Dual-axis CAN-bus angle sensor

Description

FIP-C is a device that uses only CAN bus interface to give information about dual-axis inclination. The sensor measures the angular inclination with respect to the horizontal plane.

It can operate in the measurement range up to ±45 degrees. Inclination measuring is based on high accuracy accelerometer IC. If the inclination exceeds ±45 degrees the value is trimmed and limited to this range.

The red LED indicates the sensor status:

- LED ON: The device is powered and operates in the measurement range of ±45 degrees.

- LED FLASHING: The device is powered and operates out of the measurement range.

Each inclination sensor is factory calibrated at 25 °C to guarantee high accuracy. The inclination sensor has hardware and software filters to reduce interference of vibrations.

Features

The CAN bus complies with CAN bus specification version 2.0b and the protocol is CANopen compatible . The inclination value is sent cyclically to the bus.

Using configuration parameter, which are stored permanently in the internal device memory, it is possible to make the inclination sensor suitable for different application solutions.

In particular, using special CAN bus message, it is possible to configure:

- baud rate (up to 500kb/s)

- nodeID

- transmission interval and other parameters.

See the documentations aboutCANbus protocol for more information.

Setting

The device is equipped with a bubble level and a metallic support which facilitate the zero setting without using other parts.

To adjust the zero of device, first it is necessary to ensur that the machinery where the device is mounted, is perfectly horizontal. Then it is necessary to turn the mounting screws (which are used to support the movable part on the fixed part).

Each sensor is pre-calibrated in Faber-com to ensure that the electrical zero corresponds with the zero of the bubble level mounted on the top.

A"calibration" CAN bus message it is provided to perform the zero-calibration, after the device is mounted on the machinery.

The sensor is not equipped with an internal termination resistance.

On request the inclination sensor can be supplied with the matching M12 female 5 way connector.
