TheBulkscancanmonitorthevalueforthecenterofgravitywithindenedlimitsand
signal on a digital output if the value exceeds or drops below the limits.
• Pay attention to the correct angular adjustment of the sensor to obtain meaningful
values for the position of the center of gravity (see "8.1 Teaching-in the reference
contour“ on page 53).
• The sensor only calculates the position of the center of gravity if the bulk contour is
outside the tolerance due to vibration (see "8.3.1 Tolerance against vibration“ on
page 58). Otherwise the sensor outputs the value 0.5.
• Youcansmooththemeasuredvaluewiththeaidoftheaveraginglter(see"4.11
Averaginglter“onpage24).
How to congure the calculation of the center of gravity:
 Switch to the Measurement tab.
 ConguretheCenter of gravity averaging lter, if required.
How to congure the signaling of the center of gravity on a digital output:
 Switch to the Interfaces tab.
 Click on Digital outputs to open the Digital outputs tab (see "4.13 Digital outputs“
on page 25).
 Select the assignment Center of gravity for the required digital output.
 Select the required Logic.
 DenetheLowerlimit,theUpper limit, and the associated Hysteresis.
How to congure the signaling of the center of gravity on an analog output:
 Switch to the Interfaces tab.
 Click on BAM 100 to open the BAM 100 tab (see "4.14 Analog module BAM100“ on
page 26).
 Select the assignment Center of gravity for the required output.
 Denethe4 mA point and the 20 mA point.
