BTL7 Configuration Tool

NOTICE!
Interference in function
Configuration with the BTL7 Configuration Tool while the
system is running may result in malfunctions.
► Stop the system before configuration.
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
– Graphical support for setting the functions and curves
– Display of information on the connected BTL
– Selectable number formats and units for display
– Resetting to factory settings is possible
– Demo mode without a connected BTL
The PC software and associated manual can
be found in the Internet under www.balluff.com.

Configuration options

Prerequisites
– USB communication box connected to the BTL and
PC.
– Software correctly installed.
– BTL connected to the power supply.
– Magnet on BTL.
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.
