Wireless Signal Availability
Your wireless network should provide constant service throughout the workspace. Consider
the following network resource requirements:
l
Signal Availability—If you have an AMR fleet, constant access is an operational require-
ment. For a single or segregated AMR's, partial signal cover might be acceptable in
workspace areas where you do not need to send commands or receive status from the
AMR.
l
Signal Strength—A signal of >=-40 dBm is the ideal WiFi signal strength, -60 dBm is
the recommended minimum.
Omron recommends that you use wireless network industry best practices to conduct a com-
prehensive workspace survey and test your wireless service.
The greater the number of AMR's in your fleet, the more wireless resources they consume. For
more information about wireless resource requirements see: Fleet Operations Workspace Core
User's Guide.
Bandwidth Considerations
All devices that access a Wireless network consume its bandwidth. Use a dedicated network to
restrict wireless network access to AMRs and use security to prevent other devices from access-
ing the network.
Typical bandwidth consumption for a fleet is an average 50 Kbps per AMR. This increases
when you connect multiple AMR's to an EM2100, and actively manage them with MobilePlan-
ner. Bandwidth consumption might increase or decrease depending on the types of commands
and debugging tools that you enable in MobilePlanner.
However, the bandwidth consumption is unlikely to exceed 500 Kbps per AMR (0.5 Mbps). A
value of 0.5 Mbps per AMR is within the capabilities of most wireless access points (>=54
