loading over PLC

Hello,

is it possible to select a specific program with the plc and send a signal to the robot to load this selected program?

So i can change the robot program with article change of the Line?
I dont want to do this with the teach pendant.

Hi @steven.sonne

try to use the Dashbord Server of the UR.

I connected my PLC (Siemens) with the UR and i could send directly strings to the Robot.
The Robot has to be in “Remote”.

https://www.universal-robots.com/articles/ur/dashboard-server-e-series-port-29999/

Here you can find a PDF file with all the commands that the robot “accepts”. There are commands for Start/ Stop/ Pause…
Also from here you can Open/ Load saved Robot Programs.

Kind regards from Luxembourg!

Hello,

That’s exactly what I was looking for.

Hello,
Is there any option to change the Program Of universal robot from from PLC in UR10 (CB31UR10) robot.

Hi @prasad.waghe07

Yes.

u change/ load a other UR program by using the command "load<program.urp>.

I have one programm thats called (on UR) Micellar_F4

When i want to open that i have to send following code from the PLC to the UR:

The syntax is super important!
Otherwise the UR will not understand the command from the PLC!
