Research Of Experiment Platform For AGV Based On CAN Bus

A distributed control experiment platform for Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system is designed based on Field Bus technology and servo control technology. It is more independent between modules but more convenient for mutual communication because of the application of CAN Bus. Owing to the use of uniform communication agreement, we can avoid repeated bottom development or debugging of software and hardware. The development efficiency can be advanced greatly. Then there is no bottom barrier when we start the top development based on the communication agreement realized by the software. It is very simple to set the wheel speed or report the coordinate, Only to call a function .So the user do not always centers his attention on the bottom realization process, but the function realization or control algorithmic research. It is necessary for the open experiment platform.The distributed control experiment platform for AGV system based on Can Bus is presented and developed. According to the needs of the experiments ,CCD camera, photo-electricity sensors, approach sensors and ultrasonic sensors nodes can be installed to guide AGV. As is indicated in the research and simulation, self-turning Fuzzy PD Controller can control the AGV follow the target path rapidly and steadily, its performance of path tracking is superior to PD control.
