I have a cell with a UR10 and UR3 talking to an Allen Bradley PLC over ethernet with all communication working fine.
Is there a way to remotely enable the robot after a protective stop?
Thank you.

Sure, do you mean automatically or just remotely like from a touch pendant?
The robot is broadcasting its safety state on the EIP network so you could know when it enters protective stop. There are then dashboard commands that you can send over TCP/IP socket to port 29999 that will close the safety pop up which then clears the protective stop.
You could display safety state on an HMI for instance and then give the operator the ability to close the pop up from there. If the robot needs to be initialized you can send those commands over the same socket connection as well.

Hi Mathew,
Thanks for the reply.
I've since found the 'unlock protective stop' command. Its odd that you can't unlock it with the EithernetIP communication.
Have you ever set up the TCP/IP socket communication between a UR dashboard and AB Compactlogix PLC?
Thanks
Unfortunately I haven’t, we have external devices for handling all of those commands that we’ve developed.
I think the reason they don’t is you can get into a controller state where the EIP communication is not occurring as that server is not running as the robot controller is not powered on. The dashboard server starts running as soon as the Linux operating system is up and running.
