By combining the MPL5 mounting plate with the RPL5
swivel plate (available from the manufacturer as set
RMPL5
under part number 12-1071-00), the
inclination can be easily adjusted (Figure 5).
If the VLM60 is tilted, the tilt angle (roll angle beta)
must be set into the device software so that the
velocities continue to be measured correctly. See the
"TILT" command in chapter 4.2 "Parameters".

Connections
The VLM60 has screwable M12 device connections that are led out on the left side of the housing.
The A-coded, 8-pin flange plug (
connection 1
) is a combined
supply/signal connection. The assignment (view flange connector) is
shown in the following table.

Figure 6: Connections
The D-coded, 4-pole flange socket (
connection 2
) is the connection for the optional fieldbus interface. The
connection is led out if the VLM60 is equipped with a fieldbus interface ex works. Otherwise, a blind plug is
located there. The USB programming connector (
connector 3
) is an A-coded, 5-pin flange socket. The pin
assignment is shown in the following two tables. The contact arrangement (device side view) for all three
connections is shown in Figure 7.
Connectors must not be plugged or unplugged under voltage. All connection work may only be
carried out without voltage!
