Shelf legs triggering Protective stop on MiR600 and MiR1350
When MiR600 or MiR1350 were transporting shelves, the shelf legs could sometimes cause the robot to enter Protective stop, even though the shelf design met MiR specifications. If you have this issue, you can apply SICK configuration file version 6.5 where the shelf leg cutouts have been extended on the inner side to increase the shelf leg tolerance. You can download this file from the robot interface on software 2.14.4 under System > Robot setup. You need to use the latest version of SICK Safety Designer software to apply the new configuration file.
The new SICK configuration file does not have any other effect on the robot’s performance or safety. All new robots shipped with 2.14.4 software have the new SICK configuration applied in production.
CAN bus nodes disconnected after updating
Sometimes, after you update a MiR robot, the CAN bus nodes would not boot up correctly. When this happened, the robot could not connect to the proximity boards, GPIO board, and brake controller board even after restarting the robot multiple times. This has now been solved so the CAN bus nodes boot up correctly.
Robots failing to swap charging stations automatically if one of the charging robots can not be sent to Staging position
If all Charging stations in a fleet are occupied, and a robot needs to be sent to charge, the Auto charging function tries to swap this robot with one of the charging robots. If the first robot that MiR Fleet evaluated for being swapped could not be sent to any Staging positions, the swap failed. MiR Fleet did not evaluate any of the other charging robots, and the waiting robot was never sent to a Charging station. This has now been solved.
MiR Fleet canceling Charging and Staging missions immediately after assigning them
MiR Fleet would sometimes assign a Charging or Staging mission to an idle robot and immediately cancel the mission with the reason that the robot is still executing its previous action. This has now been solved so robots are sent to and from charging stations correctly with MiR Fleet.
