Firmware Features Overview
4.2
Operation Modes
INX***DH-F199-IE2-*** and INY***DH-F199-IE2-*** series inclination sensors have 2 operation
modes concerning the RS-232 interface.
Measurement Mode
The measurement mode of an inclination sensor is the free-running operational output mode,
in which the position value is sent cyclically (according to the output transfer rate) using the RS-
232 interface.
Configuration Mode
This mode is primarily used for modifying the parameters and settings of the inclination sensor
using the RS-232 interface. In this mode, the position value is transmitted only upon request
and is active until power off/on operation, software reset, or the inclination sensor is switched to
measurement mode.
All settings saved in this level are stored in the EEPROM and are also permanently available
after power off/on.
There are 2 additional configurations for the teach-in functionalities that can be configured in
this mode:
Preset/Direction Mode
The Preset/Direction mode is the inclination sensor's default operating mode. In this
mode, an analog input can be used to set zero position. The default direction setting is
clockwise. Analog input for inverting direction is not available until set up to do so in RS-
232.
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 RS-232 mode also get reflected in the analog output.
Preset value: Set origin at current position
The current position value is set to the mid angle (2-axis) and zero position (1-axis) by the
parameter preset.
Teach-in Mode (Scaling)
This is the mode used for scaling the inclination sensor output as per the user's
requirement using RS-232 or analog inputs. The user can set the measuring range and
the analog output is scaled accordingly. The measuring range is defined to lie within the
origin and maximum angle positions, which then corresponds to the analog output
scaling.
The maximum angle set in this mode will not affect the RS-232 position output. This
scaling only affects the analog output. The configurations/scaling set in teach 1 mode are
not reflected in teach 0 mode.
