Introduction
The inductive guidance sensor HG G-19370ZA is used for the inductive track guidance of
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). Up to 6 different guide wire frequencies may be detect-
ed and evaluated simultaneously. The frequencies may be chosen from the range 2 to
20 kHz and are configured via the USB interface. Additionally am incremental encoder for
the measurement of distance or speed may be connected directly to the sensor. All incre-
mental encoders can be used that have a switching threshold > 10 V between high level
and low level (typically 24V incremental encoders). The encoder values are also output via
the CAN bus.
2.1 Range of Use
•
The inductive guidance sensor is intended for indoor usage.
•
Inside the track a guide wire is layed that is operated in the frequency range 2 to
20 kHz.
•
The magnetic sensor is installed so that its underside faces the roadway and meets
the nominal reading distance towards the guide wire.
2.2 Qualification of the Users
The personnel intended to operate the magnetic sensor
•
has been provided with this documentation.
•
is familiar with the functionality of the inductive guidance sensor.
•
is trained sufficiently in mounting and configuring the magnet sensor and qualified to
perform those tasks.
•
knows the risks posed by driverless vehicles and is trained in the necessary safety
precautions to assess the safe operational state of the system.
All personnel in the area of influence of the magnetic sensor is instructed regarding the kind
of the vehicle and the risks resulting from the driverless operation.
