Safety Advisory
Read this manual before installing
and operating the BIW Transducer.
1.1
Proper application
The BIW transducer is intended to
be installed in a machine or system.
Together with a controller (PLC) or a
processor it comprises a position
measuring system and may only be
used for this purpose.
Unauthorized modifications and
non-permitted usage will result in
the loss of warranty and liability
claims.
1.2
Qualified personnel
This guide is intended for special-
ized personnel who will perform the
installation and setup of the system.
1.3
Use and inspection
The relevant safety regulations must
be followed when using the trans-
ducer system. In particular, steps
must be taken to ensure that should
the transducer system become de-
fective no hazards to persons or
2
Function and Characteristics
2.1
Characteristics
BIW transducers feature:
- High resolution and repeatability
- Immunity to shock, vibration
and RF fields
- Absolute output signal rising or
falling (selectable)
- Guided sensor element
- 32 kHz sampling rate
- Potential-free
2.2
Function
The BIW transducer contains a
sender/receiver sensor element and
an oscillator circuit, sealed in an
aluminum extruded housing. The
oscillator is attached to a rod which
in turn is attached to the moving
member of the machine whose
position is to be determined.
property can result. This includes
the installation of additional safety
limit switches, emergency shutoff
switches and maintaining the per-
missible ambient conditions.
1.4
Scope
This guide applies to the model
BIW1-A/C/E/G transducer.
An overview of the various models
can be found in section 6 Versions
(indicated on product label) on
page 6.
Note: For special versions, which
are indicated by an -SA_ _ _ des-
ignation in the part number, other
technical data may apply (affect-
ing calibration, wiring, dimensions
etc.).
The oscillator circuit is excited via
the sender/sensor element at a
sampling rate of 32 kHz, couples a
signal into the receiver sensor
element at the momentary position.
The position value is immediately
available on the output and is an
absolute signal.
