meters to appropriate non-zero values. Then periodically exchange the battery with a
fully-charged and balanced battery. Once weekly is a typical exchange interval.
o
StateOfChargeToChargeTo determines the state of charge the battery needs to attain
before the AMR can stop charging.
A 90% value results in a battery that is almost fully charged, but not balanced.
o
MinutesToChargeFor determines the number of minutes the battery needs to
charge before the AMR can stop charging.
The AMR will stop charging when the battery reaches either of these parameter
values.
NOTE: If you leave both parameters at their default value of 0, and you
set DockUntilDoneCharging to False, the AMR will dock, but cannot
undock. It remains out of service until you correct the parameter values.
In this charging mode, Omron recommends that you exchange batteries at least at a
weekly interval. If you observe a reduction in AMR run time, decrease the exchange
interval.
7.4 Operator Panel
The Operator Panel or HMI (human-machine interface)provides several functions. You can
relocate the panel to other positions on your payload, subject to the length limit of its cable con-
nection to the LD-250 Core.
Figure 7-4 shows the panel's dimensions and fastener locations.
