5 Commissioning and Entry into Service
Upon commissioning of a new robot, a field or more fields must be set up before operation with the robot can
commence. For the robot to be able to navigate a specific area, the corner points must be fixed, and other
field data must be saved in the robot’s memory.
Field set up is only required one time per field as the field data is saved in the robot for future use. You
can save a maximum of 20 fields.
Make sure that the batteries are fully charged before initiating field set up and the first operation.
Optionally, place the robot outdoors 24 hours before commissioning if the weather allows it. Hereby, the
robot will charge the batteries via the solar panels during the day.
5.1 Field Setup and Obstacles
Field set up is performed from the HMI panel of the Robot while the Robot is being moved physically around
the field to each corner point.
Special attention must be given to the following instructions when setting up the Field:
1. Ensure that the Batteries on the Robot are sufficiently charged before commencing (minimum
25,5V).
2. Before marking the corner points, a Field slot must be selected in the HMI and given a Field name.
Use a name that makes the field easy to identify, remember, and distinguish from other fields.
3. All corner points must be set in one continuous chronological string around the outer edge of the
entire field.
4. The physical position of the front GPS on the Robot is used when defining a corner point. Therefore,
it is important to position the robot such, that the front GPS is located at the desired physical corner
point, as close to the outer edge of the field as possible while still remaining inside any plow furrow,
trees, or other obstacles.
The Robot will create a safety zone inside the outer lines of the fields physical corner points. This
zone is used for turning as the front wheel during turning, in most cases, will run outside the areas
covered by the robot.
The safety zone width depends on the working width of the robot, as the robot always needs the
same space to turn due to the zero-turn technology.
For safe robot commissioning please do a thorough safety check of the intended covered area of the
robot, including the following points:
•
Make sure that no public roads, trails or paths cross the intended covered area of the robot.
•
Pay special attention when commissioning next to public roads. Keep good distance between the
road and corner points during field setup.
•
Make sure to keep good distance to steep hills, ditches, etc., when setting up the fields.
Below, illustration displays an example of a field setup. The orange boarder symbolizes the safety zone. The
corner points, that have been marked using the front GPS of the Robot, are the outside corners of the
orange boarder.
