  • Page 10: Functional Principle, Technical Data

    Safety Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle The MSC 7401 / 7802 / 7602 series are single- and multi-channel miniature sensor controllers for the opera- tion of inductive displacement sensors based on the LVDT principle (full bridge) and for half-bridge sensors. An electronic oscillator supplies the primary coil with an alternating current of constant frequency and ampli- tude.

  • Page 11: Structure

    MICRO-EPSILON recommends the inductive displacement sensors and gauging sensors of the induSENSOR DTA and LDR series because they are optimally adjusted with the controller.

  • Page 42: Operation

    Operation Operation Before starting the measurement or making settings, let the controller with connected sensor warm up for approx. 2 minutes while supply voltage is switched on. Observe the operating instructions of the sensors used. If a sensor is replaced, the channel must be re-parameterized and readjusted. The parameter setup of the controller may either be performed via keys on the controller or via the sensor- TOOL, see A 3.

    Operation Setting The menu of the MSC7401 / 7802 / 7602 is designed for fast, mainly automated commissioning as well as for individual application-specific settings. It is divided into four function blocks, see Fig. 48. The 4 LEDs show the current position in the menu and the corresponding setting value at any time, 5.4.

  • Page 47: Automatic Sensor Recognition

    The first menu item is the automatic sensor recognition. LED D2 = red The automatic sensor recognition checks the connected sensor and determines the parameters for the com- mon MICRO-EPSILON sensors: - Sensor type (half bridge or full bridge (LVDT)) - Supply frequency and - Excitation voltage After the automatic sensor recognition has been completed, the LEDs confirm the status.

  • Page 48: Sensor Parameters

    Operation 5.3.3 Sensor Parameters LED D2 = red flashing With this function, you can set the parameters - sensor type, - supply frequency and - excitation voltage if the automatic recognition is not successful, or for special areas of use other settings may be necessary. These depend on the sensor model used.

  • Page 49: Adjustment

    Operation 5.3.4 Adjustment LED D2 = green At the menu item adjustment, you can use either a 2-point adjustment or a zero point search. In this menu, the controller can also be reset to the factory settings. 2-point Here you can set any 2 points within the measuring range and the corresponding signal values.

    General This manual describes how to obtain the digital measurement values from the induSENSOR MSC7xxx controller without using the MICRO-EPSILON sensorTOOL. Direct digital communication requires that the controller was set up before according to the manual. To do so, you can use, e.g., the PC sensorTOOL and the IF7001/USB single-channel RS485/USB converter.
