Audio-Player for AGV
HG G-31500

During the operation of automated guided vehicles (AGV) there often is a demand to let the vehicle play notification sounds at specified positions throughout the track. For these applications Götting has developed the audio player HG G-31500-A.

During the operation of automated guided vehicles (AGV) there often is a demand to let the vehicle play notification sounds at specified positions throughout the track. For these applications Götting has developed the audio player HG G-31500-A.

Overview

  • Audio player for automated guided vehicles (AGV)
  • Control via CAN / digital inputs (PLC) / serial (RS 232) / buttons (function test)
  • Voltage supply range: 10 – 30 VDC
  • Supported formats: MP3/WAV
  • Slot for an USB stick with audio files, up to 255 files usable in the stick‘s root directory
  • Operating mode of the digital inputs (PLC) configurable: alternatively single evaluation (one of the first 5 tracks selectable) or binary evaluation (one of the first 31 tracks selectable)
  • Nominal output: 2 x 10 watt @ 4 Ohm (peak output max. 2 x 25 watt, to be taken into consideration when selecting loudspeakers)
  • Potentiometer for limiting the maximum volume
  • Configuration of interface parameters
  • Installation via mounting lugs / optionally top-hat rail mounting (s. Variants)

Interfaces

The voltage supply range of 10 – 30 V ensures that the player can easily be integrated into a vehicle.

  • CAN interface for the connection with the vehicle‘s CAN bus: Selection of one of up to 255 audio files, control of playback and volume.
  • Serial interface (RS 232): Selection of one of up to 255 audio files, control of playback and volume.
  • Five digital inputs via which e.g. a PLC can select audio files on the stick.

Variants

The audio player is available in two variants with the following mounting options:

  • Order No.: HG G-31500ZA
    Mounting lugs for fastening with screws
  • Order No.: HG G-31500YA
    In addition to the mounting lugs an adapter for top-hat rail mounting
