Configuration using the Micropulse Configuration Tool (only for BTL7-S510(B)-...)
7.1
Micropulse Configuration Tool (software)
The BTL7-S510(B)-... 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
–
Graphic support for setting the functions and
characteristics
–
Display of information on the connected transducer
–
Selection of displayed number formats and units
–
Possible to reset to the factory settings
–
Demo mode without a connected transducer
The PC software and associated manual can
be found in the Internet under
www.balluff.com.
7.2
Connecting the USB communication box
With BTL7-S510(B)-... transducers with a connector (S32),
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.
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.
► Transducers may only be connected to the
communication box for configuration.
► The communication box must be removed after
configuration.
