Chapter 4: Configuration; Settings And Configuration; Maintenance Ethernet Connection - Omron LD User Manual

The LD Cart Transporter comes with firmware and on-board software installed.
Configuration of an LD Cart Transporter is done using the MobilePlanner software. Con-
figuration includes generation of the map that the robot will use for navigation. The cart park-
ing goals need to be added to that map. This manual only provides an overview of that
process, which is covered in detail in the Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide.
Other setup, mostly for communication, is handled by the SetNetGo OS, which is accessed
through the MobilePlanner software. It can also be accessed through a direct connection, so
your IT support can set up your wireless without needing the MobilePlanner license.
The transporter navigates using a map, generated with the MobilePlanner software. The oper-
ation of this software, as well as the downloading of the resultant map to the platform, is
covered in the Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide.
NOTE: The map must be generated and downloaded to the platform before you can
perform the steps covered in this chapter.
By default, the robot core, safety scanning laser, and some auxiliary power start automatically
when you press ON.

4.1 Settings and Configuration

Maintenance Ethernet Connection

To prepare your robot for autonomous mobile operation, attach a PC to the platform's Main-
tenance Ethernet port, and connect with the SetNetGo OS through the MobilePlanner SetNetGo
interface. If you do not have wireless yet, you can connect MobilePlanner through the wired
Ethernet port (Maintenance LAN) and set up the wireless network later.
The robot core is preset and tested on a Class-C network (netmask for all ports 255.255.255.0).
The Maintenance Ethernet port is set to IP address 1.2.3.4 and the wireless IP comes set with
an AP-based ("managed") SSID of "Wireless Network", unsecured. Consult with your network
systems administrator before modifying these network details through the SetNetGo OS.
The User LAN port is set to IP address 10.10.10.10.
Refer to the Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide.
The Maintenance Ethernet port is on the left side of the platform, under the small access panel
at the upper-right corner of the platform. (The joystick port is also there.) The access panel is
held in place with a push-push latch, and retained by a lanyard. See Figure 10-3. This is
internally connected to the Ethernet port located on the rear side of the robot core in the pay-
load bay.

Chapter 4: Configuration

CAUTION: The MobilePlanner dongle, which contains the license for running
the software, should be locked up when not in use, to prevent unauthorized
modifications to your system configuration. The software should be turned off
when not in use.
