Chapter 6: Connectivity; Required Connections; Ld Cart Transporter Connections - Omron LD User Manual

Most of the connections that are available to the user are in the payload bay, which is the
space between the platform and the platform top plate. These include I/O and power con-
nections. Access to the payload bay is covered in Accessing the Payload Bay on page 152.
For a cart transporter system, most of these connections will not usually be used.
The two connections outside of the payload bay are the Joystick port and the Maintenance Eth-
ernet port, which are located under a small access panel on the left side of the platform, in the
upper-right corner. Both of these ports have a second, connected port inside the payload bay.

6.2 LD Cart Transporter Connections

NOTE: All of these are in the payload bay.
NOTE: If a connection is covered in this subsection, it means that the description in
the subsection Standard Platform Connections on page 89 does not apply to the
transporter, because that connection is being used for a cart-specific use.

Chapter 6: Connectivity

In order to generate maps with the transporter, you need to connect a
joystick to its Joystick port.
The Joystick port is located under a small access panel on the left side
of the platform, in the upper-right corner.
This is internally connected to another Joystick port in the payload
bay.
The Maintenance Ethernet port is located under a small access panel
on the left side of the platform, in the upper-right corner.
Its IP address is 1.2.3.4, with Netmask 255.255.255.0.
Access to the SetNetGo OS is always enabled on this interface, and
does not require a password or a license.
This is internally connected to another Maintenance Ethernet port in
the payload bay.
For multi-robot installations, or where you wish to send new com-
mands or receive status updates from the robot, you need to have wire-
less Ethernet.
The robot needs access to a docking station so it can charge itself. The
docking station needs access to AC power.
