9.2 Menu item status

The status menu includes current information about the
sensor status (Fig. 13) such as:
• Magnets Found: Number of magnets detected on the
sensor
• Magnets Set: Number of set magnets. By clicking on the
red arrow on the left the current position of the magnet is
displayed. The magnifying glass on the right of the magnet
provides a graphical display of the magnet's position. Note,
that the output of the position values for the graphical
display is slower than the output of the position values to
the controller (Fig. 14).
• Temperature: Current temperature inside the sensor
electronics housing.
• Input Voltage: Current input voltage of the sensor.
• Sensor Notices: Current error messages
• Lifetime Statistics: By clicking the red arrow in the left
information about the sensor statistics are displayed
(depending on the connected sensor)
ƒ Odometer: Total distance travelled by the position magnet
ƒ Magnet cycles: Total number of directional changes
of the magnet
ƒ Operational Time: Total operational hours of the sensor
ƒ Max Temperature: Maximum temperature inside the
sensor electronics housing reached so far
ƒ Min Temperature: Minimum temperature inside the
sensor electronics housing reached so far
ƒ Temperature Violations: Duration of exceeding or falling
below the permissible operating temperature range
ƒ Max Voltage: Maximum input voltage reached so far
ƒ Min Voltage: Minimum input voltage reached so far
ƒ Voltage Violations: Duration of exceeding or falling
below the permissible power supply range
• Displayed Units: You can change the units of the displayed
