MobilePlanner Operator Mode provides limited access to AMRs. See: Fleet Operations Work-
space Core User's Guide (Cat. No. I635).
Mobile Autonomous Robot Controller Operating System (MARC)
At the lowest level, a microcontroller running MARC firmware handles the details of AMR
platform mobility, including maintaining the platform’s drive speed and heading, as well as
acquiring sensor readings, such as from the encoders and gyroscope, and managing the plat-
form’s emergency stop systems, bumper, and joystick. The MARC firmware computes and
reports the platform’s odometry (X, Y, and heading) and a variety of other low-level operating
conditions to ARAM.
Touchscreen Support
Whenever the Mobile Software suite is downloaded, it includes support software for the touch-
screen.
Call/Door Box Support
Call/Door boxes have one component on the boxes and another on either the EM or on the
single robot.
SetNetGo
The SetNetGo OS runs on the AMR core and EM appliance. It is the host OS in which ARAM
and ARAMCentral run.
The SetNetGo interface in the MobilePlanner software is used for configuring the Ethernet set-
tings for the platform, upgrading software, and performing systems diagnostics, such as
retrieving log files. It can be accessed when connected via the maintenance and management
Ethernet ports, or via wireless Ethernet if enabled.
NOTE:
It is possible to connect directly to the SetNetGo OS on an AMR through
a web browser. The main intent of this is to allow your IT support to set up the
network for you, without using MobilePlanner.
