Function and features

The 2-axis inclination sensor enables zero point levelling and position detection of
mobile machines. Typical applications are for example the position detection of
access platforms, levelling of mobile cranes and mobile machines.
Operating principle:
Two measuring cells which operate to the conductometric principle evaluate the
change in conductivity of a liquid.
By applying an alternating voltage between the electrodes a current flows
through the liquid and generates an electric field.
When the sensor is inclined the electric field changes and thus the conductivity of
the liquid depending on the level. Arranging the electrodes in pairs results in a
signed angle of inclination.
• Parameter setting of the sensor resolution and the 2-axis zero point is possible.
• 1 server SDO and 2 Transmit PDOs conforming to CiA DS 401 are available. The
PDO mapping cannot be changed (static PDO mapping). Default identifiers have
been assigned according to the "predefined connection set".
• The COB IDs of the PDOs as well as the type of transmission (synch/asynch) of
the individual PDOs can be configured.
The type of transmission is stored non volatilely. Changed PDOs (PDO linking)
are stored volatilely.
• The inclination sensor expects a synch object. The CAN identifier of the synch
object can be configured. After a change the ID is automatically stored non
volatilely.
• The inclination sensor supports "node guarding".
The "guard time", the lifetime factor" and the CAN identifier of the guard
object can be configured and are stored non volatilely.
• The inclination sensor generates an emergency object. The COB ID of the
EMCY object can be configured.
• The inclination sensor stores the last 4 errors occurred. The error code of the
respective emergency object is stored.
• The inclination sensor supports a reset function, i.e. upon request the parame-
ters are assigned to the factory default values*.
*) For the factory default setting see the "parameter list", page 26.
