Detailed description of the invention
A kind of AGV means of communication provided by the invention, for realizing the communication of AGV and central control system, AGV is provided with wireless communication module, central control system is connected to the wireless access points in multiple operation area being distributed in AGV, wireless communication module is connected by described wireless access points with central control system, described wireless access points is provided with two or more, is distributed in the operation area of AGV;In the walking process of AGV, wireless communication module on AGV by threshold value switchover policy and and Authentication mechanism in advance, rationally, promptly with wireless access points switching over, be connected, all-the-time stable ground keeps carrying out real-time information interaction with central control system。
Referring to Fig. 1, described threshold value switchover policy is specific as follows:
AGV relative movement between AP (i.e. wireless access points), make the signal intensity that wireless communication module receives each AP that change to occur, then necessarily communication quality is impacted (as shown in Figure 1 to a certain extent when wireless communication module receives the AP signal intensity attenuation of built vertical connection, X-direction is the direction of AGV run location change, and Y-axis is the signal that wireless communication module receives)。
Set the lowest limit receiving semaphore intensity instruction RSSI (ReceivedSignalStrengthIndication), if the received signal strength indicator of wireless communication module and current associated AP is less than this threshold value (i.e. C point in Fig. 1), then now have to be off connecting, the foundation choosing signal in the AP completing authentication the strongest connects, and the size of threshold value is configured according to practical situation。This strategy ensures communication quality, is avoided that again and excessively switches continually between the aps, expends the resource of system。
Described Authentication mechanism in advance is specific as follows:
Each AP connects signal to the radiation of AGV travel region, and AP is more big with the distance of radiation areas, and the intensity connecting signal will be more little。If it is too little to connect signal, wireless communication module both cannot scan this AP。So each AP radiation forms detectable region, when AGV is in detectable region, communication for information can be carried out with corresponding AP。
Being AGV walking path referring to Fig. 2, S, L region is the detectable region of AP1, and Zone R is the detectable region of AP2, and M is L region and the overlapping region in Zone R territory。By Fig. 2 direction opened, AGV walks from left to right, and in walking process, wireless communication module constantly carries out active scan, finds attachable AP, when walking to L region, carries out authentication with AP1, and realizes connecting。AGV continues to advance to the right, and wireless communication module proceeds scanning, enters M region, AP2 signal can be detected, now can carry out authentication with AP2 in advance。After being verified, the information of AP2 is saved, but disconnection will not be carried out with the AP1 originally associated simultaneously, without sending out frame immediately to AP2 request association, remain in that original state, namely keep normal with the AP1 originally associated and connect。Movement along with AGV, the AP1 signal of previous association can progressively be decayed, when the signal that wireless communication module detects AP2 is stronger, threshold value switchover policy is adopted dynamically to judge, first with the AP1 disconnection of previous association, owing to previous station completes authentication with AP2, now avoid the need for repeating checking, directly can send out frame request association to AP2, set up associated connection, complete roaming switch。In whole handoff procedure, setting up the consuming time shorter of association, wireless communication module can keep connecting all the time, and the communication between AGV and central control system is without being greatly affected。
Described wireless access points is evenly arranged along AGV walking path, makes each wireless access points radiate AGV operating path equably, makes keep in AGV walking process with central control system that to carry out stable information mutual。In order to improve the stability of signal transmission, described wireless communication module is WIFI module。In AGV traveling process, wireless communication module is scanned with frequency 50Hz, carries out authentication with the wireless access points receiving signal。The wireless access points that wireless communication module can select signal higher is made to be attached。
As a kind of preferred version: described wireless access points presets ssid respectively, it is simple to AGV identifies each different wireless access points, can choose suitable wireless access points exactly and be attached。
In order to avoid each wireless access points is disturbed, described wireless access points is preset password respectively, and the wireless communication module on described AGV is provided with the password being connected with each wireless access points accordingly。
For being connected to following two mode between central control system and wireless access points:
The first: it is wired connection between described central control system and wireless access points, makes the signal transmission between central control system and wireless access points more stable。
