Chapter 7: Options
The Lynx platform is available with a number of options to enhance its performance and abil-
ities.
l
Adept Lynx Enterprise Manager1100, for multi-AIV coordination
This is a network appliance that runs the Mobile Software suite.
It is covered in the Adept Lynx Enterprise Manager 1100 User's Guide.
l
MobilePlanner
™
software (licensed)
In order to have your AIV perform autonomous mobile activities, you need to make a
map of its operating space, and configure its operating parameters. The MobilePlanner
software is used to make this map and perform this configuration.
Refer to the separate Adept Motivity
®
User's Guide for details on how to map a working
space and prepare the virtual elements, goals, routes, and tasks for your application.
The MobilePlanner software requires a license to run. You need at least one MobilePlan-
ner license for each fleet of AIVs. Once a map is generated, it can be shared with mul-
tiple AIVs working in the same space.
l
Spare Batteries
At least one spare battery is needed if you opt to swap the platform’s battery, rather
than having it charge itself at a docking station. See Manually Charging the Battery on
page 75.
l
Vertical-mount Lasers
This is an option for payload structure development. The two lasers mount on the sides
of the payload structure to detect obstacles that protrude into the AIV's path, but may
not be detected by the safety scanning laser.
This is useful when the payload structure is tall enough that it might run into obstacles
not detected by the safety scanning laser.
The optional vertical lasers connect to the RS-232 Aux Sensors connector on the Lynx
core.
l
Payload Structure Sonar
This is in addition to the two standard front and two rear sonar pairs, and includes
four sonar pairs and a controller, which mounts in the payload bay. Each sonar pair
consists of one emitter and one receiver.
l
Call Buttons/Door Boxes
Call buttons are used to issue a request for an AIV to go to the goal associated with the
button. There may be multiple call buttons, even in an installation where there is only
one AIV.
