1 P r odu ct Ov er v i ew

This chapter mainly introduces the working principle, specifications, structural description, equipment coordinates and field of view distribution of the AD2- S-X3 LiDAR.

1.1 Product introduction AD2-S-X3 is a high-performance LiDAR product with excellent 3D perception capabilities and can accurately perceive various targets.

The two-dimensional scanning system and array transceiver design adopted by AD2-S-X3 support the continuous upgrade and iteration of product performance, and also meet the needs of intelligent driving systems for continuous optimization and upgrade of perception capabilities. The ultra- high resolution of AD2-S-X3 allows it to achieve high-definition detection capabilities within the entire field of view, leaving sufficient time for the intelligent driving system to make decisions, planning and control, thereby reducing the incidence of traffic accidents and assisting intelligent driving. It assists vehicles in making them safer and smarter.

1.2 Working principle

• The ranging principle is Time of Flight (ToF):

• The laser transmitter emits an ultrashort laser pulse;

• The laser is projected onto the object, diffuse reflection occurs, and

the laser receiver receives the diffuse reflected light;

• By measuring the flight time of the laser beam through space, the

distance from the target object to the device can be accurately calculated.

푐

� =

2

d：distance c：speed of light t：flight time of laser beam

• The principle of angular direction measurement is to use the internal

scanning device of the device to deflect the emitted laser beam, trigger the measurement with a regular angular amplitude to scan the surrounding environment, and realize the perception of the three- dimensional environment.

1.3 Structural Appearance AD2-S-X3 uses aluminum alloy enclosure and a curved glass window at the front. The overall appearance of the LiDAR is as shown in the figure below:

Figure. 2: AD2-S-X3 Appearance Figure. 3: AD2-S-X3 view 1.4 Coordinates System and Field of View Distribution 1. Device coordinate system The coordinate system of AD2-S-X3 is shown in the figure below. The positive direction of the X-axis is the direction of the LiDAR window glass, the positive direction of the Z-axis is perpendicular to the bottom surface and upward, and the positive direction of the Y-axis is parallel to the direction of the rear housing of the device; the XYZ axis constitutes a right-handed coordinate system, and the origin of the LiDAR coordinates is located at the center of the LiDAR window glass. The output point cloud data is based on the LiDAR coordinate origin.

This chapter mainly introduces the GUI software point cloud viewing and communication protocols of the AD2-S-X3 LiDAR.

3.1 Point cloud viewing The device does not contain any power switch. Data can be transmitted after the power adapter is connected and connected to the computer via a network cable.

Before receiving data, please check whether the IP address of the computer you are using is in the same network segment as the device; if not, the computer IP needs to be configured. Users can use the Benewake LiDAR Viewer debugging software to record and play back point cloud data. This debugging software has a total of two methods for device connection: 1. If the device IP and port number are known, you can click the Add button to connect to the device.

2. If the device IP and port number are not clear, click the icon to automatically search for the device. Wait for about 5 seconds, and the information of the connected device will be displayed on the device management panel.

Click start button in the device management panel and wait a moment to obtain the point cloud data; click the stop button to stop the LiDAR from working, and the point cloud data will stop updating.

Figure. 12: Connecting device to GUI software If you want to know more about how to use the Benewake LiDAR Viewer debugging software, you can contact Benewake technical team to obtain the usage instructions of the software.

3.2 IP Address Configuration The AD2-S-X3 LiDAR supports IP address configuration either via Benewake_Lidar_Viewer or by logging into the LiDAR’s internal web interface.

This section mainly describes how to configure the LiDAR IP address using Benewake_Lidar_Viewer.

You can configure the LiDAR IP address in Benewake_Lidar_Viewer. The settings must be saved and the LiDAR must be restarted for the new IP address to take effect. The detailed steps are as follows:

• Click the “Setup” button in Benewake_Lidar_Viewer, then locate the

“LiDAR connection settings” option, as shown in the figure below.

• Click the “LiDAR connection settings” button, then locate the “IP/Port”

option, as shown in the figure below.

• Click the “Set IP and PORT” button to open the IP address configuration

window. Modify the LiDAR IP address as required, then click the “Set” button, as shown in the figure below.

• Click “LiDAR storage settings” to display the “Save settings” button.

Click it to save the configuration successfully. Finally, click “Reboot” to perform a soft restart of the LiDAR, after which the updated IP address will take effect, as shown in the figure below.

3.3 Time Synchronization Settings The AD2-S-X3 supports multiple time synchronization methods, including PTP, gPTP, and NTP. You can configure the LiDAR time synchronization operating mode via Benewake_Lidar_Viewer. The detailed configuration steps are described below.

Figure. 17: Time synchronization settings

The PTP (1588v2) time synchronization configuration is as follows: The LiDAR operates only as a Slave node. The packet encapsulation format is UDP over IPv4, with an E2E (End-to-End) delay request–response mechanism.

Two-Step mode is used for time synchronization. The destination address is the multicast address 224.0.1.129, the Event port is 319, and the General port is 320.

The gPTP (IEEE 802.1AS) time synchronization configuration is as follows: The LiDAR operates only as a Slave node. The packet encapsulation format is MAC (IEEE 802.3), with a P2P (Peer-to-Peer) delay request–response mechanism. Two-Step mode is used for time synchronization. The destination address is the multicast address 01-80-C2-00-00-0E.

Notes on Using PTP and gPTP:

• The LiDAR operates as a PTP slave device and does not require

additional configuration.

• The LiDAR strictly synchronizes its time based on the PTP master clock.

The time output by some PTP master devices may have a fixed offset relative to the LiDAR time. Please ensure that the PTP master device is correctly configured and properly calibrated.

• If the LiDAR uses the hundred-millisecond alignment feature, ensure

that the PTP clock source does not experience time jumps; otherwise, point cloud abnormalities may occur.

The NTP time synchronization configuration is as follows: The LiDAR’s default NTP server address is 192.168.0.88, and the default polling interval is 20 s. You can modify the server address and the polling interval as needed. Once NTP time synchronization is successful, you can view the status on the following interface.

Figure. 18: Time synchronization settings Note: After the LiDAR clock source is configured, the settings must be saved via Benewake_Lidar_Viewer and the LiDAR must be restarted for the time synchronization configuration to take effect. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Click the “Setup” button in Benewake_Lidar_Viewer.

2. Click “LiDAR storage settings” to display the “Save settings” button, then click it to save the configuration.

3. Finally, click “Reboot” to perform a soft restart of the LiDAR. The time synchronization settings will then take effect.

Figure. 19: Time synchronization settings

3.4 Web Login Web control is mainly used for parameter configuration, device information viewing, firmware upgrades, and log and fault information viewing.

Accessing the web interface: 1. Connect the LiDAR and the computer using an Ethernet cable.

2. Configure the computer’s IP address according to the Device Usage section of this manual, ensuring that the computer and the LiDAR are on the same network segment.

3. Open a web browser and enter the LiDAR IP address 192.168.0.2 (default LiDAR IP address) to log in to the LiDAR via the web interface.

Note: The LiDAR cannot be accessed via the web interface while it is operating. To view LiDAR information, please stop LiDAR operation first and place the device in standby mode.
