General
(1) Operating principle
UBG-05LN is an obstacle detection sensor with 785nm wavelength laser light source. It detect objects in the
predefined area by scanning 180°semicircle and calculates the coordinates of the detected object by measuring
its distance and angle. The product is laser class 1 safe.
(2)Detecting area setting
Shape of detecting and setting value can be changed by PC(RS-232C). Detecting distance with 3 steps output
for each detecting area can be set.

3. Functions
3-1. How to set detecting area
It can set detecting area which was made by software with serial input/output.
3-2. Stop emission
When AGV is under suspension, we recommend to use emission-stop function because of preventing the
interference. This sensor suspends the emission of LED when all input(1 to 5) are getting ON(L level).
CAUTION
It takes approx. 1sec. from releasing emission-stop input to rebooting.
3-3. Setting detection area pattern changeover
Setting detection area pattern can be changed with [Input 1], [Input 2], [Input 3], [Input 4] and [Input 5].
CAUTION
If area is changed by outer input, response time is getting slower.(Changeover time with approx. 100msec
is added to response time.)
3-4. Trouble output
When revolution of scanner(Motor) stopped or it didn't receive the laser beam at the standard point, trouble
output(Output 4) is executed. Also, output 1, 2 and output 3 is getting the state with detecting any obstacle.
and power lamp flickers with 1 sec interval.
3-5. Hysteresis changeover
When it sets the detecting area near wall, make hysteresis small. If wall surface is within hysteresis range of
detecting area, output doesn't return.(After AGV or human being passed the detecting area, it detects wall
surface and AGV can't move.)
