Description

The TFmini-i-CAN is an industrial-grade evolution of the TFmini-S platform, optimized for demanding applications. It utilizes time-of-flight (ToF) LiDAR technology with an 850nm infrared laser to provide precise, non-contact distance measurements. The module includes built-in signal conditioning and outputs data via a CAN bus interface, making it suitable for integration into vehicular, robotic, and automated industrial control systems.

Engineered for environmental resilience, the sensor operates across a -20°C to 70°C temperature range and is housed in an IP65 enclosure, protecting it from dust and water jets. Its wide supply voltage tolerance and integrated electrical protections ensure stable operation in electrically noisy environments common in automotive and factory automation settings.

Key Features

  • Industrial CAN Interface: Enables robust, multi-node communication over long distances with high noise immunity, ideal for vehicle and machinery networks.
  • Extended Voltage Range: Supports 7V to 30V DC input, compatible with 12V and 24V vehicle/industrial power systems without requiring a separate regulator.
  • Comprehensive Electrical Protection: Features reverse polarity protection and overvoltage protection up to 40V for enhanced system durability.
  • High Ambient Light Immunity: Maintains accurate ranging performance even under intense ambient light conditions up to 70,000 Lux.
  • Configurable Performance: Frame rate is software-configurable from 1Hz to 100Hz, allowing a balance between update speed and power consumption.
  • Compact & Durable Housing: IP65-rated enclosure ensures reliable operation in dusty or wet outdoor and industrial environments.

Applications

  • Autonomous Vehicle Testing: Precise obstacle and pedestrian detection for ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) validation and development.
  • Industrial Robotics: Collision avoidance and object positioning for robotic arms and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in warehouses.
  • Altitude & Height Monitoring: Measuring vehicle ride height, drone altitude hold, or material stack height in industrial silos.
  • Access Control & Security: People counting and presence detection at gates or in restricted areas.
  • Construction & Agriculture Machinery: Proximity sensing and implement control on heavy equipment operating in dusty, outdoor conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for the TFmini-i-CAN sensor?

The TFmini-i-CAN communicates exclusively via the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus protocol. This industrial-standard interface provides robust, noise-immune data transmission over longer distances, making it suitable for direct integration into automotive networks, industrial machinery, and multi-sensor systems without requiring additional protocol converters.

What power supply does this LiDAR module require?

It requires a DC supply voltage between 7V and 30V. This wide range makes it directly compatible with common 12V and 24V vehicle and industrial power systems. The module includes built-in reverse polarity protection and overvoltage protection up to 40V, safeguarding it from wiring errors and voltage spikes.

Can the TFmini-i-CAN operate outdoors?

Yes, its IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. Combined with an operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C and high 70,000 Lux ambient light immunity, it is well-suited for outdoor applications like vehicle testing, agricultural equipment, and external security systems.

How do I configure the sensor's frame rate?

The frame rate is software-configurable via commands sent over the CAN bus interface. You can adjust it from 1 Hz up to 100 Hz, allowing you to optimize the balance between measurement update speed and power consumption based on your specific application requirements.
