Looking for direction with UR3

SlocumJared

My company has recently bought a UR3 robot, I am still fairly green to PLC programming; I am looking for documentation that can point me in the right direction as we will be using this with an Allen Bradley L16ER along with a data logic camera. I am looking for the best materials that could help me understand controlling the robot through commands sent from the PLC over Ethernet IE(move commands, load programs/start/pause/stop). I have never worked with UR prior I have worked with Yamaha who have AOIs.

The support page on Universal Robots web page was super helpful to me, or even just the manual. There is also a lot of videos on youtube.
