Description

The TF02-i-CAN sensor utilizes Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser ranging technology to provide accurate, real-time distance measurements. Its narrow 3° field of view ensures precise targeting, while the integrated optical system is housed in a high-transmittance infrared shell for optimal performance. The module is engineered for stability across a wide -20°C to 60°C operating temperature range.

Designed for system integration, the sensor outputs distance data via a robust CAN bus interface, making it suitable for direct connection to industrial PLCs, vehicle ECUs, and flight controllers like Pixhawk and APM. The built-in signal conditioning and protective circuitry ensure reliable operation in electrically noisy environments.

Key Features

  • Centimeter-level accuracy with a relative error of ≤1% for precise ranging.
  • Configurable high-speed sampling rate from 1 Hz to 1000 Hz (default 100 Hz).
  • Low power consumption, averaging ≤70mA at 12V supply voltage.
  • Ruggedized construction with IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
  • Advanced optical design for high immunity to ambient light interference.
  • Integrated reverse polarity and overvoltage protection up to 40V.
  • Compact and lightweight form factor for easy integration into mobile platforms.

Applications

  • UAV and drone altitude hold, terrain following, and autonomous landing systems.
  • Industrial robot and AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) obstacle avoidance and navigation.
  • Vehicle detection, positioning, and counting for smart parking and toll gate systems.
  • Industrial level measurement in silos, tanks, and bins for volume monitoring.
  • Crane safety operations and proximity detection for collision avoidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for the TF02-i-CAN sensor?

The TF02-i-CAN communicates exclusively via the CAN bus (Controller Area Network) protocol. It does not support I2C, UART, or analog outputs. You will need a microcontroller or interface board with a CAN transceiver (like an MCP2515 module) to read the distance data frames from this sensor.

What is the power supply requirement for this LiDAR module?

The module requires a DC power supply between 7V and 30V. It features wide-input compatibility, making it suitable for vehicle systems (12V/24V) and industrial power rails. The module includes reverse polarity protection, safeguarding it against accidental incorrect wiring.

Can this sensor operate outdoors in bright sunlight?

Yes, the TF02-i-CAN is designed with high ambient light immunity and can operate reliably under conditions up to 100,000 lux, which includes direct sunlight. Its optical system and signal processing algorithms are optimized to reject interference from strong ambient light sources.

What is the mounting consideration given its 3° Field of View?

The narrow 3° Field of View (FOV) provides highly directional measurement, minimizing interference from objects outside the target area. For accurate sensing, ensure the sensor is precisely aimed at the target surface. This makes it ideal for applications like altitude measurement or detecting objects directly ahead of a vehicle or drone.

How do I interface this sensor with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

To connect to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, you will need an intermediate CAN bus shield or HAT (Hardware Attached on Top). For example, use an MCP2515-based CAN bus module with your microcontroller. The sensor's CAN data frames must then be parsed according to Benewake's communication protocol to extract the distance value.
