Getting started 3.2 Installing MiRCharge 500 MiRCharge 500 is easy to install and commision in any facility where MiR500 robots operate. Make sure to read and follow the safety notes applying to the installation of MiRCharge 500. See Safety on page 2. Figure 3.2. -
Page 10: Marking Potentially Hazardous Floor Area
Getting started Wall fixing is not required; the robot will not push the charging station when docking. But if there is a slight risk that the charging station could be pushed, for example to one side or the other, it is recommended to fix it to the wall to ensure that the physical position of the charging station corresponds to the marker position on the map. - Page 11 Getting started Figure 3.3. The floor around the docking station must be marked with signal tape to indicate where the personnel protection means are muted. • • • MiRCharge 500 Operating Guide 01/2019 v.1.0 • • •...

Page 12: Product Presentation
Product presentation • • • • • • 4.1 About MiRCharge 500 MiRCharge 500 is a charging station that enables MiR500 robots to stay charged for undisrupted operation 24/7. Multiple MiR500 robots can share the same charging station; however this requires integration in MiRFleet to avoid bottleneck situations. -
Page 13: Identification Label
Product presentation When MiR500 is in position on top of the charging connectors (pos. 3 and 6 in Figure 4.1.), the robot must first deliver a small current to the charging station before the charging station starts the charging. If the robot’s battery is completely discharged, it is necessary to connect an external cable charger. -
Page 14: Usage
Usage • • • • • • 5.1 Introduction It takes two steps in the robot interface to set up robots for automatic recharging in MiRCharge 500. This chapter describes how to create a marker in front of the charging station that will enable the robot to move and connect to the charging station: 1. - Page 15 Usage 4. In the Create marker window, enter a name for the marker and select Type > MiRCharge 500. 5. Select Detect marker. The Detect-marker function tracks the position of the charging station and automatically sets the X, Y and Orientation values in the robot, enabling it to connect to the charging station.
- Page 16 Usage 6. select OK to create the marker. A new marker icon represented by a lightning symbol is now visible on the map and ready to use in missions. Figure 5.2. The charging station marker of the MiR500 can be recognized by the red lightning symbol.

Page 17: Creating Charging Missions
Usage 5.3 Creating charging missions This section describes how to create missions that include moving to a charging station for automatic recharging of the battery. The first example shows how to set up a simple mission that only includes that charging action itself, see Create a simple charging mission on page 13 The second example shows how to include a charging action in a larger mission where you set the robot to check the battery by inserting an If action that regularly checks if the battery is below or... - Page 18 Usage The Create mission window opens. 2. Insert the following actions: • On the Move menu, select Docking. • On the Battery menu, select Charging. • On the Move menu, select Relative move. The mission now looks like this: Next steps include definition of which charging station to go to, setting of charging parameters and, finally, how to move away from the charging station.
- Page 19 Usage • To read more about the different Charging action combinations, see Charging action parameters explained on page 20. 3. In the Relative move action dialog, define how far the robot should move away from the charging station after charging is completed. This is done by defining an X-value and a Y-value that moves the robot backwards and to the side.

Page 20: Insert A Charging Action Into A Larger Mission
Usage 5.3.2 Insert a charging action into a larger mission Usually, charging actions are part of larger missions where the battery level is regularly checked throughout the mission. The missions can be created in a number of ways, but must include an If action that regularly checks the battery level and sends the robot to a charging station when the battery level falls below a defined percentage. - Page 21 Usage The mission now looks like this: The next steps include definition of which positions the robot should move to when the If action is True, and, when the If action is False which charging station the robot should go to and setting of charging parameters.
- Page 22 Usage 3. Under True in the If action, select a position for each of the three Move actions. Then select Validate and close. 4. Under False in the If action, set the parameters for the Dock to and Charging actions: •...
- Page 23 Usage • In the Charging action dialog, define how the charging should be completed. In our example, there is no minimum time. When the battery reaches 50%, the charging is completed. Select Validate and close. 5. The mission is complete. Select Save to save the mission. The mission is now visible in the missions list and ready to add to the missions queue.
