Signal Sensors
- This test checks the functionality
of the coil that is used to detect a signal on a
peripheral wire. The following information is
shown:
6)
Drive Motor -
This test checks the functions of
the drive motor.
7)
Cutting Motor -
This test rotates each of the
cutting heads and verifies that their rotational
speed is correct.
If any of the heads display a NOK value that is not
in line with the others, you will need to examine
those heads and see if there is any sort of
blockage that is preventing it from rotating
normally.
8)
Sonar Sensors -
This test verifies if the sonar
sensors are operating correctly. Replace any
defective sensor. An indication of which sensor
needs to be replaced is given.
9)
Lid -
In order for the robot to be able to execute
its missions the lid needs to be shut, and to form
a closed circuit between magnets on the lid and
relays on the cover. This circuit needs to be open
when the lid is open and when the lid is pressed
down acts as the stop button. This requires that
all magnets and relays are functioning properly
and that they are correctly positioned.
8.5.5 Advanced Parameters
From any menu, press
repeatedly until the home
menu appears. From the home menu, press and hold
9
on the numeric keypad until the TECHNICIAN SETTINGS
menu appears.
From the
TECHNICIAN SETTINGS
menu, select
Advanced Parameters
. The options in this menu
include:
X/Y COIL0_CENTER
X represents the current test
in the current sequence.
Y represents the total number
of tests to be performed in
the current sequence..
COIL0_CENTER is the name of
the current test.
Detecting wire < {value}
{value} is the value of the
“track value”. If the result of
the test is less than this value,
the test is successful.
CH{A}:{result value}
If the test result is greater
than the defined “track
value”, it will be listed here.
Move the robot closer to the
signal wire detected. When
the value is less than the
“track value”, the item should
be removed from the list.
Drive Motor Test
Press the check button to
start the test.
Close the lid when requested.
The robot will move forward a
short distance then stop and
beep.
Open the lid.
If the robot moved forward,
answer Y es to the question
by clicking
.
If the robot moved backwards
answer No to the question by
clicking
. If this is the
case, reverse the connections
on the drive motor cable.
Close the lid when requested.
If the robot did not move, or
only one wheel moved, the
test will fail and the report
will indicate the problem.
Visually inspect the drive
motors to see if there is a
blockage.

Option
Description
Max. speed
Sets the maximum speed at which the
robot will move (maximum speed is 2.2
mph [1.0 m/s]).
Wire crossing dist.
Sets the distance the robot will move
when it crosses the peripheral wire,
before turning back into the field again.
The default value is 0.2m. This
distance represents the distance
between the front of the robot
and the position of the coil that
detects the presence of the wire.
NOTE:
The distance between the
peripheral wire and the edge of
the working area depends on
this value.
Min. temp.
Sets the lowest outside operating
temperature in which the robot will
operate.
Disable sleep mode
Enables or disables sleep mode.
Max idle time
Sets the maximum idle time.
