Inclination measurement
over Profibus
By enlarging
its product range, Fraba Posital now offers a new solution in the
field of inclination measuring: robust and compact inclination sensors
with a Profibus interface.
For the determination
of an angle of inclination, a conductimetric principle of measurement
is used to ensure a high grade of precision even for small angular
changes. With this inclination sensor the
x- and y-axis
can be evaluated independently from each other. An angular coverage
up to 45 degrees is possible in positive and negative excursion.
Integrating
a powerful 16 bit micro controller allows rapid measuring and processing
of the angle. In order to adapt the inclination sensor to the requirements
of the application, there are several device parameters available
for the user. A preset value enables the desired angle of inclination
to the real physical inclination and to calibrate the sensor.
Software limit
switches for the minimum and maximum value allow the supervising
of an admissible range of operation. The device is protected to
IP66 against dust and hosed water.
