The frequency generator generates an AC current in a conductive loop for track guiding Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). The board hosts two independent generators with power amplifiers and a transformer for DC-decoupling. Frequencies are stored in an EPROM and may be selected by using either the 16 position HEX switch or 4 digital inputs.

Both generators undergo voltaic conversion through a different transformer, are therefore separately adjustable and are set to give a constant output level. Short circuit and circuit breaks are detected and indicated by LEDs on the front panel.

Each generator provides 2 sets of separate connectors for connecting a short loop or a long loop. The maximum load impedance and current differs between short and log loop by a ratio of approximately 1:2. The trim potis ‘Strom 1’, ‘Strom 2’ are affecting both outputs simultaneously.

For load impedances higher than 100 Ohms the inductive reactive component can be balanced by a capacitor which has to be assembled on the board (use output „loop closure long compensated“). The capacity has to be determined for each application.

In addition the frequency generator supports stacking. This means that the two generators on the board can be connected in series. Thus a loop can be fed with twice the impedance.
