UG-230 User Manual

Applicable scene

The crane system is generally used in large crane warehouses to determine the location of the materials to be lifted by distance measurement, which is convenient for the management of warehouse materials.

In the following description, the UWB gateway(UG-230) is configured in anchor mode and the UWB Tag(UT-207-HO) is configured in tag mode. The gateway is installed on the line crane through mounting ears and configured to work mode through the RS485 port.

1.1 X、Y axis ranging

The system structure is shown in Figure 1. The black vertical line is the big traffic track, the blue horizontal line is the big traffic, the white box is the small traffic, and the red arrow is the direction coordinate system. When driving, the big crane moves along the Y-axis direction on the big crane track, while the small crane moves along the X-axis direction on the big crane. Take carriage 1 as an example. Tag1 is installed on small carriage 1, Anchor is installed on big carriage 1, and Tag4 (fixed equipment) is installed at the end of the big carriage track. During driving operation, X1 is obtained through mutual distance measurement between Anchor1 and Tag4, and Y1 is obtained through mutual distance measurement between Tag1 and Anchor·, then the coordinates of small driving vehicle 1 (X1, Y1). By analogy, the coordinates of car 2 (X2, Y2), and the coordinates of car 3 (X3, Y3). In general, Anchor transmits the coordinates to PLC (provided by the integrator) through the 485 bus, and the PLC transmits the data to the management platform.

1.2 X、Y、Z axis ranging

The system structure is shown in Figure 2. The black vertical line is the large traffic track, the blue horizontal line is the large traffic, the white box is the small traffic, the red arrow is the direction coordinate system, and the purple pattern is the hook. When driving, the big crane moves along the Y-axis direction on the big crane track, and the small crane moves along the X-axis direction on the big crane. At the same time, the hook moves along the Z-axis defensive line (that is, moves up and down). Take carriage 1 as an example, install Tag1 on small carriage 1, Anchor1 on the big carriage, install Tag4 (fixed equipment) at the end of the big carriage track, and install Tag5 on the hook 1. During driving operation, X1 is obtained through mutual distance measurement between Anchor1 and Tag4, Y1 is obtained through mutual distance measurement between Tag1 and Anchor·, and Z1 is obtained through mutual distance measurement between Tag5 and Tag, then the coordinates of hook 1 (X1, Y1, Z1). By analogy, the coordinates of hook 2 (X2, Y2, Z2), and the coordinates of hook 3 (X3, Y3, Z3). In general, Anchor transmits the coordinates to PLC (provided by the integrator) through the 485 bus, and the PLC transmits the data to the management platform.

1.3 Z axis ranging

The system structure is shown in Figure 3. The white box is a small driving car and the purple pattern is a hook. When driving, the hook moves along the Z-axis direction (ie: moves up and down). Take drive 1 as an example, install Tag1 on trolley 1 and Tag4 on hook 1. During driving operation, Z1 is obtained by mutual distance measurement between Tag1 and Tag4, then the coordinate of hook
1 (Z1). By analogy, the coordinates of hook 2 (Z2), the coordinates of hook 3 (Z3). In general, Tag1 (Tag on the trolley) transmits the coordinates to the PLC (provided by the integrator) through the 485 bus, and the PLC then transmits the data to the management platform.

Precautions

  1. When UG-230 is installed on site, it is necessary to keep the equipment on the same horizontal line, and the line of sight between the equipment must be without any obstruction. They will be installed at fixed locations in the warehouse.
  2. For driving close to the wall, the UG-230 at the corner can be installed away from the wall, and the distance can be measured diagonally.
  3. In X, Y and X, Y, and Z scenarios, you must turn off debugging information printing and Z-axis output printing, that is, ensure that the command SHJS_DEBUG is “0” and Z_PRINT is “0”. UG-230 sends a message to the receiver only when the associated receiver is turned on; UG-230 will not send messages when the associated receiver is turned off.
  4. In the Z-axis mode, the minimum probability output value is “0”.
  5. UG-230 antenna need to be installed by professionals in specific application scenario.
