The invention provides a bus-type AGV photoelectric guide controller which comprises a control unit. The control unit is connected with a switch control unit, a photoelectric sensor unit, a RS232 interface unit and a RS485 serial port bus unit, the controller further comprises a power source unit which powers the control unit, the switch control unit, the photoelectric sensor unit, the RS232 interface unit and the RS485 serial port bus unit, the switch control unit is used for selecting navigation mode, the RS232 interface unit is used for communicating with an upper computer, and the RS485 serial port bus unit is used for be connected with a driving unit of an AGV. Photoelectric guiding is adopted, and feedback guiding is realized through a light-reflecting guide strip on the ground, so that compared with AGV guide modes available on the market, the bus-type AGV photoelectric guide controller is low in cost, convenient in wiring and high in openness; the controller can be connected with other field bus driving unit interfaces compatible with a RS485 bus, the controller can cooperate with the upper computer for distributed control through a RS232 interface and can perform independent autonomous control, and accurate path following guide is realized.
