PILZ

PILZ safety laser scanner PSENscan

Package: psen_scan

The psen_scan package is a ROS integration of the PSENscan safety laser scanner product. It allows for an easy integration of the laser scanner data into your ROS Environment. Using the standard sensor_msgs/LaserScan message format ensures compatibility with other laserscan-post-processing nodes such as gmapping. For a general overview and link collection we refer to the wiki page.

ROS API

Published Topics

/laser_scanner/scan (sensor_msgs/LaserScan)
Publishes a complete scan from the PSENscan safety laser scanner.

Parameters

password (string, default: "ac0d68d033")
Password for safety laser scanner.

host_ip (string, default: "192.168.0.50")
IP-Address of host machine.

host_udp_port (int, default: 55115)
UDP Port on which packets from safety laser scanner should be received.

sensor_ip (string, default: "192.168.0.10")
IP-Address of safety laser scanner.

frame_id (string, default: "scanner")
Identifier used for transformations within ROS environment.

skip (int, default: 0)
How many incoming frames should be skipped (reduces publish rate).

angle_start (float, default: 0)
Start angle of measurement.

angle_end (float, default: 275)
End angle of measurement.

x_axis_rotation (float, default: 137.5)
Clockwise rotation of the x-axis around the center in degrees.

Usage

To start reading from the safety laser scanner and publishing complete scans execute roslaunch psen_scan psen_scan.launch in a command line. This will launch the ROS Node with the default configuration.

If you wish to set parameters from the command line, add them to the end of the command as follows: parameter:=value, separated by spaces.

roslaunch psen_scan psen_scan.launch sensor_ip:=192.168.0.10 host_ip:=192.168.0.20 host_udp_port:=3050

This example configures the safety laser scanner at 192.168.0.10 to send it´s frames to 192.168.0.20:3050.

Adjust expert parameters

If you've created an application package with your own launch file as described in the tutorials, you can easily adjust the aforementioned configuration parameters.
