Chapter 7: Operation
l
The main screen will display any event or condition that causes an ARAM restart or
AMR shutdown, and give the cause of the restart or shutdown.
E-Stop
When pressed, the red, latching push-button prevents any AMR motion by disabling the
motors. To reset the E-Stop, twist the button slightly, so it pops up.
The motors must also be explicitly enabled, either with the dialog box that will pop up or with
the ON button; this is not the case if the AMR is docked or experienced a critical driving fault.
This can be done either with the MobilePlanner (with Map >Show Robot on) software, or
with an ARCL command. See the following figure:
Figure 7-7. Motor Enable Pop-up Dialog
In normal use, the E-Stop button has three primary purposes:
l
You need to interrupt or stop the platform for some reason, to keep it from performing
its currently scheduled task (and don’t have access to MobilePlanner).
l
You are working near the platform and don’t want it to move.
l
You want to use the Brake Release button.
NOTE: There is a two-second delay between the release of an E-Stop and the
platform resuming its activity. During the two seconds, the platform scans its
path for potential obstacles, and will resume commanded motion if there is
adequate space to maneuver.
ON Button
The ON button restores power after the OFF button was pressed, and the software finishes shut-
ting down the AMR.
It can also be used to restore power after an E-Stop has been released.
NOTE: If your battery is P/N: 12072-000, a docked and charging robot will
ignore the OFF button until it leaves the docking station.
