1 About this manual

1.1 Overview

This operating guide describes how to integrate a MiR100/MiR200 with a Universal Robots arm

mounted on top. The MiR UR Interface offers a simple way of interaction between a MiR100/MiR200

and one robot arm from Universal Robots mounted on a MiR100/MiR200. It is possible to control

the UR from the MiR100/MiR200.

This operating guide is intended for users with a basic level of mechanical and electrical training, as

well as experience with elementary programming concepts. Please read the MiR100/MiR200 User

guides, UR e-Series/CB3 User Manuals previous to this document.

Please read the complete operating guide before integration.

2 Mechanical

2.1 Mounting

Considering the many different configurations available to mount a UR Robot arm on top of a

MiR100/MiR200, it is the user’s responsibility to find a suitable bracket for the solution.

We suggest using a manufacturing platform dedicated to machine design such as VENTION

(https://www.vention.io/designs/7586).

Figure 2.1. MiR100/MiR200 with a UR Robot arm mounted on top.

Make sure the UR Robot Arm is properly and securely bolted in place.

Unstable mounting can lead to accidents.

2.2 Docking

To improve the precision of the MiR100/MiR200 positioning, use a VL-marker at the stations

where the UR Robot arm performs an action.

Figure 2.2. Use a VL-marker to position MiR100/MiR200 correctly.

2.3 Cable management

To pass through the power, safety and communication cables, a hole must be drilled in

MiR100/MiR200’s top cover. The following illustration shows the recommended hole’s

position, marked with red.

Figure 2.3. The recommended position of the hole for the cables.

3 Electrical

3.1 Requirements

3.1.1 MiR

MiR100/MiR200 must be equipped with two batteries when powering a UR Robot arm.

When ordering MiR100/MiR200, you can choose the option with two batteries or contact your MiR

representative to order a second battery (MiR100/MiR200 - Part number: 450029).

To install the second battery, please find the instruction on our Distributor site http://www.mobile-

industrial-robots.com

3.1.2 UR

The UR Robot arm must be transformed to a battery-supplied robot. A step-by-step procedure can

be found in the “UR Robots with Battery Supply Installation guide”. Contact your Universal Robots

representative to obtain this document.

3.2 Wiring diagram

The complete electrical wiring diagram is presented first, and then it is divided to individual

Power, Safety and Communication subsections

Figure 3.1. Complete wiring diagram.

3.2.1 Power

MiR100/MiR200 outputs a maximum of 24V DC - 20A continuously. The UR Robot arm and

other accessories can be connected directly to MiR100/MiR200’s power system.

Do not run a program that requires more power than the batteries can supply.

For more information regarding the UR power consumption, refer to the UR battery installation guide.

Electrical

MiR / UR Interface Operating Guide 11/2018 v.2.0 6

The terminal rail of MiR100/MiR200 has extra ports where the UR Robot arm can be

connected, see picture below. The Power connection diagram can be found at the end of this

section.

1. Connect the UR +V Power cable to any of the free ports in the terminal labeled 1.

2. Connect the UR -V cable to any of the free ports on the terminal labeled 6, 7 or 8.

a. It is recommended to use two circuit breakers between the batteries and the UR PSU. The two

circuit breakers can be mounted inside the UR Control Box.

3. Make sure to ground together both robots.

Find a place to make a common ground like shown below.

3.2.2 Safety

The complete system must be designed and installed in accordance with the safety

requirements set forth in the standards and regulations of the country where the robot is

installed.

Perform a risk assessment for the complete robot system, before powering on the robots.

Depending on the application and risk assessment, the UR Robot arm shall be brought to a

stop whenever MiR100/MiR200 goes into an emergency stop. This safety function can be

achieved in one of two ways:

1. UR Safeguard Stop safety function.

2. UR Emergency Stop safety function.

Both safety functions require the use of a safety relay.

Safeguard

Stop safety

function

This is how you connect the MiR100/MiR200 emergency stop to the UR Robot arm’s

Safeguard Stop.

MiR:

1. Connect the relay’s positive input to MiR100/MiR200’s Q4 safety PLC output.

2. Connect the relay’s negative input to any free port on MiR100/MiR200’s connectors 18, 19 or 20

(see picture on page 6).

UR:

1. Remove the two jumpers connected to the Safeguard Stop Safety signals on the SCB.

2. Connect the 24 V signals to the relay’s common connectors, and the SI0 and SI1 signals to the NO

connectors.

To resume the UR Robot arm’s movement automatically when MiR100/MiR200’s stop signal

is re-established, disable the default Safeguard Reset function under Polyscope > Installation

> Safety > IO > Safety Input. This applies for both series.

Emergency

Stop safety

function

This is how you connect the MiR100/MiR200 emergency stop to the UR Robot arm’s

Emergency Stop.

MiR:

1. Connect the relay’s positive input to MiR100/MiR200’s Q4 safety PLC output.

2. Connect the relay’s negative input to any free port on MiR100/MiR200’s connectors 18, 19 or 20

(see picture on page 6).

UR:

1. Remove the two jumpers connected to the Emergency Stop Safety signals on the SCB.

2. Connect the 24V signals to the relay’s common connectors, and the EI0 and EI1 signals to the NO

connectors.

The operator will need to manually re-enable the UR Robot arm when operating the robot.
