FIP-C Dual-axis CAN-bus Angle Sensor

FIP-C is a sensor 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.

Possible connections

Working:

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.

Settings:

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 the device, first it is necessary to ensure 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.

Warning: 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.
