1.1 Description of the Enterprise Manager 2100
The Enterprise Manager 2100 is a hardware and software solution that enables you to manage
a fleet of Automated Intelligent Vehicles (AIVs, also called robots in the software and documentation). The Enterprise Manager appliance uses a queuing manager software feature to communicate with AIVs in the fleet. It receives and processes job requests from users, call buttons,
and automation equipment. It then assigns jobs to appropriate AIVs in the fleet.
Different groups of AIVs in a fleet might require the same configuration depending on their
physical characteristics or task activities. Maintaining identical configurations on each group
of AIVs is time-consuming and error-prone. The Enterprise Manager 2100 enables you to manage both map and configuration updates for every AIV in the fleet from a single point of
access.

The Enterprise Manager 2100 also coordinates the movement and interaction of up to 100
AIVs in a fleet, to make sure that each AIV knows the location and path of any other AIV that
might affect it. This enables AIVs to work efficiently within close range of each other without
risk of collision or of interfering with each other’s movements and operations.
Figure 1-1. Main Components of an Enterprise Manager 2100Installation
A typical installation is shown in Figure 1-1. The operator’s terminal, automated factory equipment, and WMS or MES systems all communicate directly with the Enterprise Manager 2100.

1.2 Number of AIVs Supported by an Enterprise Manager
2100
The software license for a single Enterprise Manager 2100 supports an absolute limit of 100
AIVs. The actual number of AIVs that you can manage effectively is subject to practical operational constraints. Each robot consumes computing and communication resources. The more
complicated and dynamic the environment, the more resources an individual AIV consumes.
The following considerations apply when planning for the number of AIVs that your appliance can support.
The Workspace Map
Your Enterprise Manager 2100 can support more AIVs if the characteristics of your workspace
map are as follows:
l
The map is relatively small and well-defined with adequate physical features to facilitate autonomous navigation. Taking time to refine your map enables your EM2100 to
support a larger number of AIVs.
l
The area where AIVs operate is static, and workspace map features have greater permanence. If the workspace changes constantly and contains many temporary or moving
obstacles (such as fork-lift trucks and people) then your EM2100 can support fewer
AIVs.
l
There is minimal interaction between AIVs at goals or choke points such as doors and
corridors.
Using path planning map features (such as preferred lines) to organize and segregate AIVs
can increase the potential number of supported AIVs.
1.3 Hardware Supplied with the Enterprise Manager 2100
NOTE: Certain Mobile Software suite tuning parameters (such as PlanRes)
might have a negative effect on the number of supported AIVs. Before tuning
any configuration parameters discuss your objectives with an Omron representative.
Robot Jobs
Your Enterprise Manager 2100 can support more AIVs if the job characteristics are as follows:
l
AIV job routes are not complicated by many sub-tasks.
l
Interaction with a Warehouse Management System (WMS) or Manufacturing Execution
System (MES) is relatively simple and automated.
l
There is minimal use of payload devices and interaction with automated devices such
as conveyors.
l
AIVs are not competing for limited resources such as goals or docking stations.
l
Jobs use FIFO queuing instead of non-FIFO queuing.
Communications Network
Your Enterprise Manager 2100 can support more AIVs if the network characteristics are as follows:
l
Dedicated, high-speed network with adequate per-robot wireless bandwidth.
l
Good access point coverage with few or no low-signal (shadow) locations.
l
Network (LAN and Wireless) provides a good quality of service (QoS) to the Enterprise
Manager software.
If you have any questions when planning the number of AIVs for an enterprise, contact your
local Omron sales office for assistance.
1.3 Hardware Supplied with the Enterprise Manager 2100

Chapter 1: Introduction to the Enterprise Manager 2100
Optional Equipment
You can add a Secondary Enterprise Manager appliance, to provide redundancy for the
Primary appliance.
