Chapter 3: Fleet Manager Configuration and Operation The Fleet Manager capabilities within FLOW Core provide tools for programming and con- figuring individual AMRs and fleets, and for centralized job dispatch and real-time AMR mon- itoring within your facility. 3.1 EM2100 Configuration Overview This section provides instructions for setting up and connecting the AMRs and Fleet Manager to a network. Omron's EM2100 appliance provides the operating environment for the FLOW Core software. It will be the primary interface device to the network and any PC(s) running MobilePlanner.
The EM2100 appliance comes pre-loaded with a temporary, 120 day, FLOW Core license, which allows initial set-up, testing, and validation to begin immediately, without a full sub- scription license. A FLOW Core license must be purchased after the 120 day set-up period. Configuration Tasks Overview NOTE: This section assumes that you have read and followed the instructions in the EM2100 Installation Guide. To configure the EM2100 appliance, you must do the following tasks, which are described in detail later in this guide: l Configure the network settings for the appliance Management Ethernet port. l Configure the network settings for the FLEET ETH2 Ethernet port.
l Connect the Management and Fleet ports to the LAN. l Define the login information. l Configure each AMR to connect to the EM2100. l Customize each AMR, if desired. If you install a Secondary EM2100 appliance and configure Autosync, you must also: l Install the same FLOW Core software version on the Secondary as is on the Primary appliance. l Configure a unique IP address for the Management port. l Connect the Management port to the LAN. l Connect the FLEET ETH2 port to the LAN. l Enter the Secondary Management IP address on the Primary appliance. l Generate and download a key from the Primary appliance. 20569-020 Rev.
