8.5.1 Infrastructure
Use the operations in this menu to configure peripheral
wires, parcels, and stations.
Peripheral wires
From the TECHNICIANS SETTINGS menu select
Infra-
structure > Peripheral
wires. The
WIRES SETTINGS
menu will display.
A list of defined wires is presented, each with the corre-
sponding channel number. The list of parcels associ-
ated with the wire is listed below it.
Select a wire and press
to see the wire properties.
Wire properties include:
•
Create new wire
•
Signal channel
•
Reverse phase
•

Create new wire
Use to Create a new wire. This option is only present if
no wires have been defined.
To Create a New Wire:
1)
Select
Infrastructure > Peripheral wires > Create
new wire
.
2)
Select
OK
to confirm that you want to create the
new wire.
3)
The new wire and its associated parcel will
appear in the wire settings list.
4)
Select the new wire and click on
.
5)
Select the required channel number. Station
Loop is always channel 0. Field 1 is always
channel 1. Field 2 is always channel 2.
6)
Check the sign of the magnetic distance
displayed at the top of the menu. If this value is
negative, check the Reverse phase button ON.
7)
Click
to exit the menu.
The newly created wire will appear in the
Wire settings
menu. Wire settings options include:
Wire id and magnetic distance
The identification of the wire in terms of the associated
channel is displayed. In addition the current value and
sign of the magnetic distance between the robot and
the wire is indicated.
Signal channel
The signal (frequency) channel for the peripheral wire.
This corresponds to the channel set using the rotating
switch in the charging station. In the case of a
multi-field installation, each wire used, must be
assigned to a specific channel.
Reverse phase
The sign of the phase on the inside of the field is oppo-
site to that on the outside. This is how the robot can
detect whether it has crossed the peripheral wire. The
phase should be positive inside the field.
To determine if this is the case, examine the magnetic
distance value shown at the top of the menu. If the
value is positive the phase is correct. If it is negative,
check this option to reverse the phase.
