T-Series industrial inclinometers are compact high performance sensors used to determine inclination in roll and pitch axes with excellent precision and at a high value. Whether using a molded plastic housing or an AW6082-T6 aluminum alloy housing, both versions offer mechanical stability and an encapsulated sensor. Both have a high environmental protection rating making them ideal for measuring tilt in harsh industrial environments.

Programmable Parameters
Resolution per 1° | The resolution parameter per 1° is used to program the desired number (1°, 0.1° and 0.01°) of steps per 1°. |
Preset Value | The Preset value is the desired position value, which should be reached at a certain physical position of the axis. The position value is set to the desired process value by the preset parameter. |
Moving Avarage-Filter | This filter can be used to adjust the bandwidth of measuring values to minimize the influence of vibration. Factory Setting: Moving average filter activated for 20 subsequent readouts. |
Digital Recursive Filter | This filter can be used for weighting the last measured value with the last previous value. This is useful to suppress sudden peaks in the angle measurement. |
Transmission Rate | Adjustable - Min. 20 kBaud; Max. 1 MBaud Factory Setting : 125 kBaud |
Address (Node ID) | Adjustable from 1 to 127 Factory setting: Node ID=1 |
Programmable CAN Transmission Modes
Polled Mode | By a remote-transmission-request telegram, the connected host calls for the current process value. The inclinometer reads the current position value, calculates set parameters and sends back the calculated process value by the same identifier. |
Cyclic Mode | The inclinometer transmits cyclically the current process value, without being called by the host. The cycle time can be programmed in milliseconds for values between 1 ms and 65536 ms. |
Sync Mode | The inclinometer answers with current process value after receiving a sync telegram. The parameter sync counter can be programmed to skip a certain number of sync telegrams before answering again. |
Heartbeat Function | A node signals its communication status by cyclically transmitting a heartbeat message. This message is received by one or any number of members (Heartbeat Consumers) in the bus and so they can control the dedicated node (Heartbeat Producer). |
