6.4 Configuration options
Prerequisites
– USB communication box connected to the transducer
and PC.
– Software correctly installed.
– Transducer connected to the power supply.
– Magnet on transducer.
Magnets and outputs
– One or two magnets can be selected (factory setting:
one magnet)
– Two outputs can be assigned independently
Output functions
– Position: position in the measuring range.
– Speed: speed 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 speed range of
−10to+10m/s.
– Speed (no sign): speed of the magnet. The direction
of movement cannot be read. Max. detectable speed
range of 0to10m/s.
– Differential position: Distance between two magnets.
Selection is only possible if two magnets have been
selected.
Freely configurable characteristic curve
– Null and end points can be read (teach-in) or specified
with the mouse.
– The distance between the null point and end point
must be at least 4mm.
– The characteristic curve can be inverted or copied from
the other output.
– The limits can be adjusted to the measuring range.
– The error value can be set in accordance with the
limits.
Boundary conditions for two magnets
– Two magnets can only be selected from a nominal
length ≥90 mm.
– The distance between two magnets must be ≥65 mm.
DANGER
Uncontrolled system movement
When starting up, if the displacement measurement
system is part of a closed-loop system whose
parameters have not yet been set, the system may
perform uncontrolled movements. This could result in
personal injury and equipment damage.
► The system must be taken out of operation before
configuration.
► Transducers may only be connected to the
communication box for configuration.
► The communication box must be removed after
configuration.
