Issue details

Summary

The file ur7e_update_rate is missing from ur_robot_driver/config yet the ur_control.launch.py is still looking for it if included in ur7e.launch.py.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install ros-humble-ur from apt according to the README.md instructions
2. Launch UR7e: ros2 launch ur_robot_driver ur7e.launch.py robot_ip:="localhost" use_mock_hardware:=true mock_sensor_commands:=true

Expected Behavior

No errors. No warnings.

Actual Behavior

Parameter file path is not a file warning. The parameter is not set.

Workaround Suggestion

Probably not critical. A workaround if this causes problems is to run UR5e instead of UR7e

Relevant log output

[WARNING] [launch_ros.actions.node]: Parameter file path is not a file: /opt/ros/humble/share/ur_robot_driver/config/ur7e_update_rate.yaml

---
$ ros2 param get /controller_manager update_rate
Parameter not set.

Oh, my! we are missing that also on rolling, Kilted and Jazzy. Thanks for reporting!

Please note: As a workaround you can simply use the ur5e launchfiles. From a driver's standpoint a UR5e and UR7e are exactly the same.
