Micropulse Configuration Tool

NOTICE
Interference in function
Configuration with the Micropulse Configuration Tool
while the system is running may result in malfunctions.
► Stop the system before configuration.
The BTL7-A/E... USB-Configurable transducer can be
configured quickly and simply on a PC using the
Micropulse Configuration Tool PC software.
The most important features include:
– Online display of the current position of the magnet
– Graphical support for setting the functions and curves
– Display of information on the connected transducer
– Selectable number formats and units for display
– Resetting to factory settings is possible
– Demo mode without having transducer connected
The PC software and associated manual can be
found in the Internet under www.balluff.com.

Connecting the USB communication box

With BTL7-A/E... transducers with connectors, the
communication box must be looped in between the
transducer and controller. The communication box is
connected to the PC via a USB cable.

Configuration options

Software correctly installed.
USB communication box connected to the transducer
and PC.
Transducer connected to the power supply.
Magnet on transducer.
One or two magnets can be selected (factory setting:
one magnet)
Two outputs can be assigned independently
Position: position in the measuring range.
Velocity: velocity of the magnet. The sign indicates the
direction of movement. Movement from the null point
to the end point is output with a positive sign.
Movement from the end point to the null point is output
with a negative sign. Max. detectable velocity range of
−10 to +10 m/s.
Velocity (no sign): velocity of the magnet. The
direction of movement cannot be read. Max.
detectable velocity range of 0 to 10 m/s.
Differential position: Distance between two magnets.
Selection is only possible if two magnets have been
selected.
