If the lights on the Segway RMP 210 stay on continuously after turning on the power, check the LED indicator pattern to identify the operational mode:
- If the red LED blinks rapidly and then turns off, double-check the disable button. - If powered from USB, disconnect the USB cable and toggle the on/off switch ON again.
Refer to the LED patterns in Table 8 to match the light behavior with the system mode and troubleshoot accordingly.

RMP. Segway has chosen to allow users to control overall RMP movement, but not individual wheels/motors. This frees users to treat the RMP as a single unit rather than a collection of components, and allows Segway to provide a more robust, predictable mobility platform.
• Do not use cables that are frayed or damaged. You could shock yourself and/or damage the RMP. • Use only Segway approved fasteners on the RMP. Other fasteners may not perform as expected and may come loose. Failure to do so could expose you to risk of personal injury or property damage.

• Use only charging devices approved by Segway and never attempt to bypass or override their charging protection circuits. • Always protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the RMP. The RMP could become damaged.
State Of Charge — a measurement of battery charge from 0% (empty) to 100% (full). Segway Processor — a microcontroller on the CCU that contains proprietary Segway code for controlling the RMP. Serial Peripheral Interface — a synchronous serial data link standard that operates in full duplex mode.
The major difference between the two models is the number of Motor Control Units (MCUs) in the powerbase and the presence or absence of a Balance Sensor Assembly (BSA). The RMP 210 has one MCU, one propulsion battery, and no BSA. The RMP 220 has two MCUs, two propulsion batteries, and a BSA.
RMP and interpret its responses are described later in this document (see "Communication," p. 47). To make this process easier, Segway provides an OCU Demo Application and source code (see "OCU Demo Application," p. 102). This application is fully functional, but is not intended to be an end solution. Instead it is meant to be used as a functional example of how to interface with the RMP.
The RMP has a coordinate system relative to forward/reverse, pitch, roll, and yaw. This coordinate system is used when controlling the RMP. The diagrams below show the RMP's axes and coordinate system. Both the RMP 210 and 220 share the same coordinate system. An RMP 210 is pictured below. Ψ' Φ'...
Maximum payload in Balance Mode is determined by the gain schedule (page 23). It is possible to use higher payloads with custom gain schedules. Environmental Specifications The Segway RMP was designed to withstand environmental conditions both indoors and outdoors. Table 5: Environmental Specifications...
In order to balance safely and accurately the controller's gain schedules must be precisely tuned for a given payload and weight distribution. Four pre-defined gain schedules can be selected, and Segway can create custom gain schedules for specific applications. CAUTION! The Tall configuration requires extra care.
The RMP combines the robustness of the Segway powerbase with a versatile Centralized Control Unit (CCU). The powerbase is the same proven technology used in the Segway PT. It controls the wheels, senses the RMP's orientation, and provides a mounting location for the batteries.
Powerbase The powerbase is one of the main components of the Segway PT and has been leveraged for use as the propulsion unit of the RMP. Each RMP 220 has one powerbase that controls both wheels. Inside the powerbase are two Motor Control Units (MCUs) and a BSA. The powerbase is not serviceable by the user;...
Table 7: Battery LEDs LED Status Meaning There is one LED for each 72 V Segway battery attached to the RMP. When charging, the LEDs turn green. If a battery is at maximum charge, its LED Battery is not charging.

Kvaser installs a new icon in the Control Panel. USB drivers are included with the RMP software (see "Included Software," p. 100). These are custom Segway drivers and will not install automatically. When the "Found New Hardware Wizard" appears, the folder containing the drivers must be explicitly selected.
Internal Connections This section describes the hardware connections inside the Segway RMP enclosure. Some of these connections are used within the RMP for internal communication between components. Other connections are for external communication and can be used to control the RMP.

Method 1 — Internal Segway Logic At any point if the Segway processor logic needs to immediately disable the system it can do so by releasing one of its DIO lines. This will stop current flowing and prevent the opto-couplers from pulling down on the disable input.
That voltage typically comes from the battery supply. CCU Battery Supply The CCU can be self-powered from a 7.2 V pack made from two series 3.6 V lithium iron phosphate cells. Use only Segway-approved battery packs. Connection to the CCU is via J22.
Included Software Segway provides demonstration software so that users may test the RMP and see examples of how to communicate with the RMP. The software is provided as an example and is not suitable for controlling the RMP in an unstructured environment. Segway does not warranty or guarantee the performance of this software.
• C:\Program Files\Segway\RMP_Applications\Release Binaries • http://rmp.segway.com/forum There are two bootloaders: one for the Segway Processor (SP), and one for the User Interface Processor (UIP). Entering Bootloader Mode Make sure the RMP is powered off and unplugged. Connect pins D and F on the 6-pin connector (for the full pinout, see "Connector II,"...
RMP platform. Please see the software license agreement ("Software License Agreement," p. 107). Segway provides the Operator Control Unit (OCU) Demo application with source code that runs on Windows platforms (XP, Vista, 7). The source code illustrates how commands may be constructed and sent to the RMP and how data may be received back and parsed.

RMP 210/220 Controls The RMP can be controlled in a wide variety of ways. Segway provides some example control interfaces that are compatible with the Demo OCU, but many other methods are possible. WARNING The RMP can accelerate rapidly, risking personal injury and/or property damage. It is recommended that the RMP be securely raised so the wheels are off the ground until the user becomes familiar with the controls.
• Failure to heed these warnings could lead to death, serious injury, or property damage. • Before performing any maintenance, verify that the Segway RMP is unplugged and powered off. It is not safe to perform maintenance while the RMP is powered on or charging: the RMP could move unexpectedly.
The outside of the RMP can be cleaned by scrubbing with soap and water to remove any dirt and grime. Avoid getting water in the connectors. Do not submerge in water. If the inside of the RMP needs to be cleaned, contact Segway (see "Contact Information," p. 6). Do not use water or any liquid cleaning agents inside the enclosure.

WARNING! Unplug or disconnect your Segway RMP from AC power before removing or installing batteries or performing any service. It is hazardous to work on any part of your RMP when it is plugged into AC power. You risk serious bodily injury from electric shock as well as damage to your RMP.
