Driver Module for the SSI Schäefer Mobile Racking

Driver Module for the SSI Mobile Racking

This module will integrate an SSI Mobile Racking system into SHARK. It allows aisles to be opened automatically when needed.

The Mobile Rack must support remote control by the NGKP2 protocol.

Enable the interface option as shown.

Check and configure if needed the communication setup. These parameters must also be set in SHARK

The IP address is required

The configuration of the module is done in the SHARK Registry:

The device is created below Devices.MobileRack.

The instance name must be the zone name.

Configuration for a mobile rack in zone A

A mapping table from the SHARK aisle number to the mobile rack number must be specified. They might be a one-to-one mapping as the example below.

Mapping of SHARK aisle numbers to the numbers used by the mobile rack

The normal way is that the PDA client is controlling the mobile rack. This is enabled by enabling “Shark Control Embedded” in the SHARK Web Server.

Configure Gator to load the drivers to run embedded in the Web Server

Aisles can be opened directly from the SHARK WCS interface, either by Telnet or by opening a SHARK WCS client. Accepted commands:

MOBILERACK:A:OPEN <aisle number>
