Chapter 5: Call/Door Boxes
NOTE:
This section (External Digital Outputs) will not be present if there
are no call/door boxes in the system.
o
Alias
Enter a meaningful name, to be used in place of Device<5E:CA:03>_Output_1. If
this has spaces, they will be replaced with ‘-’.
o
Inverted
Check the box for True (enabled) if logical ON is electrically low, or ground, for
this output. Leave unchecked for False if logical ON is electrically high.
o
Count
Select the number of items that trigger this output. For door boxes, set this to 1.
o
Type1
Select “door” from the drop-down for the trigger (value) of this output.
Configuring a Door on the Map
For this configuration, you need to have the following parameters enabled:
1. MobilePlanner > Config > Robot Operation
2. Map Features
o
SingleRobotSector
o
Doors
These are both check boxes (no values are needed).
NOTE:
The goals and DoorSwingSector must exist, and the door output must be
configured before you can create a Door area. You will have to estimate where to
place the Door area. See Hints and Tips for Door Areas, Door Goals on page 76.
Decide where the Door area will go on the map, then:
1. Create a Door goal on each side of the door.
These goals need to be clear of where the door will swing when it opens or closes.
a. MobilePlanner > Map > Draw
b. Goal > Door goal
c. Give the Door goal a name (and optional description).
You do not need to change anything in the Parameters: section.
2. Create a DoorSwingSector on the side of the Door area to which the door swings.
a. MobilePlanner > Map > Draw
b. Advanced Areas > DoorSwingSector
