Chapter 6: Connectivity
Most of the connections that are available to the user are in the payload bay, which is the
space between the platform and any payload structure placed on top of it. These include I/O
and power connections. Some are required, others are available if needed.
The two connections outside of the payload bay are the Pendant port and the Maintenance Eth-
ernet port, which are located under a small access panel on the left side of the platform, in the
upper-right corner. See Figure 8-1.
Both of these ports are connected to the core inside the payload bay.
6.1 Required Connections
l
Pendant port In order to generate maps with the platform, you need to connect a
Pendant to Pendant port.
The Pendant port is located under a small access panel on the left side
of the platform, in the upper-right corner.
This is internally connected to the core in the payload bay.
l
Maintenance
Ethernet
The Maintenance Ethernet port is located under a small access panel
on the left side of the platform, in the upper-right corner. This is intern-
ally connected to the core in the payload bay.
The Maintenance Ethernet port is permanently set to IP address
1.2.3.4, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0, for direct, wired access to the
onboard systems. Access to the SetNetGo OS is always enabled on this
interface, and does not require a password or a license. Accordingly,
when accessing the port, manually set the off-board computer’s Eth-
ernet to an IP 1.2.3.x, where x is any number 1 through 254 except 4,
and with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. No special DNS or gateway set-
tings are needed.
l
Wireless
Ethernet
For multi-AMR installations, or where you wish to send new com-
mands or receive status updates from the AMR, you need to have
wireless Ethernet.
l
Docking
Station
The AMR needs access to a docking station so it can charge itself. The
docking station needs access to AC power.
6.2 Payload Bay Connections - Core
These connections are available for use with standard and user-supplied accessories. The
antennas come with the platform.
The Pendant is an option, but at least one is required per fleet for map-making.
