Micropulse Configuration Tool

NOTICE!
Interference in function
Configuration with the Micropulse Configuration Tool
while the system is running may result in malfunctions.
► Stop the system before configuration.
The BTL7-A/E... USB-Configurable transducer can be
configured quickly and simply on a PC using the
Micropulse Configuration Tool PC software.
The most important features include:
– Online display of the current position of the magnet
– Graphical support for setting the functions and curves
– Display of information on the connected transducer
– Selectable number formats and units for display
– Resetting to factory settings is possible
– Demo mode without having transducer connected
The PC software and associated manual can
be found in the Internet under www.balluff.com/
downloads-btl7.

Connecting the USB communication box

With BTL7-A/E... transducers with connectors, the
communication box must be looped in between the
transducer and controller. The communication box is
connected to the PC via a USB cable.

Configuration options

Prerequisites
– USB communication box connected to the transducer
and PC.
– Software correctly installed.
– Transducer connected to the power supply.
– Magnet on transducer.
Magnets and outputs
– One or two magnets can be selected (factory setting:
one magnet)
– Two outputs can be assigned independently
Output functions
– Position: position in the measuring range.
– Velocity: velocity of the magnet. The sign indicates the
direction of movement. Movement from the null point
to the end point is output with a positive sign.
Movement from the end point to the null point is output
with a negative sign. Max. detectable velocity range of
−10 to +10 m/s.
– Velocity (no sign): velocity of the magnet. The
direction of movement cannot be read. Max.
detectable velocity range of 0 to 10 m/s.
– Differential position: Distance between two magnets.
Selection is only possible if two magnets have been
selected.
