General description TLE5501 Angle Shield description The TLE5501 Angle Shield has to be plugged onto the Boot Kit. Care has to be taken that the pins are correctly aligned. The TLE5501 sensor is soldered on the shield in a “breakout” area that can be easily broken of the shield and used in another application if needed.
2. Install the programmer software by double-clicking on the file: TLE5501_EvalKit_vx.msi. 3. If you do not have installed Segger Driver & .NET 3.5 included with this installer, install them. 4. Start the installed software TLE5501 – Eval Kit. Rev. 1.0...
After starting the software, a device should appear in the Programmer list, click the Connect button to connect the Eval Kit. In the Sensor drop-down list select the sensor TLE5501 and click Start. The Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors window shows the real time angle read-out...
TLE5501 Eval Kit Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors Sensor readout The Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors window displays the uncalibrated differential angle with the angle gauge. It also reports the voltage for each output (SinP, CosP, SinN, CosN). Figure 3 Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors window Rev.
TLE5501 Eval Kit Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors How to calibrate For analog angle sensors, the offset, amplitude and orthogonality of the raw signals sin and cos has to be calibrated to achive high angl eaccuracy. This calibration procedure can be performed as described below: Click Calibrate.
• The right-down area of the Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors window displays information that is related to the safety concept for TLE5501 described in the Product Safety Manual. • To get all the safety fields populated a calibration is required.
TLE5501 Eval Kit Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors Output buffer On the sensor shield, there are 4 DIP switches which allow to select an output buffer for the analog raw signal sin and cos. With this buffer enabled, a low output impedance is provided.
