Use and Application

Intended Use
This device, when used together with a colored tape affixed to the floor and code tapes printed
with Data Matrix codes, constitute a high-resolution lane tracking and positioning system. It can
be used in all applications where automated guided vehicles (AGV) are to be positioned
precisely at marked positions along a given lane.
The read head forms part of the positioning system in the Pepperl+Fuchs incident light
process. The read head's features include a camera module and an integrated illumination unit.
The read head uses these features to detect a colored tape stuck to the floor or a painted color
lane to track the lane. The read head detects Data Matrix tags to navigate within a grid. The
read head also detects control codes and position markers in the form of Data Matrix codes
printed on a self-adhesive code tape. Data Matrix code tapes and Data Matrix tags have priority
over colored tapes or colored lanes.
The Data Matrix code tapes are installed in a fixed position instead of or along with the colored
tape. The read head is located on an automated guided vehicle (AGV) and guides this vehicle
along the colored tape.
Note!
Priority
Data Matrix code tapes and Data Matrix tags have priority over colored tapes or colored lanes.
If the read head detects a Data Matrix code tape or Data Matrix tags in the field of view, colored
tapes or colored lanes in the field of view are ignored.
