Introduction The Humatics Beacon is part of a system for determining the location of mobile devices, such as robots or other vehicles, so that the devices can determine and report their location. This information will be used by the robots to navigate through a variety of environments, as for example, in factories, warehouses and outdoor storage or loading areas. The location information computed by the mobile devices could also be shared with supervisory computers so that managers and operators can monitor the location of the mobile devices. The system consists of two key components: equipment mounted on the robot and a fixed infrastructure of reference units. The reference units act much like lighthouses along the seashore, or like GPS satellites, providing reference information by which the robots can determine their positions. More precisely, the mobile devices use an UltraWideband (UWB) radio and a distance measurement technique called Two Way Time of Flight range measurement to determine the distance from it to a UWB radio mounted in each of several fixed reference locations. By knowing the position of each reference and by measuring the distance between mobile’s UWB radio and the UWB radio at each fixed reference, the mobile can calculate its position. Once the mobile has calculated its position it can report that value to the infrastructure units. Humatics refers to these infrastructure reference units as “Beacons”. Units installed on the mobile units are called “Nodes”. This document describes both the Beacons and Nodes. Both consist of a C445 UWB radio mounted in a metal enclosure and both support the same UWB ranging protocols. They differ in that the software loaded on the Nodes is more sophisticated. Node software supports the localization function and other high-level functions as well. The units are provided with two input connectors. The primary connector supports Power Over Ethernet. If no Ethernet is available, then DC power can be provided through a secondary connector. The units can be visually distinguished by the color of their radomes and by the part number prominently displayed on the identifying label. Beacons have a yellow radome and Nodes have gray ones. The units are rated for operation in environments that require IP67. DRAFT ver 6 Beacon User Guide For more information, please visit www.humatics.com. 5 2. System Block Diagrams The block diagram in Figure 1 shows the major elements of a Beacon/Node and illustrates two different ways of connecting the device to power. Fig. 1: Block Diagram of a Beacon Notes: • Normally the units will be powered through either, but not both, the POE or AUX power cables. Precautions are in place on the C445 radio to ensure that concurrently connecting the POE and Aux power will be accomplished safely. • There are two indicating LEDs mounted on the enclosure. These LEDs are powered by the C445 Radio. One is a simple power on indicator. The second LED is a heartbeat signal which blinks at a fixed rate when the radio is operating normally. Failure to blink is an indication that the C445 has failed. DRAFT ver 6 Beacon User Gu…
