The Bulkscan can monitor the value for the center of gravity within defined limits and
signal on a digital output if the value exceeds or drops below the limits.
• Pay attention to the correct angular adjustment of the sensor to obtain meaningful
values for the position of the center of gravity (see "8.1 Teaching-in the reference
• The sensor only calculates the position of the center of gravity if the bulk contour is
outside the tolerance due to vibration (see "8.3.1 Tolerance against vibration“ on
page 58). Otherwise the sensor outputs the value 0.5.
•
You can smooth the measured value with the aid of the averaging filter (see "4.11
Averaging filter“ on page 24).
