Inductive guidance (IZF)
System description
General
If your truck is guided using inductive guid-
ance, the shift (1) button must be pressed
before the truck is guided onto the induction
track and before leaving the track. This switch
in the operating panel is used to switch from
manual steering to automatic steering. All
other operation processes correspond to the
standard truck.
A frequency generator (2) provides an AC
supplytoawireinstalledinthefloor(3).
This AC supply is registered as a signal
by antennas that are installed in the truck,
and is used to guide the truck. A computer
drives the truck along the wire groove after
the signals are analysed. Extensive safety
circuits and a diagnostic program simplify
system servicing work. The operating devices
for inductive guidance are integrated into the
operating panel. The operating status display
indicates the active operating status (4) of the
system. After switching on the control system,
a self-test runs in the guidance system.
