Notes on Using Two Point Linear Alignment
The ANR2 will adjust the gain of the input amplifiers when using this method. In order for this method to
work correctly, you must be aware of the A-D converter values at both points before you use the Set Mini-
mum Value and Set Maximum Value commands to program these positions.
Before issuing commands, drive the sensor to both extreme positions and note the A-D converter values at
both positions. The first position that you program must be the position where the magnitude of the A-D con-
verter value is the greatest.
When you initially drive to either of your extreme operating points, it is possible that the A-D converter will
reach its maximum value before you reach your operating point. This simply means that the gain of the input
amplifiers is set too high. When you issue your Set Minimum Value or Set Maximum Value command, the
ANR2 will automatically lower the gain of the system so that the ANR2 can read the position correctly.
Transmit Bit
The
Transmit Bit
is used to tell the ANR2 when a new command is being written to it. Bit 15 of the Command
Word in the Network Output Data (Output Word 0, bit 15) is always the
Transmit Bit
.
The ANR2 only accepts commands when the Transmit bit makes a 0
1 transition. Therefore, this bit must
be reset between commands. The easiest way to do this is to write a value of zero into the Command Word
before writing the next command. Once this bit is reset, the ANR2 will respond by resetting the
Acknowledge
Bit
. At this point, another command can be written to the ANR2. This condition also applies when switching
between modes.
Entering Alignment Mode
The ANR2 will allow you to enter Alignment Mode after power up as long as valid Configuration data exists.
If the ANR2 powers up with the
In Alignment Mode
and
Module Initialized
bits set to “1”, then you can enter
Alignment Mode. See
starting on page 38 for a full description of the
In Align-
ment Mode
and
Module Initialized
bits.
You can also enter Alignment Mode from Measurement Mode at any time. You enter Alignment Mode by
writing the following data to the ANR2.
† This method is only available if you used the
Write Two Point Configuration Command
in Configuration Mode as described on page 46.
