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
– Number of magnets can be selected:
• 1 magnet (factory setting)
• 2 magnets
• Flexible Magnet Mode (FMM)
– Two outputs can be assigned independently
The number of magnets can be fixed or flexible:
– Fixed setting
If one magnet is set, a second magnet will be ignored.
If two magnets are set, there must be two magnets on
the BTL. If there is only one, the error value is issued on
all outputs. A third magnet will be ignored.
Flexible Magnet Mode (FMM)
–
In Flexible Magnet Mode, the number of magnets is
flexible, allowing them to be changed during operation.
If there are two magnets on the BTL, the respective
output function is issued via the outputs.
If there is only one magnet on the BTL, its output
function is always issued via output 1. Since there is no
second magnet, output 2 issues the error value.
Changing the number of magnets during operation can
cause the assignment of outputs and their values to be
swapped.
Output functions
– Position: position in the measuring range.
– Speed: speed 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 speed range of
−10 to +10 m/s.
– Speed (no sign): speed of the magnet. The direction
of movement cannot be read. Max. detectable speed
range of 0 to 10 m/s.
– Differential position: Distance between two magnets.
Selection is only possible if two magnets have been
selected.

Freely configurable characteristic curve
– Null and end points can be read (teach-in) or specified
with the mouse.
– The distance between the null point and end point
must be at least 4 mm.
– The characteristic curve can be inverted or copied from
the other output.
– The limits can be adjusted to the measuring range.
– The error value can be set in accordance with the
limits.
Boundary conditions for two 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.
