Overview of LPR

-1D24 Unit
LPR
®
-1D24 is a highly precise radio sensor for distance measurement. Two paired units
allow for long range applications and enable additional data transfer at the same time. The
exact position of a moving machine component, e.g. a crane or crane trolley, can thus be
dynamically determined in real-time, while data collected at one end (e.g. a load cell input) is
available at the paired unit simultaneously.

In addition to the distance reading, the relative approach speed of the LPR
®
sensors is
available. Distance and speed can be used for internal collision avoidance decisions at
predetermined distance thresholds. Optional on-board relays will be activated. All data is
made available at standard interfaces.
The devices are easy to install and operate. Rough alignment between the facing units is
sufficient, even for very long distances. The multi-channel radio antenna is integrated into the
robust housing. A built-in terminal server allows straightforward configuration of the unit ID,
the paired unit ID and other parameters in any browser.

radio works highly reliable under adverse conditions. Interference with any WiFi
equipment operating in parallel can be excluded at all times. A unique ID per each unit allows
operating multiple pairs in immediate vicinity.

-1D24 sensors are maintenance-free and paired sensors can be interconnected with
other pairs, providing several distances at a single interface, e.g. for crane xy position
acquired by two sensor pairs.
