Setnetgo - Omron LD User Manual

Refer to the separate Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide for details on how to map a work-
ing space and prepare the virtual elements, goals, routes, and tasks for your application. In par-
ticular, refer to:
Working With Map Files > Editing a Map File > Using the Drawing Tools >
Adding Goals and Docks
The MobilePlanner software requires a license to run. You will need at least one license for
MobilePlanner for each fleet of robots. Once you generate a map for an area, it can be shared
between multiple robots in one fleet.
MobilePlanner, Operator Mode
The MobilePlanner Operator Mode is used to monitor one or more robot's activities and have
them perform mobile tasks in the mapped space. When MobilePlanner is started without its
license dongle, it automatically starts in this mode. Refer to the separate Mobile Robot Software
Suite User's Guide for details.
Mobile Adept Robot Controller (MARC)
At the lowest level, a microcontroller running MARC firmware handles the details of platform
mobility, including maintaining the platform's drive speed and heading, as well as acquiring
sensor readings, such as from the encoders and gyroscope, and managing the platform's emer-
gency stop systems, bumper, and joystick. The MARC firmware computes and reports the plat-
form's odometry (X, Y, and heading) and a variety of other low-level operating conditions to
ARAM.
Touchscreen Support
Whenever the Mobile Software suite is downloaded, it includes support software for the
optional touchscreen.
Call/Door Box Support
Call/Door boxes have one software component on the box and another on either the Enterprise
Manager 1100 or on the single robot, when there is no Enterprise Manager 1100.
ARCL Protocol
ARCL is a function of ARAM and ARAMCentral, which is included as part of this suite.
The Advanced Robotics Command Language, or ARCL, is a simple text-based command and
response server for integrating a robot (or fleet of robots) with an external automation system.
ARCL allows you to operate and monitor the robot, its accessories, and its payload devices
over the network, with or without MobilePlanner.

SetNetGo

The SetNetGo OS runs on the Robot Core and Enterprise Manager appliance. It is the host OS
in which ARAM and ARAMCentral run.
The SetNetGo interface in the MobilePlanner software is used for configuring the Ethernet set-
tings for the platform, upgrading software, and performing systems diagnostics, such as
retrieving log files. It can be accessed when connected via the maintenance and management
Ethernet ports, or via wireless Ethernet if enabled.
