Once the correct zone is displayed, press

 

F1

 

on the keyboard in 

order to activate a return to the station. This operation records the 

new work zone for the robot.

Press ON and close the hood.

 

The robot will go to charge and will 

start in this zone once the battery is fully charged.

6•4 USER PARAMETERS 

For the multizone option, all the user parameters (table below) are 

defined for each zone. 

Each zone (A, B and C) has its own user 

parameters (except parameter P005 (robot speed) which is a 

global parameter which is identical for all zones).

When the robot chooses a zone to work in, it uses the parameters 

linked to this work zone. This means you can configure the 

installation really flexibly if you consider that 

the multizone robot 

works in each individual zone in exactly the same way as a single 

zone robot using the parameter settings for the zone.

Refer to chapter 4•5 to find out how to change the parameter settings 

using the keyboard.

Only user parameters P008 and P010 have specific details which 

are linked to the multi-zone functionality 

and are described in more 

detail below. The other user parameters are the same as for a single 

zone robot and are not detailed further in this document.

6•4•1 P008 : FREQUENCY CHANNEL

The robot can synchronise itself on the correct peripheral signal 

channel sent via the cable from the station using parameter P008.
For a multizone installation, each zone has its own loop of wire 

connected to a specific board in the station, and for each board, the 

channel is selected using the red channel selector switch (picture 40). 

In order for the multizone installation to work, you need to select 

different values (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for each zone, A, B and C.
Parameter P008 allows you to synchronise the robot relative to the 

values programmed in the station.

P008 (Zone A) = you have to program the same setting (0, 1, 2, 

3, 4 or 5) as the channel selector in the station board which is 

connected to the loop around Zone A.
P008 (Zone B) as above with the board connected to loop B.
P008 (Zone C) as above with the board connected to loop C.

6•4•2 P010 : WORKING TIME RATIO

See chapter 6•2•6.

6•5 OPTIONS

Using the user parameters (see chapter 6•4), there are options which 

allow the behaviour of the robot to be configured. For a robot with 

multizone software, there are two major categories of options:
Global options: these apply to all the zones (A, B and C) and have 

a unique value which is valid for each zone and each cycle of work. 

They are listed in the table below with their default values: (−) option 

not activated, (√) option activated.

described in more detail below. The other options are the same as
