Payload Movement and Transfer
Monitoring and confirmation of the status of AMR payload movement and transfer to or from
facility equipment is the end-user’s responsibility.
Payload transfer problems must trigger an AMR E-Stop, preventing the AMR from moving
until an Operator has resolved the problem and confirmed that the system is safe to use. This
handling of payload transfer problems is the end-user’s responsibility.
Providing an interlock between the AMR and facility equipment is the user’s responsibility.
Configurable Warning Buzzer
The LD Platform Cart Transporters have a configurable warning buzzer. It is the user’s
responsibility to configure this buzzer as appropriate for the facility in which the AMR will be
operating. The buzzer will sound whenever the AMR is moving backwards or is turning.
Other situations are configurable.
The buzzer is configured with MobilePlanner, using the following parameters:
NOTE:
These parameters are only available with the Mobile Robot Software
Suite 5.0 and later.

Parameter
Default Setting
DriveWarningEnable
True
NOTE:
If this parameter is set to False, the
remaining parameters will not be displayed.
IMPORTANT:
Disabling the
DriveWarn-
ingEnable
parameter violates the JIS D 6802
standard. It is strongly recommended that you
leave this set to True.
DoNotWarnDrivingForwards
False
DoNotWarnTurningInPlace
False
DriveWarningLoudMilliseconds
500; If
DriveWarningQuietMilliseconds
is 0, this parameter is
irrelevant.
DriveWarningQuietMilliseconds 500; This is the length of time between warnings that the
buzzer is silent. Setting this to 0 will cause a continuous warn-
ing.
Multi-AMR Avoidance
When multiple AMRs are operating in the same operating space, they must be connected to an
Enterprise Manager (EM) via WiFi. The EM helps prevent collisions by sharing AMRs’
