Chapter 6: Connectivity
Most of the connections that are available to the user are in the payload bay, which is the
space between the platform and the platform top plate. These include I/O and power con-
nections. Access to the payload bay is covered in Accessing the Payload Bay on page 156.
For a LD Platform Cart Transporter system, most of these connections will not usually be used.
The two connections outside of the payload bay are the Joystick port and the Maintenance Eth-
ernet port, which are located under a small access panel on the left side of the platform, in the
upper-right corner. Both of these ports connect to the core inside the payload bay.
6.1 Required Connections

In order to generate maps with the LD Platform Cart Transporter, you
need to connect a joystick to its Joystick port.
The Joystick port is located under a small access panel on the left side of
the platform, in the upper-right corner.

The Maintenance Ethernet port is located under a small access panel on
the left side of the platform, in the upper-right corner.
Its IP address is 1.2.3.4, with Netmask 255.255.255.0.
Access to the SetNetGo OS is always enabled on this interface, and does
not require a password or a license.

For multi-AMR installations, or where you wish to send new commands
or receive status updates from the AMR, you need to have wireless Eth-
ernet.

The AMR needs access to a docking station so it can charge itself. The
docking station needs access to AC power.
6.2 LD Platform Cart Transporter Connections
NOTE:
All of these are in the payload bay.
NOTE:
If a connection is covered in this subsection, it means that the descrip-
tion in the subsection Standard Platform Connections on page 89 does not apply
to the LD Platform Cart Transporter, because that connection is being used for a
cart-specific use.
