Inductive guidance IZF
System description
General
If an industrial truck is guided using inductive
steering control, the shift button (1) must be
pressed before the industrial truck is driven in-
to and out of the aisle. All other operation pro-
cesses correspond to the standard design.
A frequency generator (2) provides an AC
supply to a wire installed in the floor (3). This
AC supply is registered as a signal by anten-
nas that are installed in the industrial truck,
and is used to guide the industrial truck.
The IZF controller calculates a steering angle
based on the lateral deviation between the
centre of the antennas and the guide wire.
The steering angle is used to guide the indus-
trial truck along the wire groove.
The operating devices for inductive steering
control are integrated into the operating panel.
The display indicates the current operating
status. 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 between manual driving mode and au-
tomatic driving mode.
Commissioning
Extensive safety circuits in the controller and a
diagnostic program simplify service work on
the system. When commissioning the industri-
al truck, the system must be configured for
and calibrated with the customer's guide sig-
nal. Afterwards, a function and safety test
must be carried out. Our diagnostic program
provides the specifications for this purpose.
