Environment - Omron LD-250 Assembly Instructions Manual

AMRs factor this data into their obstacle avoidance algorithm.
IMPORTANT: Fleet Manager is not an interlocked method of collision prevention. It is your
responsibility to implement interlocked methods of collision prevention where necessary.
For operational redundancy and fail-over you can add a second EM2100 appliance. See the
Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Guide for more information.

3.5.1.1 General Environmental Conditions
Make sure that the LD-250's operating environment remains safe for the LD-250.
• Environmental Hazards—These are areas where it is unsafe for the LD-250 to
operate. For example, steep ramps (greater than 1:12 or 4.7 degrees unloaded),
docks, or shelves. Provide physical barriers that the LD-250 can detect accurately
with its scanning laser so that it does not attempt to drive near the hazard. Be aware
that in addition to being easily detectable, a barrier must be strong enough to resist
a fully-loaded AMR traveling at full speed.
• Restricted Areas—You can also use map features such as preferred lines and
forbidden zones to keep AMRs within their designated area of operation. See the
Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Guide for information about editing your
workspace map.
While you can use either or both physical barriers and map features to keep AMRs within
their designated workspace, OMRON recommends that you always install physical barriers
where there is a risk of damage or personal safety.
3.5.1.2 Public Access
The LD-250 is designed to operate in indoor industrial environments. You must deploy it
only in applications where you anticipate and mitigate potential risks to personnel and
equipment.
