    Introduction HG G-73650ZD wheels have to be entered with utmost accuracy. Consequently for new projects a comprehensive testing of the settings with a jacked-up vehicle within a closed down section of the plant is always recommended. ATTENTION!

  • Page 12: The Odometry

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD If the internal sensor fusion is used, the position of the vehicle is calculated from the odometry, initialized and corrected by the transponder antenna and/or the GPS sys- tem. The transponder antennas will then be connected via CAN bus. Additionally their posi pulse has to be connected with IO-3 (see manual of the antenna).

  • Page 18: The Transponder List

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD If the vehicle is also controlled by a driver (manual mode) it sometimes happens that the transponders are not crossed directly anymore. This results in an increasing dete- rioration of odometry accuracy. Since the system normally is not switched- off the only remaining possibility for initialization for a single antenna system then is the second alternative.
  • Page 19: Coordinate Systems

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD 2.4 Coordinate Systems Within the Control Unit different coordinate systems are in use. Segments and tran- sponders refer to the local coordinate system (e.g. the coordinate system of the area). All components of the vehicle refer to the vehicle coordinate system.
  • Page 20: Characteristics Of The Coordinate Systems

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD When the GPS system is used either a local base station (origin) or the country coordinate system are used. If no local base station is used the necessary GPS correction data (wireless) have to be leased from a local provider.
  • Page 21: Reconstruction Of The Route (Segments)

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD Distances are slightly distorted. When using a local GPS base station a flat coordinate system is projected tangentially in north heading onto the ellipsoid. The base station then marks the origin. This still re- sults in projection errors.
  • Page 22: The Segment File

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD The closer the support points lie to one another the more precisely the tracking will cor- relate with the virtual track. However, very close distances between the points are un- necessary where large vehicles are concerned because the vehicle cannot be driven that accurately.

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD The navigation controller's CAN Box answer has a similar structure. This box indicates the current status of the segments in the navigation controller. The transmission of seg- ments in the Feldbus telegram is less complicated, here always 8 segments are trans- mitted together.

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD attribute is switched off while the vehicle still drives with offset, the vehicle stops with an error message. Therefore a free attribute should mark the end of the offset mode early enough before the vehicle is supposed to switch back to the track.
  • Page 29: Stop Distance

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD In this example it is possible to tell the control unit to not attempt to steer right but to steer the wheel left with the attribute „Steer inverse“. Then enough steering angle is available to drive the curve.

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD 2.5.3.4 Spot Turn The spot turn is a special maneuver that enables to turn the vehicle on a point. It is needed to change the direction of the vehicle with minimum need for space. Spot tunr can be enabled via the corresponding attribute for the first support point of a segment.

  • Page 33: Speed Calculation

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD 2.6.1 Speed Calculation The speed is obtained from the information of the segment's support points. Here the velocity of the support point just passed and the upcoming support point is interpolat- ed. Which of the two support point velocities ("speed endpoint" or "speed connection") is selected depends on whether the vehicle shall stop at the segment's end or not.

"ForwardDis Var" results from the multiplica- tion of the corresponding parameter and the actual velocity in m/s. All steering angles of the vehicle are then calculated in such a way that the points "Virtual Point Front"...
  • Page 35: Guidance Of A Non-Omnidirectional Vehicle

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD 2.6.4 Guidance of a non-omnidirectional Vehicle A non-omnidirectional vehicle has the fundamental disadvantage that it is unable to drive sideways to the segment. This is why the vehicle has to be steered towards the segment's direction at first to minimize deviations.
  • Page 36: Driving Modes

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD When the vehicle travels backwards, it is mirrored at the fixed axle. Figure 24 above shows the real vehicle plotted with thick lines and the mirror-image with thin lines. In this case the vehicle control is depending on the point "Virtual Point Rear". If this point is controlled the fixed axle follows and the control is stable again.
  • Page 37: Remote Control Mode

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD 2.6.5.4 Remote Control Mode In this mode the vehicle can be remote-controlled via the navigation controller. The only pre-settings here are the steering angle and the speed. Then the navigation con- troller calculates the speeds and steering angles of the individual wheels.

    Basic Principles of Track Guidance HG G-73650ZD 2.7 Communication with the Vehicle Control (e.g. PLC) The navigation controller communicates with the vehicle PLC via CAN Bus or Feldbus. The vehicle PLC adapts the navigation controller to the vehicle. This offers the advan- tage of a standard interface.

    Commissioning HG G-73650ZD In doing so, a reserve for the values determined is to be kept. If, for example, a devi- ation of 10 cm is determined at some positions, but at most positions only a maximum of 3 cm, it is a good idea to set the 'Deviation Attribute' in the segment file only at the few positions that have the 10 cm error: Set the parameter Deviation Attribute 1 to 15 cm and the parameter Deviation Attribute 0 to 6 cm.

    Commissioning HG G-73650ZD The target steering angles should also be set as precisely as possible. For example, if a dead band of one degree is permitted, the vehicle will oscillate around the target line. That happens because the vehicle moves so far from the target track until the tar- get steering angle exceeds the dead band.
