Angle sensor FIPR-C is a device able to measure the biaxial inclination with respect to the horizontal plane.

Measure is based on an integrate acceleration sensor. The inclination value is sent cyclically to the CANbus line using two different messages which have a different NodeID.

The CAN bus complies with CAN bus specification version 2.0b and the protocol is CANopen compatible.

Thanks to its redundancy which reduces the probability of failure; this device could be use as safety component.

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.

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.
