Inductive guidance (IZF)
System description
General
If your industrial truck is
guided using inductive
steering control, press th
e shift button (1)
before the truck is driven
into and out of
the aisle. All other opera
tion processes
correspond to the standar
d design.
A frequency generator (2) provides an AC
supplytoawireinstalledinthefloor(3).
This AC supply is registered as a signal by
antennas that are installed in the industrial
truck, and is used to guide the truck. A
computer drives the industrial truck along
the wire groove after the signals are analysed.
Extensive safety circuits and a diagnostic
program simplify service work on the system.
The operating devices for inductive steering
control are integrated into the operating panel.
The display indicates the current operating
status of the system. After the controller is
switched on, a self-test runs in the steering
control system. Switch (1) on the operating
panel is used to switch from manual driving
mode to automatic driving mode.