After you install a Secondary appliance, configure it to auto-synchronize with the Primary to
enable faster recovery of your AIVfleet operations should the Primary appliance fail for any
reason. The Secondary appliance contains a copy of the fleet data, including current jobs and
maps.
Equipment Not Provided with an Enterprise Manager 2100
You must provide the following:
l
A consistent power supply. Omron Adept Technologies, Inc. recommends that you use
an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). Contact your local Omron support for more
information.
l
Network infrastructure necessary for communication and optionally for redundant network communication when you use an optional Secondary appliance.
l
Omron Adept Technologies, Inc. Automated Intelligent Vehicles (AIVs), also known as
mobile robots.
l
Client computer - Compatible Windows PC clients to run MobilePlanner for remote
access to the appliance and AIVs. Each MobilePlanner instance requires a license key
for full operation.
1.4 Features of the Enterprise Manager 2100
Key features of the Enterprise Manager 2100 and the Mobile Robot Software Suite, running on
the Enterprise Manager appliance are:
l
Provides the ability to manage the configuration settings for an entire fleet of AIVs.
Each AIV obtains configuration data from the Enterprise Manager appliance, saving
you time and making configuration updates more reliable.
l
Optimizes traffic flow
The Enterprise Manager appliance shares each AIV's position and movement with
other AIVs in its vicinity. This enables each AIV to make dynamic route adjustments to
avoid potential conflicts.
l
Provides Queuing Manager functionality.
The Enterprise Manager appliance receives job requests from call buttons and factory
equipment management systems (WMS or MES), makes decisions about which job an
AIV receives, and provides real-time job status updates to connected automation equipment.
l
Economical use of wireless network bandwidth.
Each AIV exchanges information only with the Enterprise Manager appliance, rather
than communicating with every individual AIV.
l
Serves as a proxy for AIV status data, such as location, battery, and job.
1.5 Software Supplied with the Enterprise Manager 2100 Systems
This reduces the consumption of wireless bandwidth and enables all AIVs in a fleet to
connect to one central point. You can monitor all AIVs from a single application.
l
Low maintenance
The Enterprise Manager 2100 functions as an appliance, not a server. It runs reliably
with little human intervention and minimal maintenance by IT staff. It is dedicated
only to the task of robot fleet management and is unaffected by other services. If something happens to the appliance, you can replace it, recreate the configuration on the
replacement appliance and the replacement operates identically.
You can optionally configure an additional (redundant) Secondary appliance for faster recovery if the Primary appliance fails for any reason. See Add a Secondary Appliance for AutoSync
on page 54.
1.5 Software Supplied with the Enterprise Manager 2100
Systems
Your Enterprise Manager 2100 shipment includes a USB drive containing software and documentation. Before you install the hardware, install the software on a client Windows PC so
that you have access to the product documentation and Release Notes.
SetNetGo Operating System 4.9.x
SetNetGo runs on each AIV and Enterprise Manager appliance. It is the host operating system
(OS) in which fleet AIV software applications (ARAM and ARAMCentral) run.
You can use a Web browser to connect directly to SetNetGo on any AIV or Enterprise Manager
2100. This direct connection enables you to do configuration tasks through SetNetGo without
using the MobilePlanner user interface, which requires a license.
You use SetNetGo to configure the Ethernet settings for the platform, upgrading software, and
performing systems diagnostics, such as retrieving log files. You can access SetNetGo when
connected via the maintenance and management Ethernet ports, or via wireless Ethernet if
enabled.
There are several ways to access SetNetGo:
l
A direct Ethernet connection (Cat-V cable) between your PC client and the dedicated IP
address of the maintenance Ethernet port on the device (Enterprise Manager 2100 or
AIV.)
l
A Web browser over the network, using the SetNetGo Web user interface. After you configure the network, you access the interface through the assigned IP address of the
device on which SetNetGo runs.
l
The SetNetGo interface that is integrated into the licensed MobilePlanner software.
