Manually muting the Protective fields
There are two ways you can mute the Protective fields using the robot interface:
• Adding the Mute protective fields action to a mission:
1. Enable Mute protective fields under System>Settings >Features—see System
settings on page166.
2. Under Setup>Missions, create or edit a mission—see Creating missions on
page149.
3. Add the action Mute protective fields from the Safety system menu.
4. Edit the action parameters so the Protective field sets are muted.
MiR600 cannot mute specific Protective fields; you can either mute
all or none of the fields. Otherwise, the robot reports an error.
5. Add and drag all the actions you want the robot to execute with muted protective
fields inside the Mute protective fields action.
• When driving the robot in Manual mode:
1. Put the robot into Manual mode—see Driving the robot in Manual mode on
page61.
2. In the robot interface, select Muted Protective fields in the joystick control.
3. In the dialog box, select Yes to acknowledge the muting of the Protective fields.
If you are using Manual mode, you can mute the Protective fields sets
without marking the area as an operating hazard zone. It is the
responsibility of the user driving the robot to ensure that it does not
damage equipment or injure personnel. The robot will not stop
automatically for detected obstacles.
Automatically muting the Protective fields
The Protective field sets are automatically muted when the robot docks to most types of
markers, including shelves. This ensures that the robot can drive closely to the marker
without entering Protective stop.
