17 Glossary
Access parameters
Access parameters define how the robot enters and leaves the station. They only need
to be defined for robots returning to stations that use a positioning beacon. They define
the direction taken to return to the station and the distances used for the maneuvers. See
(page 78).
Start zone
Start zones define the distances used in the maneuvers when the robot leave the station,
or where it will start mowing in a particular parcel. See
(page 80).
Border mode
When the robot cuts the grass at the very edge of the field. This is done a number of
times per week. Border mode is only used for a mono-field installation using a positioning
beacon.
Entity
A collection of robots and users that operate within a site. Information about the robots in
an entity can be viewed on the web server.
Field
An area of grass to be mowed with a defined boundary. This boundary is defined by a
single peripheral wire.
Island
A loop in the peripheral wire specially installed to prevent the robot mowing inside it. The
peripheral wire is taken around the obstacle and the approach and return wires laid next
to each other.
Loopstep
A movement the robot makes when returning and leaving a charging station associated
with a positioning beacon. During the loopstep, the robot turns through a right angle
between the peripheral wire and the track border.
