Sensor configurations
The sensor coordinate system is defined according to ISO 8855.
Note: To ensure backward compatibility to previous 1D and 2D versions of GIM500R and GIM140R, for
some versions, positive direction of rotation deviates from ISO8855.
5.1.1
1-dimensional sensor / vertical installation / plumb angle 0…360° (1D-VP)
Install sensor in vertical position with horizontal Z-axis (see illustration). For optimum measuring accuracy,
limit misalignment (maximum misalignment ±3°).
Sensor measures rotation around Z-axis with measuring range 0…360°.
Sensor output / slope value increases during clockwise rotation.
Sensor output is zero / 0°, when the connectors are pointing downwards.
Zero degree position may be configured by Slope long preset value objects (6012h, 6112h).
Z-axis angle = 0°
Z-axis angle = 90°
Z-axis angle = 180°
Z-axis angle = 270°
