Used for missing magnet detection purposes only. If the 'Value' = 0, the sensor will determine how many magnets are on the sensor
at startup. It will use the determined number of magnets to determine missing magnet status. The missing magnet status is reported
in the status attribute of the Position Sensor object and through the LEDs in the connector flange.
7.7.5
'Value' = Data [4], 'Description' = Velocity Window Size:
The number of cycles that is used to calculate the velocity. The larger the number of cycles the more resolute the velocity becomes,
but the slower the sensor is to respond to a change in velocity. Values of 1 – 1000 are valid.
7.7.6
'Value' = Data [5], 'Description' = Number of Averages:
A simple moving average that can be used to filter the position data in noisy environments. Values of 1 – 100 are valid.
The following illustrates an
example
of 'Controller Tags' information based on the factory default configuration:
Fig. 72: 'Controller Tags' information
Examples
based on the factory default configuration are as follows:
7.8.1
Run/Idle Header
Data[0] is always the Run/Idle header. This is not required by the EtherNet/IP standard, but it is highly recommended. It
can be used by the end user to determine if the system is in Run or Idle mode.
7.8.2
Magnet Data
The remaining data is laid out according to the data format selected in the configuration. The screen shot above shows
the position data for magnet 1 in Data[1], and the velocity for magnet 1 in Data[2].
Magnet data - Position
The position data for magnet one in this example is 100887. This number multiplied by the resolution
(default = 0.001 mm)
gives you your position.
Position = (100887)*(0.001 mm) = 100.887 mm
Magnet data - Velocity
The velocity data for magnet one in this example is 60113. The velocity resolution is always 0.001 mm.
Velocity = (60113)*(0.001 mm) = 60.113 mm

sensor is now added to the network and connected, ready to use.
