A payload structure is any mechanical equipment that you attach to the LD-250 for the pur-
pose of performing a task. It might be as simple as shelves to receive bins of parts or as com-
plex as a robot arm. In some cases, Omron designs and constructs a custom payload structure
for a specific application. In most cases the Omron customer or an integrator designs and
implements their own payload structure.
The LD-250 provides the mobility and navigation for the payload structure together with the
electrical power and data signal connections required to operate a payload structure.
This chapter describes considerations and requirements when designing payload structures for
the LD-250.
5.1 Safety
Warning Label
A No Riding label ships, unattached, with each LD-250. You must place this in a prominent
location on the payload, so operators will see it.
Other warning labels are applied at the factory.
Warning Lights
Your AMR should include warning lights appropriate for its application.
!
The LD-250 provides the following:
Colored light discs on each side that provide visual cues about the AMR's status and
l
its pending movement. See: Light Discs on page 109.
Provision for an auxiliary warning light on the LD-250 Core (the Light Pole connector,
l
described in LD-250 Core Rear Upper Connectors on page 100. You can use this connector

Chapter 5: Payload Structures
CAUTION: To comply with CE requirements, an AMR must have a readily-
visible warning device, such as a flashing light (user-supplied) to indicate
when it is either ready to move or is moving.
