Everyone,
In the link below you can find several topics about options with UR robots.
http://www.universal-robots.cn/how-tos-and-faqs/how-to/
problems, tips and tricks etc.
the youtube links below makes clear how to make a profinet connection with UR10
if you have any questions come to me or place them in this topic
Danny van Egmond
Note: the profinet connection is only possible with the UR10 CB3 V3.3
with the other robots a ethernet connection is more suitable
Or modbus right?
For older firmware versions (1.6 and forward) you can find info about it here:
https://www.universal-robots.com/how-tos-and-faqs/how-to/ur-how-tos/modbus-server-16377/
It depends on what you want to do, as you can see in the table (from the link) you can write only the inputs and outputs. Not the states of the machine. This was also the problem with the profinet connection.
Ethernet gives you this opportunity to change the states by sending strings like “play” en “stop” to a specific port of the robot. (see link)

this is what we did in our project and thereby the use of the teachpanel wasn’t necessary 
So basically we would need a chart with all the functionalities and which ones work over Ethernet, Profinet and Modbus?
