User Manual - QG65D CANopen Dynamic Inclinometer (Type H) V2.3 4.3. Connection The sensor is equipped with either a single 5-pole M12 (A-coded) male connector according to IEC 61076-2-101, or with an additional 5-pole M12 (A-coded) female connector. This is specified in the suffix of the device model designation: suffix CM indicates a single male connector;...
User Manual - QG65D CANopen Dynamic Inclinometer (Type H) V2.3 4.4. CAN termination A CAN bus should be terminated properly to prevent signal reflections. The QG65D CANopen dynamic Inclinometer has an internal 120 Ohm termination resistor. By default, this is disabled, but it can be enabled with object 3003 A separate M12 termination resistor and T-connector are also available as accessories for CANopen devices.
Therefore, this calculation is only accurate for a relatively short period. The QG65D dynamic inclinometer combines accelerometer MEMS and gyro MEMS. This device is unaffected by vibration or movement, and can therefore measure the true angle at the sensor position in real-time. Our smart algorithms (such as Kalman filtering) within the device can determine the balance between the accelerometer MEMS (best result in static situations) and the gyro MEMS (best result in dynamic situations).

Measuring axis and direction for Inclination measures the inclination in the vertical plane over the full range A single-axis inclinometer (vertical mount) ±180° (or 0-360°) (X-output). The default 0° position and the measuring direction are shown in Figure 9 - Measuring axis and direction of 1-axis inclination.
User Manual - QG65D CANopen Dynamic Inclinometer (Type H) V2.3 6.2.2.

The measuring direction of three axes in the factory default setting is shown in Figure 11.
To eliminate noise or reduce the bandwidth, the inclination values can be further processed with extra digital filters. In each application profile, those filters can be enabled and configured using the DIS QG65D configurator, or with the CAN object dictionary.
