Overview

The Ethernet Inclinometer by Vigor is a multifunctional tilt measurement device integrating TCP/IP protocol stack for easy network application without requiring deep networking knowledge. It features a 10/100M self-adaptive Ethernet interface and supports baud rates up to 230.4 Kbps. The device supports multiple communication modes including TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, and Real COM driver, enabling flexible network configurations.

Key Features

• Selectable baud rates from 1200bps to 115200bps.
• Multiple working modes: TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, Real COM driver.
• Supports AUTO MDI/MDIX for flexible cable connections (crossover or straight-through).
• Built-in web server for easy configuration via webpage.
• DNS support allowing communication via domain names.
• Flexible framing modes and auto reconnection for reliable TCP connections.
• Advanced security with IP verification firewall and up to 8 configurable IP/IP segment certifications.
• Remote configuration capability.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) support compliant with IEEE802.3af standard.

Measurement Capabilities and Performance

• High accuracy with ±0.02%FS linearity and ±0.005° offset.
• Offset turn-on repeatability of ±0.008° ensures consistent measurements after power cycling.
• Combining with optional modules (gyro, vibration, GPS) enables static/dynamic angle measurement, vibration frequency/amplitude output, and synchronized position data acquisition.
• Internal intelligent algorithms reduce cross-axis sensitivity and improve real tilt angle accuracy.
• Short-circuit, transient voltage, and transposition protection for industrial environments.
• User-configurable parameters include zero point, baud rate, local gravitational acceleration, zero calibration, vibration suppression filter coefficients, ID address, and refresh rate.

Communication Modes

• TCP Server Mode: Device waits for client connections; supports bi-directional data transmission.
• TCP Client Mode: Device actively connects to a TCP server and retries on failure; supports bi-directional data transmission.
• Real COM Mode: Operates as TCP Server with a background service creating a virtual serial port on PC for seamless serial communication upgrade.
• UDP Mode: Connectionless communication with lower overhead and faster transmission, suitable for real-time data; multiple users can manage the device simultaneously.

Network Integration and Power Supply

• Supports multi-node networks via Ethernet PBX and remote querying through routers connected by WiFi, Zigbee, Ethernet, GPRS, or 3G networks.
• PoE power supply options include Alternative A (signal lines 1,2,3,6) and Alternative B (free lines 4,5,7,8), with wiring methods supporting devices with or without built-in PD modules.

Technical Specifications

Accuracy Definitions and Notes

• Combined Absolute Accuracy: Composite of linearity, repeatability, hysteresis, offset, and cross-axis sensitivity errors at room temperature.
• Cross-axis Sensitivity: Error caused by tilt perpendicular to the sensor’s sensitive axis, included in absolute accuracy.
• Offset: Sensor output when no angle input is present.
• Allowed Installation Misalignment: Permissible deviation between actual tilt direction and sensor’s measurement axis without affecting accuracy.
• Offset Turn-on Repeatability: Consistency of offset after repeated power cycling.
• Long-term Stability: Output deviation over one year of continuous operation at 20°C.
• Response Time: Time to reach 90% of final output after a step angle change.
