AGITO Owners’ Manual v1.3 Firmware r4.13
•
‘
Encoded
’ this is the most accurate mode and if very slow speeds are required. However, the
Maximum Speed is capped.
•
‘
Open
’ allows you to travel at higher speeds however the repeatable moves are DISABLED.
•
‘
Automatic
’ switches between the modes depending on your speed setting.
The system cannot switch from encoded to non-encoded mode during operation, so check that the
correct mode is selected at the beginning of the move.
The Maximum Speed dial can be adjusted whilst AGITO is in motion, however if operating in
‘Encoded’ mode, the Maximum Speed will be capped at 500 rpm/ 2.20 mps / 6.0 kmh / 4.5 mph.
The maximum speed setting on the MASTER GUI will display in:
BLUE if you are in ‘Encoded’ mode (for slow controlled and repeatable movement)
BLUE if you are in ‘Open’ mode (for fast movement)
RED if you are in ‘Automatic’ mode and the motors are running in Open as above the
speed limit outlined earlier.
We are constantly working on new tuning settings for these modes, and you can expect to receive
firmware updates that increase the range of the encoded mode as we develop improved algorithms.
Please ensure that you update and review the latest Owner’s Manual when you upgrade firmware.
THROTTLE MODE
There are two ‘Throttle Modes’ which change the deceleration and direction change characteristics of
AGITO:
•
‘Forward – Brake – Reverse’:
When changing direction, the AGITO must come to a complete
stop. The throttle must then be released (left in neutral) briefly and reapplied to change
direction. This allows the logic in the control system to differentiate between a brake command
and a change of direction.
•
‘Forward – Reverse’:
The AGITO will change direction as quickly as possible, without pausing.
However, if your intention is to stop without changing direction this mode may make the AGITO
bounce in to reverse momentarily, rather coming to a full stop.
Prepare and plan your moves, familiarise yourself with the surroundings and any potential hazards.
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure you are working within the safe limits of the system at all
times.
