Features of the wireless module Multiple operation modes Easy intersection control The address sensor mode, RFID mode, ground station mode, and external control mode are available as operation modes. 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. Radio frequency channel change You can select a radio frequency from 15 channels. An optimal frequency band without interference can be easily selected. Antenna selection You can select a pencil type antenna or flanged antenna depending on the application. Wireless communication 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 needed. 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. -7- 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. 4. A ccessories 4-1.

Installation and connections 8. I nstallation and connections 8-1. About installation place Strictly observe the following installation conditions when performing the installation. 1) Install the antennas at the highest possible positions where the antennas can be seen together. Since the radio wave with a high frequency is used, the straightness of the radio wave is strong and it is difficult to reach hidden places. Therefore, install the antennas at positions where the antennas can be simultaneously seen as much as possible. Antenna where the radio wave can reach. Transmitting antenna Obstacle, etc. Antenna where the radio wave is difficult to reach. Figure. Shadow of radio wave 2) Install the antenna 200 mm or more away from the floor. Since the antenna is installed in an open space where its installation height is high, it becomes difficult for obstacles to affect the antenna and the radio wave transmits easily. If the antenna position is extremely low, the radio wave transmitted from the antenna becomes weak. High antenna Low antenna Obstacle, etc. Figure. Height of antenna - 37 - ê 8. Installation and connections 3) Install the antenna so that it is not parallel to cables or metallic plates. In addition, install the antenna away from any cable, metallic plates, concrete, plasterboard, lumber, and wall surfaces as much as possible (300 mm or more). When there are obstacles around the antenna, the radio wave becomes obstructed and is not transmitted optimally. In particular, metallic objects affect the antenna greatly as it reflects the radio wave. When installing the flanged antenna on a Creform pipe, install it so that the Creform pipe does not affect the antenna as shown in the figure. Pipe must not protrude from here. Figure. Installation on pipe 4) When installing the antenna, adjust the antenna direction. Install the antennas so that they face in the same direction as shown in the figure. When the direction differs 90 degrees, the communication distance becomes short extremely. Figure. Correct direction Figure. Incorrect direction 5) Install the antenna at a position where an object does not hit it. The antenna is not designed so that it can be hit by an object. If any impact is applied to the antenna, it may be damaged. Even though the antenna may appear normal, wire breakage may occur inside the antenna, causing the communication to fail. - 38 - ê 8.

First, checking is performed in accordance with the monitoring time for permission to approach the intersection and the radio transmission count for checking the object approaching the intersection. If there is an AGV passing through the intersection, it will be stopped. When the wireless intersection module installed on the AGV that is passing through the intersection recognizes the intersection exit, it travels again. 3) Next, use the count tape to set the speed to a level at which the AGV enters the intersection. This count tape also turns ON external operation command 1 and external operation command 2 to 5 output.

Intersection If the intersection positions are changed using the count change operation of the course 30 unit (2nd and 3rd counts in the above example), be careful because the wireless intersection module starts the intersection control and outputs the start command after it determines that the AGV is passing through the intersection. A time lag occurs until the wireless intersection module recognizes the intersection, checks the wireless intersection unit that is passing through the intersection, and then it stops. If the AGV speed is fast, the AGV may stop at a position where it interferes with the AGV that is passing through the intersection. Adjust the count position where the intersection inquiry input is turned ON by the external operation command from the course 30 unit to a position without interference where the AGV can stop. 9-3-2.

Installation of count tapes If the intersection positions are changed using the count change operation of the course 30 unit (2nd, 3rd, 11th, and 12th counts in the above example), be careful because the wireless intersection module starts the intersection control and outputs the start command after it determines that the AGV is passing through the intersection. A time lag occurs until the wireless intersection module recognizes the intersection, checks the wireless intersection unit that is passing through the intersection, and then it stops. If the AGV speed is fast, the AGV may stop at a position where it interferes with the AGV that is passing through the intersection. Adjust the count position where the intersection inquiry input is turned ON by the external operation command from the course 30 unit to a position without interference where the AGV can stop. - 71 - ê 9.

Warranty period C aution When the power is turned OFF, and then turned ON again, the intersection information of the wireless intersection module is initialized. The waiting wireless intersection module cannot check the communication of the wireless intersection module that is passing through the intersection. The waiting wireless intersection module enters the passing status upon completion of checking specified by the monitoring time for permission to approach the intersection and radio transmission count for checking the object approaching the intersection. The intersection address is not retained when the power is turned OFF before the AGV is stopped by the command or count after the intersection address has been recognized by the address sensor or RFID antenna. It is necessary to travel the AGV again before the intersection address is recognized. Regardless of AGV traveling or stopping, when the intersection address is recognized by the address sensor or RFID antenna, the wireless intersection module recognizes that the intersection has been detected. Therefore, turn OFF the power when moving the AGV manually. 13. C ontents of warranty 13-1. Warranty period The warranty period of this product is one year after delivery to the specified location.
