AKD BASIC Global Variables - Two Minutes of Motion Series

AGV systems receive orders from an overlaying host system. The AGV system ensures that the optimal: vehicle is given the order, route is selected, and more.

When an AGV receives a command it passes through a Control Loop. The Control Loop consists of software control functions and hardware components such as navigation sensor, vehicle controller, drive, encoder and motor. Control loops maintain accurate motion regardless of load weight or floor inclination. This enables AGVs to operate with precition and stability.
