bout safety

CAUTION

Do not install the antenna in a place surrounded by metallic members.

Install the antenna 200 mm or more away from the oor.

Do not apply any shock to the antenna.

Do not pull or bend the cable or cord forcibly.

Install the antennas at the highest possible positions where the antennas can be seen together.

Install the antenna so that it is not parallel to cables or metallic plates.

Install the antenna away from any cable, metallic plates, concrete, plasterboard, lumber, and wall surfac-

es as much as possible (300 mm or more).

Install the antennas of the different wireless units 2 m or more away from each other.

When installing the antenna, adjust the antenna direction.

Set the ID of the wireless intersection module so that it is not duplicated. Do not use duplicate IDs.

Set the ID to 900 to 999 in the ground station mode.

An incorrect approach may occur depending on the communication status. Widen the range of the obstacle

sensor as much as possible inside the intersection.

Use the wireless intersection modules with the same software version in the same system.

The wireless intersection modules with different software versions cannot be used.

Do not modify this product.

About the wireless module

3-2-1. Features of the wireless module

Easy

intersection control

The wireless units communicate with each other to determine whether passing through the intersection is

possible or not. Therefore, the AGV

does not need to perform the

intersection control.

Antenna selection

You can select a pencil type antenna

or anged antenna depending on the

application.

Multiple

operation modes

The address sensor mode, RFID mode,

ground station mode, and external con-

trol mode are available as operation

modes.

Radio frequency

channel change

You can select a radio frequency from 15 channels. An optimal fre-

quency band without interference

can be easily selected.

Easy installation

The wireless intersection module

can be installed on a Creform pipe using

the wireless intersection module box

or wireless intersection module

mounting bracket.

Wireless com-

munication distance

The wireless communication

distance may vary depending on the

installation location (environment). The

following distance is used as a guide.

• Indoor placement with good visibility, About 15 m (Environment in which the antennas

can be seen together and are installed

at high positions, and there are no

obstacles around the antennas.)

Note: Field research is need-

ed.

ê 4. Accessories

3-2-2. Overview of the wireless module

• The wireless module units communicate with each other to perform the intersection control.

• Instructions regarding the entrance and exit of the intersection are sent to the wireless intersection modules by the

address sensor, RFID antenna, course 30 unit, and external unit that sends various output signals. In addition, the

wireless intersection modules installed on the AGVs communicate with each other to determine whether passing

through the intersection is possible or not.

Basically, the order of passing through the intersection is set in the order of arrivals.

• If the communication status is unstable due to a long distance of wireless communication or due to effects of

obstacles caused by the layout, install the wireless intersection module on the ground and use it in the ground

station mode. The radio wave then easily reaches and avoids the effects caused by obstructions.

One ground station can control four intersections.

• You can select the intersection control by connecting signals from the wireless intersection modules installed on

the AGVs with each other or the intersection control by sending inquiries to the ground station for each intersection

address.

For the intersection control by setting the wireless intersection modules to communicate with each other, up to eight wireless intersection modules can be used for one intersection. (Total number of units that are passing through the intersection and units that are waiting at the same time. For example, one unit is passing and seven units are waiting at the same time.) In addition, when the intersection control is performed using the ground station, one ground station can control up to four intersections.

This signal is output when IN10 of the wireless intersection module installed on the AGV that is passing through the intersection turns ON during communication with the wireless intersection module in the ground station mode. The arrival output of the AGV needs to be connected to IN10.

These signals become inputs to permit the approach to the intersection when the intersection control is performed using the ground station. To use these signals, set ON in “Trigger” and set a desired input IN1 to 7 in “Trigger IN No.” using the parameter settings of the FCU-RC01 setup software. For details, see “10-8 Trigger setting”.

Contents Signal Description

OUT1 Start This signal is output to start the AGV that is waiting at the intersection. OUT2 Stop This signal is output to stop the AGV at the intersection. OUT3 - OUT4 Normal The output turns OFF if an error occurs in the wireless unit. OUT5 Passing This signal is output while the AGV is passing through the intersection. OUT6 - -

IN8 AGV error

IN9 Intersection inquiry

IN10 AGV arrival

IN11 Intersection top priority

IN12 Battery voltage drop

IN13 Reset This signal resets the intersection information.

Instructs the intersection address. 1 to 127 can be selected for the intersection address using decimal numbers.

Turning ON this signal after specifying the intersection address starts the intersection control. After that, turning OFF the signal completes passing through the intersection. Note: Do not turn ON this signal, intersection address input, or intersection top priority input at the same time. Be sure to turn ON this signal 100 ms or longer after turning ON the intersection address input and intersection top priority input.

There is a waiting AGV with the intersection top priority input turned OFF at the intersection, and then an AGV with the intersection top priority input turned ON becomes waiting. In this case, when passing through the intersection is enabled, the AGV with the intersection top priority input turned ON passes through the intersection prior to the AGV that is waiting beforehand. It is necessary to turn ON this signal before the intersection inquiry input.
