B&Plus USA, Inc. Magnetic Navigation Sensor for AGV’s GS-2744B

GS-2744B is a magnetic navigation sensor designed for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), featuring a step analog voltage output that ranges from 2V to 8V. It operates with a power supply of DC 10.8V to 30V and has a maximum power consumption of 30mA. The sensor utilizes 15-bit MACOME magnetic sensor elements and includes an encoder and D/A converter, allowing it to detect the relative position between the sensor and magnetic guide tape. The device supports branch selection functionality, enabling it to adjust output based on the selected path (straight, right, or left) through an input signal. It also provides a gate signal indicating when it is within the controllable area of the magnetic guide tape. The operational temperature range is from -10 to +60¬8C, with a storage temperature of -20 to +70¬8C, and it is rated for an operational humidity of 35% to 90% RH (non-condensing). The GS-2744B has an IP-54 housing rating, indicating it is protected against dust and limited water exposure. It is important to maintain a minimum distance from magnetic materials to ensure accurate output. The sensor is compliant with the EU Directive on electromagnetic compatibility.
