Note: Access parameters only need to be defined if the robot is using a positioning
beacon to return to the charging station.
Note: A set of access parameters must be defined for each station and each wire.
Wire
The id of the peripheral wire to which the parameters apply.
Direction
Defines the direction in which the robot will return to the station. This also represents a
characteristic of the parameters set.
The Direction can be Clockwise (CW) or CounterClockWise (CCW).
Station entry min / Station entry max
These define the point at where the robot will leave the trackborder, turn through 90°
(taking the loopstep) and move towards the wire. The robot will choose a random
distance that lies between the minimum and maximum values.
Dist. before alarm
This is the maximum distance that the robot should travel along the wire in the direction
of the station before it issues an alarm. The value is set at 29m and in most cases this
does not need to be modified. It may be necessary to modify this value if the positioning
beacon is not located in the charging station.
Min exit dist. / Max exit dist.
This defines the distance the robot will travel along the wire before turning though 90°
(taking the loopstep) and entering the track border. The robot will choose a random
distance that lies between the minimum and maximum values.
