NOTE: You can attach an optional, user-supplied, E-Stop button to the E-STOP
port on the User Interfaceconnector.
E-Stop Operational Considerations
Engaging the E-Stop through the external connector (or Operator Panel) faster than 250 ms
causes the drive motors to re-engage when you release the E-Stop.
Motor re-engagement occurs because the LD-250 Core is designed to receive a consistent E-
Stop signal for at least 250 ms. Signals that engage and disengage in under 250 ms cause the
LD-250 Core to interpret the signal as a bumper press, which automatically re-engages the
motors.
No signal on the E-Stop chain can cause the robot to operate while the E-Stop remains
engaged. Thus. you must keep the E-Stop engaged, if your intent is to keep the AMR in an E-
Stop state.
