Functional Principle, Options, Technical Data Functional Principle, Options, Technical Data Measuring Principle The measurement coil and measurement electrodes have a concentric design. Thus, both measure against the same target surface. The signal of the capacitive displacement sensor is a function of the working distance, the thickness of the insulator and ( r). At the same time the eddy current displacement sensor measures the distance to the ground electrode (e.g.
Functional Principle, Options, Technical Data 2.1.2 Eddy Current Measuring Technique The eddy current measurement method is used for measurements on objects made of electrically conductive materials, which may have ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic properties. A high frequency alternating current is passed through a coil potted in a sensor housing. The electromagnetic field of the coil induces eddy currents in the conducting measuring object, whereby the resulting impedance of the coil changes.

Functional Principle, Options, Technical Data A constant dielectric constant of the medium to be measured is required for correct thickness measurement. The thickness value is calculated in the controller. With measuring objects presenting a structured surface, a target thickness up to a maximum of 50 % of the working distance is recommended.
Functional Principle, Options, Technical Data 2.2.2 Sensor Cable Sensor and controller are connected via a special, double-shielded 1m-long KC1 sensor cable. Do not shorten or lengthen this special sensor cable. Do not kink the sensor cable. Do not change the sensor cable. This leads to a loss of functionality or the specified technical data.
Delivery Delivery Unpacking, Included in Delivery - 1 Controller KSB6430 - 1 Sensor KSH5(03) - 1 Sensor cable KC1 or KC1,5 - 1 Supply cable PC6200-3/4 - 1 Operating instructions Carefully remove the components of the measuring system from the packaging and ensure that the goods are forwarded in such a way that no damage can occur.
Installation and Assembly Installation and Assembly Precautions No sharp or heavy objects should be allowed to affect the cable sheath. In areas with increased pressure, the cable must always be protected from pressure loads. The minimum bending radius is 20 mm. Kinks must be avoided at all costs. The plug connections must be checked for firm seating.
Installation and Assembly Circumferential Clamping This type of sensor installation ensures the highest level of reliability because the sensor’s cylindrical cover is clamped over a relatively large area. It is imperative in complex installation environments, such as machines, production plants, etc. Tension on the cable is not permitted.

Operation Rising edge (gate). Starts measured value output with set data rate as soon as the rising edge is present at the trigger input. Another rising edge stops the output of measured values or switches it on again. Fig. 16 Rising edge trigger (U ), relevant digital signal (D There is no factory-set triggering, the controller starts transmitting data as soon as it is switched on.
Operation Measurement Averaging 5.4.1 Preliminary Remarks The measured values are averages before they are output via the PROFINET interface. The averaged measurements improve the resolution, enable to mask individual interfering points or "smooth" the measurement result. The linearity behavior is not affected by averaging. Averaging has no effect on the data rate. The controller is shipped from the factory without averaging.
Operation 5.4.3 Arithmetic Average The arithmetic average M is formed and output via the selectable number N of successive measured values. Method Measured values are collected based on which the mean value is calculated. This method leads to a reduced amount of data because an average value is only output after every Nth measured values.
