4.3 Functional principle
The angle sensors work contact-free on the basis of the inductive resonator measuring prin-
ciple. This measuring principle allows for a design with a fully potted sensor housing without
seals that is separate from the positioning element. Magnetic fields disturb the measuring pro-
cess very little because the positioning element is not based on a magnet but on an inductive
coil system where the sensor and positioning element (resonator) form an oscillating circuit.
The device provides an output signal that corresponds to the angle of the positioning element.
4.4 Functions and operating modes
Output function
The device has an adjustable current output that outputs a current signal in the range of
4…20mA in the same way as the positioning element. If the positioning element is not detec-
ted, for example due to damage to the shaft, the output signal increases to a fault level of
22mA.
NOTE
During the teaching-in process, the loop current is 22mA.
