Configuration using the BTL7 Configuration Tool

7.1

BTL7 Configuration Tool

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.
7.2

Connecting the USB communication box

For a BTL with connector the communication box must be
inserted between the BTL and the controller. The
communication box is connected to the PC via a USB
cable.

Configuration options

Prerequisites – USB communication box connected to the BTL and
PC.
– Software correctly installed.
– BTL connected to the power supply.
– Magnet on BTL.
Output functions
– Position: Position in the measuring range.
– Velocity: 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): Velocity 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 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.
Extended settings
– SSI interface: Change between synchronous and
asynchronous mode
– Noise filter: Setting of various filter levels
– Average filter: Number of averaged values
Boundary conditions for several magnets
– Two magnets can only be selected if the nominal length
is ≥ 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.
► Take the system out of operation before
configuration.
► The BTLs may only be connected to the
communication box for configuration.
► Remove the communication box after configuration.
