Configuration using the Micropulse Configuration Tool (only for BTL7-S510(B)-...)
7.1
Micropulse Configuration Tool
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
–
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.
7.2
Connecting the USB communication box
With BTL7-S510(B)-... transducers with connectors (S32/
S115), the communication box must be looped in between
the transducer and controller. The communication box is
connected to the PC via a USB cable.

With a BTL7-S510(B)-... cable transducer, the
communication lines La, Lb and GND must be connected
to the USB communication box.

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.
–
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.
► Only connect transducers to the communication box
for configuration.
► Remove the communication box after configuration.
