Kübler Group 5 Product Description 5 Product Description 5.1 Function of an Inclinometer An inclinometer is a measuring device to record the incline angle. The sensor establishes a precise reference to the vertical direction. The Earth’s gravity is used as a reference. When the angle changes, it is recorded by a measuring cell.
5 Product Description Kübler Group 5.2 Use According to the Intended Purpose The inclinometer can be used as a measuring system for the acquisition of the inclination or rotation angle. The device may only be operated as described in these instructions. Any other use is considered as non compliant with the intended use.
Kübler Group 5 Product Description 5.4.3 Condition on delivery The inclinometers, on delivery, have the following basic settings. • Node-ID: 0x0A • Transmission rate 500 kbit/s • Internal terminating resistor switched off • TPDO1 active • TPDO1 synchronous mode, Cobid 80 5.4.4 Terminating resistor A bus terminating resistor can be enabled and disabled using the CANopen interface.