Mobile Robot Software Suite Version 4.9.x
The Mobile Robot Software Suite includes all of the software used for Omron Adept AIV's and
the Enterprise Manager appliance, with the exception of the SetNetGo OS, which is supplied
as a separate software package.
12Enterprise Manager 2100 User’s Guide14413-200 Rev. A
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Enterprise Manager 2100
MobilePlanner in Fully Licensed Mode
MobilePlanner runs on the Windows client PC. You use its graphical user interface to operate,
manage, and monitor your fleet of AIVs. You can also access SetNetGo directly form the
MobilePlanner GUI.
For your AIVs to perform autonomous mobile activities, you must make a map of its operating
space, and configure its operating parameters. After you generate a map for a workspace
where AIVs operate, you can share it between multiple AIVs in one fleet.
Use MobilePlanner to make the map and to perform this configuration. MobilePlanner software requires at least one license for each fleet of AIVs.
MobilePlanner in Operator Mode
Use MobilePlanner in Operator Mode to monitor one or more AIV's activities and have them
perform mobile tasks in the mapped space. When you start MobilePlanner without its license
dongle, it defaults to this mode. Refer to the separate Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide
for details.
ARAM
The Advanced Robotics Automation Management software (ARAM) runs on the AIV. It operates ranging sensors such as the safety scanning laser and sonar, and performs all the highlevel, autonomous robotics functions, including obstacle avoidance, path planning, localization and navigation, then sends motion commands to the MARC firmware. ARAM also
controls the battery and indicators, and manages digital and analog I/O, which, along with the
AIV battery power, provide for integration of application-specific sensors and effectors (usersupplied).
ARAM manages wired and wireless Ethernet communications with offboard software, for
external monitoring, development, and systems coordination, including coordination of a fleet
of AIVs through the Enterprise Manager 2100 system. It also manages integration with other
systems, as well as external monitoring, setup, and control with the MobilePlanner application.
ARAMCentral
ARAMCentral is the software manages the AIVfleet and runs on the Enterprise Manager
appliance. This software and the appliance combined are referred to as the Enterprise Manager
2100.
The ARAMCentral software distributes and manages the following resources and data for all
Fleet AIVs:
l
The shared workspace map.
l
The shared configuration.
l
Traffic control. This includes multi-AIV avoidance, destination, standby, and dock control.
The Advanced Robotics Command Language (ARCL) is a simple, text-based command and
response server for integrating an AIV (or fleet of AIVs) with an external automation system.
ARCL is similar to a command-line interface (CLI)or a scripting function.
ARCL enables you to operate and monitor the AIV, its accessories, and its payload devices
over the network, whether or not you use MobilePlanner.
Mobile Adept Robot Controller (MARC)
At the lowest level, a microcontroller running MARC firmware handles the details of platform
mobility, including maintaining the platform’s drive speed and heading, as well as acquiring
sensor readings, such as from the encoders and gyroscope, and managing the platform’s emergency stop systems, bumper, and joystick. The MARC firmware computes and reports the platform’s odometry (X, Y, and heading) and a variety of other low-level operating conditions to
ARAM.
Peripheral Devices
l
Touchscreen Support—The Mobile Software suite includes support software for the
optional AIVtouchscreen user interface device.
l
Call/Door Box Support—Call/Door Boxes are devices that you can use to summon an
AIV remotely. These devices contain one software component on the boxes and while
the other persists on either the Enterprise Manager 2100 or on single AIV, (when there
is no Enterprise Manager 2100).
1.6 Supported Enterprise Manager 2100 Deployments
This section provides an overview of potential deployment scenarios so that you can plan
your EM2100 deployment. Later sections describe the detailed configuration steps.
The Enterprise Manager 2100 (EM2100) is a replacement upgrade for the Enterprise Manager
1100, (EM1100) which is end-of-life. The EM2100 remains backward compatible with the
EM1100 for mixed-model Autosync configurations. However, to support mixed model Autosync, you must:
l
