Safety Precautions Cybersecurity To maintain the security and reliability of the system, a robust cybersecurity defense pro- gram should be implemented, which may include some or all of the following: Anti-virus protection • Install the latest commercial-quality anti-virus software on the computer connected to the control system and keep the software and virus definitions up-to-date.
Precautions for Safe Use Precautions for Safe Use • It is required that the terminal block-based splitter cable design be used as shown below instead of any other methods like soldering and splicing, as there is a chance that a cable with a poor contact can cause overheating in the cable that could lead to a fire.

1 Introduction Overview This document describes how to use the LD battery to power user-supplied equipment that requires more than 10 amps. These connections are typically required when AMR payload devices (conveyors, lifts, etc.) require more power than can be provided by the LD Core USER PWR or AUX PWR connec- tors.

2 Electrical Considerations Battery Characteristics The behavior of the battery during typical AMR operation is characterized in the following sections. 2-1-1 AMR Current Consumption AMR current consumption during typical operation states is provided below. • 1.5 amps when the AMR is powered ON and stationary. •...
2 Electrical Considerations Battery Overvoltage Use the information in the following sections to understand and mitigate battery overvoltage condi- tions. 2-2-1 Regenerative Loads Some load types may generate electricity during certain operations. For example, a motorized lifting mechanism may generate electricity while lowering, or a motorized arm may generate electricity while decelerating to a stop.
2 Electrical Considerations Battery Current Limits The LD battery is rated to deliver up to 40 amps continuously. It can deliver higher current momentari- ly, as shown in the current output duration graph below. If the battery current limit is exceeded, a battery protection feature is activated and battery power out- put will stop.
2 Electrical Considerations Power-up and Inrush Some user-supplied equipment may consume large amounts of current during power up for a short duration, which may lead to battery protection shutdown. Devices such as transformers, coils, induc- tive loads, or other equipment with capacitors may exhibit this behavior. It is essential to know the in- rush requirements of the user-supplied equipment and take measures to ensure that it does not ex- ceed the battery’s overload capacity.

2 Electrical Considerations Additional Information Reducing current supplied to a load may impact operation or functionality. Always consider the effect of reducing current to the load before implementing inrush current limiting. An example of an inrush current limiter is shown below. Current Limiter Load Contactor...

2 Electrical Considerations Duration of Overload (s) Based on this power overload curve above, a dissipation resistor with 0.75 resistance can withstand 25 times its rated power for a duration of 1 second or less. A 50 W rated resistor (TE Connectivity HSA50R75J) would be sufficient based on the following calculation.
2 Electrical Considerations Accessing the Battery Power A cable must be created to access the LD Battery power. This cable preserves the LD Core power connections while providing a connection point for LD Battery power. This cable can be considered as a power splitter cable, to split power from the LD Battery to the LD Core and to user-supplied equip- ment.

2 Electrical Considerations • All cable assembly equipment. Refer to A-1 Example Equipment List on page A-2 for a sample list of compatible equipment. • 4 mm hex bit (LD-60/90) or 5 mm hex bit (LD-250). • Torque wrench. • Drill with 25 mm metal bit. •...

2 Electrical Considerations LD-60/90 LD-250 Insert the rubber grommet into the hole. This grommet will protect the battery power sharing cable from chafing and damage to the in- sulation that could cause shorts or other damage to equipment. Remove the connector of the pre-existing LD power cable from the LD Core BATTERY POW- ER port.
Page 32
2 Electrical Considerations Connect the battery power sharing cable load power leads to the user-supplied load. If the user-supplied load is not available, terminate the battery power sharing cable load power leads to prevent shorting. Check that all connections are secured to complete this procedure. 2-12 LD-series AMR Battery Power Sharing User's Guide (25240-000)
