Warning Light
Each AMR should have a visible flashing light, to warn people that the AMR is ready to move
or is moving. The exact implementation of this warning light depends on the design of your
payload. Use the LD-250 Core's Light Pole connector to power and control the warning light.
Make sure that the light remains visible under all operating conditions so that people can
always see it. Consider the design of your payload structure for warning light visibility, includ-
ing when the AMR is transporting objects.
3.7 Installing the Docking Station
The docking station enables you to either manually or autonomously charge the LD-250's bat-
tery according to charging parameters that you set in MobilePlanner.
Install the docking station on a flat and level floor, in a location that is kept clear and is easily
accessible to AMRs. If you have more than one AMR, make sure that your map contains fea-
tures such as parking spaces or queuing lanes to accommodate AMRs that are approaching
and leaving the charging areas.
The docking station's charging paddle is spring-loaded to accommodate slight variations in
the floor surface so that it engages with the AMR's charging funnel. You might need to adjust
the paddle's height if the floor is uneven.
Considerations and requirements when installing the docking station are:
l
Secure the docking station through its base by threaded wood or concrete fasteners that
are appropriate for the substrate.
l
Additionally secure the docking station by the supplied bracket, fastened to an adjacent
wall. Omron recommends both floor fasteners and the wall bracket for the LD-250. If
you cannot secure the wall bracket to a structural framing member with screws, use
heavy-duty toggle (butterfly) bolts in drywall. Do not use drywall plugs or anchors.
l
Temporarily use the docking station free standing (without fasteners) but attached to its
optional floor plate. Do this only for testing or experimenting with the location of your
docking stations. Secure the floor plate to the ground with strong fabric tape or light-
duty fasteners.
l
Maintain 1.5 m (4.9 ft) of unrestricted space around the docking station to enable the
