Chapter 5: Call/Door Boxes
1. Request
When an Operator presses a call button, the button sends a message requesting an
AMR for that call button goal.
2. In Progress
When the job status is In Progress, the call/door box host software sends a message to
the call button, so the button starts blinking slowly. This notifies the Operator that the
request was received, and is being processed. Output1 will turn ON.
If an AMR is sent to the goal by some means other than the call button, Output1 will
still turn ON, although the button won’t blink.
A ring of LEDs around the push-button will light, and count down the distance remain-
ing for the AMR to reach the goal. When it gets within a certain distance, the cor-
responding LED will go out. See the following figure.
Figure 5-27
Call/Door Button Lights
NOTE:
The HERE LED will be solid when the AMR is within 5 M, and
blink when the AMR has arrived.
NOTE:
The LEDs will display the distance from the goal of the closest
AMR that is headed to that goal, regardless of the source of the AMR‘s
request. This includes requests made from the touchscreen on an AMR. If
the request did not originate from the call button, the button will not blink.
