The advantage of using a separate termination plug instead of the internal termination resistor is that an external termination plug is clearly visible. This helps to prevent an inadvertent double termination that could cause the entire CAN bus to malfunction. 5. Technical data Please refer to the datasheet of your product. DIS SENSORS BV...
A single-axis inclinometer (vertical mount) measures the inclination in the vertical plane over the full range 0-360° (X-output). The default 0° position and the measuring direction are shown in Figure 8. Figure 8 - Measuring axis and direction of 1-axis inclination. DIS SENSORS BV...

The QG65N2 CANopen Inclinometer can be easily configured using DIS configurator set CAN developed by DIS Sensors. The tool also displays live data from the sensor. The configuration tool consists of a configuration kit and PC software. The configuration kit can be ordered separately, and the software can be downloaded from our website.
