Configuration with the BTL7 Configuration Tool (only for BTL7-S510(B)-...)

7.1

BTL7 Configuration Tool

The BTL can be quickly and easily configured on the PC
using the PC software BTL7 Configuration Tool.
The most important features include:
– Online display of the current position of the magnet
– Graphic support for setting the functions and
characteristics
– Display of information on the connected BTL
– Selection of displayed number formats and units
– Possible to reset to the factory settings
– Demo mode without a connected BTL
The PC software and associated manual can
be found in the Internet under
www.balluff.com.
7.2

Connecting the USB communication box

For a BTL with connector the communication box must be
inserted between the BTL and the controller. The
communication box is connected to the PC via a USB
cable.

Configuration options

Prerequisites
– USB communication box connected to the BTL and
PC.
– Software correctly installed.
– BTL connected to the power supply.
– Magnet on BTL.
Output functions
Position: Position in the measuring range.
–
Speed: Speed of the magnet; the sign indicates the
–
direction of movement. A movement from the starting
point to end point is output with a positive sign; a
movement from the end point to the starting point is
output with a negative sign.
– Speed (unsigned): Speed of the magnet, the direction
of movement cannot be read.
– Differential position: Distance between two magnets.
Selection is only possible if two magnets have been
selected.
– Speed difference: The speeds of two magnets are
subtracted to form a sum. Selection is only possible if
two magnets have been selected.
Freely configurable characteristic curve
– The gradient of the characteristic curve can be set by
adjusting the resolution.
– The limits can be adjusted to the measuring range.
– The error value can be set.
Boundary conditions for several magnets
– Two magnets can only be selected from a nominal
length ≥ 90 mm.
– The distance between two magnets must be ≥ 65 mm.
DANGER
Uncontrolled system movement
When starting up, if the position measuring system is
part of a closed loop system whose parameters have not
yet been set, the system may perform uncontrolled
movements. This could result in personal injury and
equipment damage.
► The system must be taken out of operation before
configuration.
► The BTLs may only be connected to the
communication box for configuration.
► The communication box must be removed after
configuration.
