    PLCs. An analog signal is a continuous signal which is analogous i. e. comparable to another time varying signal. In our case the variation of current or voltage signal from IK360 is analogous to the variation of measured position.

  • Page 5: Installation

    Customized scaling of analog output is also possible. Electrically, like all other IK360 variants it consists of a highly integrated circuit in SMD technology, temperature compensation, active linearization and the only variation is the analog interface.

  • Page 6: Mounting Instructions

    Avoid mechanical load! Mounting instructions IK360 is a pre-calibrated device, which can be put into immediate operation, upon simple and easy installation with a three point mount and setting of preset. Its compact design and installation "anywhere" makes it versatile.

    Configuration Mode This mode is primarily used for modifying configurations and the settings of IK360 using RS232 Interface. In this mode, the position value is transmitted only upon request and is active until a power cycle, software reset or the IK360 is switched to measurement mode. All settings saved in this level are stored in the EEPROM and permanently available also after power cycle.

  • Page 14: Preset/Direction And Teach-In Mode

     Preset/ Direction Mode (teach 0) The Preset/Direction mode is the default mode in which the IK360 operates. In this mode the user can set the origin of measurement (0° Reference Angle) at the current point and can also change the direction of measurement. The changes done in the RS232 mode also gets reflected in the analog output.

  • Page 15: Teach-In Mode (Teach 1)

    5.4.5 Teach-In mode (teach 1) This is the mode used for scaling the IK360 output as per the users’ requirement. The user can set the range of measurement and the IK360 analog output is scaled accordingly. The range of measurement is defined to lie within the origin and maximum angle positions, which then corresponds to the analog output scaling.

    SET1 and SET2. If the scaling was done correctly the IK360 should giva a (4 mA – 20 mA) or (0 V – 10 V) output in the range of measurement set between the locked positions of SET1 and SET2.

  • Page 18: Analog Interface

    Analog Interface The output signal from the IK360 analog interface can be directly connected to devices for immediate processing. The calibration of the signals can be easily done, since the signals are linear. Output Types 6.1.1 IK360 - Voltage Connect the corresponding (voltage analog output pin 5) open end of the connection cable to the measurement system.
