I have a Process where parts are picked and placed using a UR5e with a Robotiq Hand-e Gripper.
I run the Robot in Remote (Start Stop etc. from a HMI) to remove operators tampering with the program and installation tabs.
However the Robotiq URCap is still active. this means the operator can open the gripper whilst still running.
Is it possible to disable the URcap either when in Remote or when the Program is Running?

Yes you can just enable it when you need to and disable it after but its a step that will be forgotten and then I'm back at step 1.
I was hoping for a little bit more of an elegant solution.
Could you explain why you need to give access in local and not remote ?
Where is the remote interface ? Why not changing program in local ?
The remote interface is on a PC out of reach of the Robot and TP.
Local is reserved for engineers for recovery of any errors and so gripper control access is essential.
