Choosing the Right Power Module for AGVs: TDC50-12S24 Power Module Workflow Analysis

Following the previous blog post, “How to choose an efficient DC/DC power module for AGVs?”, this article will take the TDC50-12S24 dc dc power module as an example to explain how this modular power supply is applied to Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) robot equipment. Vehicles (AGVs) robot equipment.

First understand the benefits of AGVs

AGVs offer many benefits in the manufacturing and warehousing industries, such as:

Increased efficiency and productivity.

AGVs increase productivity and efficiency and are predictable and reliable for routine tasks, due to their autonomous operation. AGVs eliminate unnecessary walking and the physical labor associated with moving materials. AGVs guide employees through each task, minimizing human error, which improves order picking accuracy and reduces product loss and misalignment.

Stabilized costs.

Because AGVs are typically purchased on a per-unit or lease term basis, costs are less variable than labor, which can vary based on market conditions and demand.

Flexibility.

Compared to other AGVs, some AGVs require the re-routing of guide lines or other infrastructure to adjust the vehicle’s route, while some AGVs have the flexibility to change routes. Automated guided vehicles are scalable because they can be expanded as needed.

Less space is required.

AGVs take up less space than other automation solutions such as conveyor systems. Some AGVs are more compact than forklifts and other traditional warehouse machinery, allowing floor plans to utilize available space more efficiently.

Improved Safety.

Finally, AGVs are a safe automation solution for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and warehouses.AGVs have sensors to help them avoid collisions. Advanced AGVs such as AMRs can plan the most efficient route through a warehouse or facility, reducing aisle congestion and the risk of accidents.

DC DC Power Supply Module Workflow Analysis

Battery: Serves as the starting point for the power supply, providing 12V or 24V input.
DC-DC converter (TDC50-12S24): Converts the battery voltage to the required 24V, supporting an output of 2.08A to ensure the stability of the motor control circuit.
Motor control circuit: utilizes the converted voltage to drive the movement of the AGV.

Advantages of the DC DC power supply module

1. High efficiency and stability

The high efficiency design of this module power supply, TDC50-12S24, performs well under different load conditions, and the efficiency usually reaches more than 90%. This means that during operation, the AGV can maximize the use of input power, reduce energy loss and extend battery life.

At the same time, the module provides stable output voltage and current, ensuring no fluctuations when the load changes. This stability is crucial to the normal operation of the AGV, which can effectively avoid performance degradation or system failure caused by unstable power, thus enhancing the reliability of the entire automated logistics system.

2. Compact design

The compact design of the TDC50-12S24 DC DC modular power supply makes it ideal for AGV systems with limited space.
Since AGVs are usually operated in small environments with limited internal space, choosing a compact power supply module leaves more room for other important components, such as controllers, sensors and drive motors.

In addition, the compact design not only reduces the overall weight of the AGV, but also makes the integration and installation process easier, thus increasing productivity.

3. Adaptable to a wide range of input voltages

The TDC50-12S24 power supply module’s ability to adapt to a wide range of input voltages (e.g., input range 9-18V or 9-36V) provides AGVs with great flexibility. The modules work reliably whether they are drawing power from different sources or battery packs, or are used in a variety of operating environments.

This adaptability allows the AGV to easily cope with different charging equipment or power conditions, ensuring continuous operation and reducing the overall complexity of the system.
