Robot Power System Integration Guide

Prepare battery, BMS, charger, docking, power rail, protection, grounding and wiring documentation inputs for robot power reviews.

Who should use this

AMR, AGV, service robot, inspection robot and mobile platform teams defining power distribution or charging interfaces.

Hardware decision

The guide helps gather power architecture and document inputs before an integration package RFQ or controlled file request.

Prepare before RFQ

Bring battery pack, BMS, charger, docking contact, power rails, voltage range, peak and continuous current, load profile, protection, grounding, isolation, precharge, communication and controlled documentation notes.

Start power system review Start related hardware review

When to use this guide

Start here if the hardware question affects sourcing, files or RFQ review.

  • A mobile robot power path spans battery, charger, docking, load distribution or protection devices.
  • Power file requests need wiring diagrams, interface maps, datasheets or compliance records.
  • You need to define review boundaries before asking for a power system integration package.

Key engineering decisions

Voltage and load profile

Document nominal and maximum voltage, peak current, continuous current, motor load and auxiliary load cases.

Battery, BMS and charger interface

State BMS CAN, RS485 or UART communication, charger model, docking contact, precharge and power status signal requirements.

Protection and isolation

Identify fuse, breaker, relay, contactor, grounding, isolation and emergency shutoff boundaries.

Documentation package

Prepare wiring diagram, interface map, datasheet bundle, compliance document request and validation notes.

RFQ preparation checklist

Include these inputs before asking for quote or document review.

  • Battery pack and power rail voltage range
  • BMS CAN / RS485 / UART
  • Charger and docking contact dependency
  • Peak and continuous current
  • Load profile
  • Fuse / breaker / relay / contactor
  • Grounding, isolation and precharge
  • Wiring diagram, interface map, datasheet bundle and controlled records

Engineering file considerations

Document access depends on file type and review context.

  • Power wiring diagrams, interface maps, datasheets and compliance records should be tied to the robot platform and deployment boundary.
  • Native CAD, internal BOM and supplier-sensitive records may require controlled access review.
  • Documentation support does not certify the customer power system.
