3.4 MiR500 operating modes
MiR500 has the following operating modes:
Manual mode
In this mode, you can drive the robot manually using the joystick in the robot interface. Only
one person can control the robot manually at a time. To ensure that nobody else takes
control of the robot, the robot issues a token to the device on which you activate the Manual
mode.
For information about activating this mode, see section Driving the robot in manual mode on
page72.
Autonomous mode
In this mode, the robot executes the programmed mission. After switching the key to this
mode, you can remove the key, and the robot will continue driving autonomously. In
autonomous mode, the joystick is disabled in the robot interface.
Muting of the personnel detection means
When performing tasks that require the robot to move very close to surrounding objects, the
robot mutes the personnel detection means. For example when docking to a marker.For
example when docking to a pallet rack.
When muting the personnel detection means, the robot does the following:
• Reduces the size of the safety zones
• Turns off the collision detection
• Decreases the speed
• Flashes the yellow indicator lights
You can also mute the personnel detection means using the robot interface:
• Put the robot into Manual mode. See section Driving the robot in manual mode on
page72
