1.2 Product Description
Optional Features and Components (Partial List)
Several additional options and features are available for the LD-250. See also: Options on page
187.
Fleet Manager—Use an EM2100 appliance and the Fleet Operations Workspace soft-
l
ware to operate a fleet of AMRs, for multi-AMR coordination and job management. A
second Fleet Manager provides redundancy and manual failover for fleet operations.
Acuity Localization—Acuity uses an upward-facing camera to enable AMR localization.
l
It detects unique patterns in the illumination fixtures (overhead lighting) used in your
workspace.
Spare battery—You might require one or more spare batteries to increase AMR pro-
l
ductivity by eliminating the time spent recharging. Using the cable provided, you
charge this battery outside the AMR and quickly exchange it with a discharged battery
when necessary.
Call Box or Door Box—A call box or door box is a signal device that:
l
Enables you to request an AMR from a remote location.
o
Controls an automated doorway, enabling an AMR to pass through it.
o
High-Accuracy Positioning System (HAPS)— HAPS uses single or double under-body
l
magnetic sensors on the AMR to detect magnetic tape strips adhered to the workspace
floor. This enables an AMR to achieve highly accurate placement and alignment at a
specific location in the workspace. For example, if an AMR pickup goal is a conveyor
belt where it receives a crate of parts, use HAPS alignment to make sure that the AMR
and the conveyor are aligned precisely.
Options for Enhancing Your Payload Structures
Rear Lasers—A rear-facing obstacle-detection laser that scans the horizontal plane to
l
the rear of the AMR.
Side Lasers—Side-mount obstacle-detection lasers that scan the vertical plane on each
l
side of the AMR. These lasers detect obstacles that are outside the scanning plane of the
main safety laser. You might use side lasers on your payload structure to avoid
obstacles that the main safety and navigation laser cannot detect.
Touchscreen—The Touchscreen complements the standard Operator panel, enabling
l
operators to interact with the AMR and the FLOW Core software directly from the pay-
load structure.
Operators can observe AMR status, select a goal, or do other operations. The Touch-
screen does not provide manual operation buttons or an E-Stop. If you remove the Oper-
ator panel you must install alternate manual switches and an E-Stop. Otherwise, use a
jumper (part number 13387-000) to bypass the operator panel E-Stop circuit. You must
physically remove any bypassed E-Stop buttons to avoid operator confusion.
Be aware that if you remove the operator panel you might need to add an E-Stop button
elsewhere on the AMR to comply with safety requirements. See: Positioning an Optional
Payload E-Stop on page 126.
See the LD Platform Peripherals User's Guide for more information about the Touchscreen.
