This chapter provides an introduction to the EM2100 appliance. It includes the following top­ics.

1.1 Description of the EM2100 7

1.2 Items Supplied with the EM2100 7

1.3 How to Get Help 8

1.1 Description of the EM2100

The EM2100 is a computing appliance with a processor capable of running the Fleet Oper­ations Workspace Core suite.

The EM2100 appliance can be configured for the following operating modes.

l

Standalone Fleet Manager

This has the ability to connect to, communicate with, and control the AMR fleet.

l

Paired:Primary Fleet Manager

This is similar to the Standalone Fleet Manager, but also communicates with a Sec­ondary Fleet Manager, which serves as a backup if the Primary ever fails.

Chapter 1: Introduction

l

Paired:Secondary Fleet Manager

This functions as a backup appliance for the Primary.

l

Fleet Simulator

This can simulate up to ten AMRs divided between up to three fleets.

The installation of theEM2100 appliance is the same regardless of which operating mode the
appliance will be used for.

Additional Information: Details for the use and configuration of the functions
above can be found in the Fleet Operations Workspace CoreUser's Guide and the
Fleet Simulator User's Guide.

NOTE: The EM2100 appliance can support legacy AMR fleet management. To
configure the EM2100 for use with legacy fleets, refer to the Fleet
OperationsWorkspace Migration Guide.

1.2 Items Supplied with the EM2100

The EM2100 appliance is supplied with the following items.

l

Rack-mount rail kit for a four-post data center rack

l

Power cable set, including cables for use in various locales world-wide

20569-000 Rev. D EM2100 Installation Guide 7

1.3 How to Get Help

Additional Equipment used with the EM2100

The following equipment is used during the normal operation of the EM2100.

l

An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is recommended (refer to Power Requirements
on page 47 for more information). If your manufacturing execution system or enterprise
resource planning system is maintained by a UPS, including this for the EM2100 will
help ensure that the integrity of these systems is maintained through any brief power
outages.

l

Network infrastructure necessary for communication and optionally for redundant net­work communication (if you use a Paired Secondary Fleet Manager).

l

OMRON Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).

l

Compatible Windows PC clients to run MobilePlanner for remote access to the appli­ance and AMRs.
