Introduction
2.1 Range of Use
The magnet sensor is intended for indoor usage.
On the surface of the track roadway compatible magnetic tape is layed. Alterna
-
tively a magnetic bar can be embedded into the roadway (see section 3.1 on
page 11).
The magnetic sensor is installed so that its underside faces the roadway and
meets the nominal reading distance towards the surface of the magnetic tape
(see section 3.2 on page 12).
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 magnetic sensor.
is trained sufficiently in mounting and configuring the magnet sensor and quali
-
fied 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.
2.3 Intended Use
The magnet sensor HG G-19603ZA is intended for the track guidance of automated
guided vehicles (AGV) along magnetic tape. The sensor detects the magnetic field
above magnetic tape in vertical and horizontal direction and thus continually deter
-
mines the actual deviation from the center of the track (center of the magnetic tape).
The deviation is output via the CAN/CANopen® interface.
DANGER
Missing protection equipment
The magnet sensor does not contain functionality to detect obstacles or persons
in front of a vehicle.
The vehicle manufacturer has to include suitable safety equipment.
