TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
5.11. IOLITE-3xMEMS-ACC
IOLITE 3xMEMS-ACC is an integrated sensing device. Acceleration is measured by a triaxial MEMS
accelerometer inside the device that is tightly attached to the mechanical chassis. Analog to digital
conversion is done inside the device, eliminating any noise pick up in analog cabling. Microprocessor
inside the device transmits the acceleration samples over EtherCAT protocol into DEWESoft software
running on a Windows PC, or alternatively to any controller running EtherCAT master on any platform.
Scaling is automatic in DEWESoft software, therefore the data in g or m/s2 is readily available to the user.
MEMS sensor internal temperature is also available as a data channel in DEWESoft software under
System monitor channels.
IOLITE 3xMEMS-ACC
IOLITEw 3xMEMS-ACC can be supplied in a waterproof aluminium enclosure with cable glands. The
enclosure is designed to be mounted outdoor. Cables are to be inserted through the cable glands at the
installation location and crimped to the male RJ45 connectors. Female RJ45 connectors of the
3xMEMS-ACC are located inside the waterproof enclosure. The top lid is to be fixed to the enclosure
using an O-ring seal and four bolts after the connectors are mated. The outdoor enclosure automatically
vents air to equalize pressure inside the enclosure to the outside air pressure while it does not allow
water to pass into the enclosure. This prolongs the life span of the seal and increases durability of the
enclosure.
