The ORI-SR system provides a remotely controlled “Safety
Interlock” for unmanned vehicles to allow for a safety operator
to remotely 'PAUSE / RUN' and 'ENABLE / DISABLE' one or more vehicles
at any time. The ORI-SR consists of two major components, first
the Safety Receiver, and secondly the Safety Transmitter. These
components are shown above. The Receiver is intended to be integrated
with the unmanned vehicle. The Transmitter is intended to be operated
by a human safety monitor/supervisor from a remote position. By
flipping toggle switches on the Transmitter, the relays and opto-isolated
digital outputs are manipulated on the Receiver. LED indicators
on the Transmitter reflect the acknowledged state of the Receiver.
In addition, if the radio link between the Transmitter and Receiver
is lost for any reason, the PAUSE and DISABLE outputs will automatically
assert after a programmable delay time.
For previous-revision DGCSR owners: An upgrade for a point-to-point
mode option which reduces the reaction time to less than 100 ms
(typical) is available for $250.00 plus shipping.
