6.4 Configuration options
Prerequisites
– USB communication box connected to the BTL and
PC.
– Software correctly installed.
– BTL connected to the power supply.
– Magnet on BTL.
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
−10 to +10 m/s.
– Speed (no sign): speed of the magnet. The direction
of movement cannot be read. Max. detectable speed
range of 0 to 10 m/s.
Freely configurable characteristic curve
– Null and end point can be read (teach-in) or specified
with the mouse.
– The distance between the null point and end point
must be at least 4 mm.
– The characteristic curve can be inverted from the
output.
– The limits can be adjusted to the measuring range.
– The error value can be set in accordance with the
limits.
– The additional voltage output (output 2) can also be
inverted.
Changing the null or end point also affects the
additional voltage output. Even if the output
values (current output) are changed, the
characteristic curve of the additional voltage
output remains at 0…10 V or 10…0 V.
DANGER
Uncontrolled system movement
When starting up, if the position measuring 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.
►
The BTLs may only be connected to the
communication box for configuration.
►
The communication box must be removed after
configuration.
