Micropulse Configuration Tool

NOTICE
Interference in function
Configuration with the Micropulse Configuration Tool
while the system is running may result in malfunctions.
► Take the system out of operation before
configuration.
The BTL7-S... USB-Configurable 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 about the connected BTL
– Selection of displayed number formats and units
– Possible to reset to the factory settings
– 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(s) on BTL.
Output functions
Position: Position in the measuring range.
–
Velocity: Speed of the magnet; the sign indicates the
–
direction of movement. Movement from the start point
to end point is output with a positive sign and
movement from the end point to the start point 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 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 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 magnetostrictive 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 magnetostrictive position measuring system
may only be connected to the communication box
for configuration.
► Remove the communication box after configuration.
