Commissioning
The sensor is pre-configured to detect a single track without turnoffs.
For this ap-
plication it may be sufficient to install the sensor and connect it to the vehicle control. We
recommend to always connect it to a PC and configure it as shown below to minimize in-
terferences. If more than one track is to be detected and if there are turnoffs in the driving
course then the configuration as shown below has to be performed.
For the commissioning configuration the serial interface in connector ST 1 is used. Connect
ST 1 to a PC as shown in section 6.2 on page 22. Then start a compatible terminal program
with ANSI emulation (see section 6.3 on page 22). Then you can use the service program
that runs inside the magnet sensor (section 6.4 on page 23).
Note
For the following explanations we assume that your sensor is running with its default con-
figuration. If needed the default settings can be restored in the
settings
menu, see section
4.1 Configuration of the Magnet Sensor
The goal of the configuration is the reliable recognition of magnetic tracks.
For this
the thresholds for the detection of one (resp. two) tracks have to be adjusted. The detection
of two tracks is necessary if there are to be junctions in the track. A track is detected when
the magnetic flux density is above the set threshold. The track detection has an internal
switching delay of 2 % so that it does not react too sensitively in border areas. For the com-
missioning the following menus and subitems of the service program are used:
