GuardCom connections and communication 

 

As described in section 2 the GuardCom System takes care of the communication from robot to 
conveyor station.  

The line of communication and supply is illustrated here: 

 

Figure 11. Schematic overview of connections and communication through the GuardCom System from robot to conveyor station. 
From the left: 
The MiR robot supplies and communicates with the ROEQ top module. 
The GuardCom Connect is embedded into the ROEQ top module (section 4) and 
gets its signals and supply from here. 
The GuardCom Connect communicates with the GuardCom via light signals both ways. 
The GuardCom communicates with the conveyor station via a nine pin communication cable and is powered through a 24 V supply 
cable.
