7.11 General parameters
Parameter:
“Weld seam width“
Signals, which are within the specified circumferential range (referred to
the determined weld seam position), will not be used for evaluating the
seam detection.
If weld seams are rather wide (e.g. at ERW-welded steel tubes with
diameter >50mm), then parts of the weld seam signal can (at standard
setting) be detected as interference signal. This effect can be avoided
by increasing the value.
With this value the max. positioning deviation is determined.
Standard value:
3 %
Value range:
1 - …
Parameter:
“Samples per cm“
This value specifies the number of samples (scans) per centimetre of
material passing the sensor.
In order to reach a resolution of at least 1°, more than 360 samples must
be drawn during one turn of the tube. A proven value is at approx. 600
samples.
From this it can be easily calculated, which sample value is practicable
for a tube diameter.

Standard value:

Value range:
1 - 120
Parameter:
“Slippage“
Determines the max. permissible slip rate (= variation of turn speed). If
the unit reports too large slip rates, the turn drive system should be
inspected first. If a larger slip rate must be accepted, the resulting worse
positioning accuracy must be considered.
Standard value:
3 %
Value range:
0,1 - …
Parameter:
“Filter type“
In the SND40 the sensor signal becomes digitally filtered. The result
serves for seam detection and positioning.
Standard value:
Flank extreme / SAF
Value range:
-
Parameter:
“Rel. Magnet flux [%]“
Changing the value causes stronger / weaker magnetization of the
material being in front of the sensor.
When using the EC-…-sensors, this value should be 0%.
When using the NS9S and NS12S sensors, this value should be 100%.
When using combo sensors, changing the value can result in better
signal quality and requires adjustment of the parameter

”Y Component“
.
Standard value:
100 %
Value range:
0 - 100 %
Parameter:
“Settling time“
Time, which the magnetic field requires after being switched on for
building up the magnetic flux inside the material.
In most cases, a time of 1500 ms is sufficient.
Standard value:
Value range:
0 - 5000
Parameter:
“Signal gain“
Increases the signal amplitude, in order to obtain a better evaluation.
Standard value:
20 (eddy current), 1
(leakage flux)
Value range:
1 - 100
