Chapter 5: Payload Structures
A payload structure is any mechanical equipment that you attach to the LD-250 for the pur-
pose of performing a task. It might be as simple as shelves to receive bins of parts or as com-
plex as a robot arm. In some cases, Omron designs and constructs a custom payload structure
for a specific application. In most cases the Omron customer or an integrator designs and
implements their own payload structure.
The LD-250 provides the mobility and navigation for the payload structure together with the
electrical power and data signal connections required to operate a payload structure.
This chapter describes considerations and requirements when designing payload structures for
the LD-250.
5.1 Safety
Warning Label
A No Riding label ships, unattached, with each LD-250. You must place this in a prominent
location on the payload, so operators will see it.
Other warning labels are applied at the factory.
Warning Lights
Your AMR should include warning lights appropriate for its application.
CAUTION: To comply with CE requirements, an AMR must have a readily-
visible warning device, such as a flashing light (user-supplied) to indicate
when it is either ready to move or is moving.
The LD-250 provides the following:
l
Colored light discs on each side that provide visual cues about the AMR's status and
its pending movement. See: Light Discs on page 109.
l
Provision for an auxiliary warning light on the LD-250 Core (the Light Pole connector,
described in LD-250 Core Rear Upper Connectors on page 100. You can use this connector
