Description

The TF02-i-RS485 utilizes Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDAR technology to deliver accurate, non-contact distance measurements. Its single-point, unidirectional ranging is optimized for applications requiring precise altitude or distance data, such as drone terrain following and industrial level sensing. The module incorporates a protective shell with high infrared transmittance to maintain optical performance while shielding internal components.

Engineered for system integration, the sensor operates on a wide 7-30V DC input, making it compatible with industrial power supplies and vehicle systems. The RS485 interface ensures reliable communication over long distances, resistant to electromagnetic interference. Its IP65 rating guarantees protection against dust and water jets, supporting deployment in outdoor and challenging industrial environments.

Key Features

  • Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDAR principle for direct, accurate distance measurement.
  • Industrial-grade RS485 interface (Modbus protocol) for stable, long-distance communication.
  • IP65-rated enclosure provides dust-tight and water-jet protection.
  • High immunity to ambient light interference, capable of operating under 100,000 lux.
  • Wide operating temperature range supports deployment in variable climates.
  • Configurable frame rate from 1 to 1000 Hz allows balancing of speed and power consumption.
  • Low power consumption, typically ≤0.85W at 12V supply.
  • Narrow 3° field of view minimizes off-axis target interference for precise ranging.

Applications

  • UAV and drone altitude holding, terrain following, and auto-landing systems.
  • Industrial level measurement for silos, tanks, and bulk material bins.
  • Robotics and AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) obstacle avoidance and navigation.
  • Vehicle detection, positioning, and counting for smart parking or toll gate systems.
  • Crane safety systems and overhead collision avoidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for the TF02-i-RS485 sensor?

The TF02-i-RS485 uses the RS485 serial interface, typically communicating via the Modbus RTU protocol. This allows for robust, noise-immune data transmission over distances up to 1200 meters, making it suitable for industrial environments. You will need an RS485 to USB or RS485 to UART converter to interface with a standard computer or microcontroller.

What is the power supply requirement for this LiDAR module?

The module requires a DC supply voltage between 7V and 30V. A typical operating point is 12V, where it consumes ≤70mA average current. Ensure your power source can provide clean, stable power within this range and handle brief peak currents up to 100mA for reliable operation.

Can this sensor work outdoors in bright sunlight?

Yes, the TF02-i is designed with high ambient light immunity, capable of operating under conditions up to 100,000 lux, which includes direct sunlight. Combined with its IP65-rated enclosure, it is well-suited for outdoor applications like drone navigation and external industrial level sensing.

How do I configure the sensor's frame rate and other parameters?

Configuration commands are sent via the RS485 interface using specific Modbus function codes. You can adjust the frame rate from 1 Hz to 1000 Hz, set the device address, and modify baud rate settings. Refer to the official Benewake TF02-i communication protocol manual for the complete command set and configuration procedure.

What is the accuracy and repeatability of the distance measurement?

The sensor provides a distance resolution of 1 cm. Its repeatability (1σ standard deviation) is better than 2 cm for targets between 0.1 and 35 meters with 90% reflectivity. Accuracy can be affected by target surface properties; highly reflective surfaces provide the best performance.
