Chapter 3: Setup
Warning Buzzer
The Light Pole connector on the core can power a warning buzzer. You can install it in either
the platform or in a location of your choice in your payload structure. In either case, the buzzer
will sound intermitently whenever the AMR is moving in reverse.
How you install the buzzer in the payload structure depends on the payload design, and is
not covered here. To conform to applicable standards, the buzzer must be audible in all oper-
ating conditions and environments.
The buzzer is configured with MobilePlanner, using the following parameters:
NOTE: These parameters are only available with the Mobile Robot Software
FLOW Core 1.0 and later.
Table 3-1. Default Parameters
Parameter Default Setting
DriveWarningEnable True
NOTE: If this parameter is set to False, the
remaining parameters will not be displayed.
IMPORTANT: Disabling the DriveWarn-
ingEnable parameter violates the JIS D6802
standard. It is strongly recommended that you
leave this set to True.
DoNotWarnDrivingForwards False
DoNotWarnTurningInPlace False
DriveWarningLoudMilliseconds 500; If DriveWarningQuietMilliseconds is 0, this parameter is
irrelevant.
DriveWarningQuietMilliseconds 500; This is the length of time between warnings that the
buzzer is silent. Setting this to 0 will cause a continuous warn-
ing.
Warning Light
Each AMR must have a readily visible flashing light, to warn people that the AMR is ready to
move or is moving. The exact nature of this light depends on how the payload is designed
and built. The user-suppled warning light can be driven from the Light Pole connector on the
core.
You should ensure the light remains visible under all operating conditions, so that, regardless
of your payload structure design, any people near the AMR can see it.
3.8 Installing the Docking Station
The automated docking station can either manually or automatically charge your platform's
battery.
