5.6 Operation
3. Arrival
When the call/door box host software detects that the job's status changes to Arrived, it
sends a message to the call button, so the button starts beeping, and blinks rapidly. This
notifies the Operator that the AMR has arrived and needs attention. Output2 will turn
ON for at least one second. Output1 will still be ON.
The call button goal can have a delay associated with it, to give the Operator time to
unload or load the AMR, and to specify new goals, for AMRs that allow Operator input.
Goal tasks are set in the MobilePlanner software, which is covered in the Fleet Oper-
ations Workspace Core User's Guide (Cat. No. I635).
The call/door box host software then dismisses the AMR, making it available for its
next job. This resets the call button to idle (and stops beeping and blinking). Output1
and Output2 will go OFF.
The two Outputs behave the same for an AMR sent to the call button‘s goal, regardless
of the source of that request (call button or touchscreen).
4. Cancel
If the Operator presses the button before the AMR has arrived, it sends a request to can-
cel the job. This can be at any stage of the request sequence before arrival.
When the queuing manager receives the request to cancel, via the call/door box host soft-
ware, it cancels the job, and instructs the host software to send a signal back to the call
button. All of the LEDs, including the push-button LED, will blink briefly, and the
beeper will beep briefly. The call button will then return to its idle state, ready for the
next use.
If an AMR has been sent to the call button from the touchscreen, pressing the call but-
ton‘s button will not cancel that AMR’s existing job. Rather, it will enter a request for
another AMR to be sent to the call button‘s goal.
NOTE:
The call button will report the distance of the closest AMR that is head-
ing for the call button‘s goal.

These behaviors do not apply to an AMR that has been sent using the
touchscreen.
