IO Box
About
• Ai Atom I/O Box – Work easily with I/O zones from MIR Map and Real World Based on the defined I/O zones on the map we can work with actuators / motors / etc.
• Ai Atom I/O Box – Work easily with I/O zones from MIR Map and Real World Based on the defined I/O zones on the map we can work with actuators / motors / etc. Based on a certain state of the input we can adjust PLC Number XXX from the robot (robots) so that further automation can be performed on the mission.
• The I/O box with Ai Atom can be used in two main options:
– Work with PLC registers
– Start or manipulate variables in the Missions
• Working with PLC registers:
– Inputs of I/O Box – Change the state of a PLC register on the Robots (control zones, wait for confirmations, etc)
– Output of I/O Box – Based on the state of PLC registers assigned from the Robots, events are generated as an output from the box.
• The I/O Box is available as:
• 3 In / 3 Out
• 6 In / 6 Out
• 8 In / 8 Out
• 20 In / 20 Out
• More configurations are being developed to include the SMART RGB buttons for visual configurations.
• Custom I/O is also available
• It can handle multiple Robots and Fleets.
• The I/O Box can communicate:
• Wireless
• LAN with Power Over Ethernet (POE)

Example
This happens from Outside World to MIR Map.
• Example – If there is machine / area under maintenance and the road is no longer available for the robot, the register XXX is changed to Y.
• When the robot is going to the decision point – with a simple if, else you can direct the robot to an alternative route. There are many scenarios here, including the one with forklifts working in the same area as MIR Robots.
• They all have one thing in common – use of PLC registers and the method to acquire the data.
• Example: if register 133 is changed on the robot to 1, the output number from the Box (Output number 3 for instance) is activated to control a conveyor system. When the part arrives, a sensor is detecting the presence of the goods on the conveyor, the Input number 3 from the BOX is used to stop the conveyor system. At the same time, it confirms to the Robot that it is safe to go further with the mission.
