Product catalog summary
Introduction
MCA416L is a low-power, single-axis inclinometer designed for industrial control applications. It features a MODBUS output and utilizes a micro-mechanical sensing unit for measuring inclination angles based on earth's gravity. The device is noted for its anti-interference design, wide temperature range, and high anti-vibration performance, making it suitable for harsh environments.

  • Temperature range: -40 to +85°C
  • Resolution: 0.1°
  • IP67 protection level
  • High anti-vibration performance (>2000g)
  • MODBUS output mode

Applications
  • Solar photovoltaic tracking control systems
  • Concentration tracking control systems
  • CSP tracking control systems

Technical Specifications

Electrical Parameters
  • Supply voltage: 9-36V
  • Working current: 4mA
  • Sleep current: 0.46mA
  • Operating temperature: -40 to +85°C

Working Principle
The inclinometer uses a capacitive miniature pendulum to measure inclination. Changes in capacitance due to gravity components on the pendulum are amplified, filtered, and converted to determine the angle.

Installation and Dimensions
  • Shell size: L61 × W35 × H21mm
  • Installation size: L52 × W17 × H4mm
  • Mounting screws: 3 M4 screws

Electrical Connection
  • Black: GND
  • White: RS485(D+)
  • Green: RS485(D-)
  • Red: Vcc 9-36V

Communication Protocol
The device uses the RION MODBUS communication protocol with a baud rate of 9600 bps. It supports various commands for reading angle data, setting zero points, changing sensor addresses, and entering/exiting sleep mode. The protocol requires specific timing and sequence for command execution to ensure reliability.

MCA416L LOW-POWER INCLINOMETER ▶ WORKING PRINCIPLE It adopts imported core control unit and the principle of capacitive miniature pendulum. Using the principle of earth's gravity, when the inclination unit is tilted, the earth's gravity will produce a component of gravity on the corresponding pendulum, and the corresponding capacitance will change. The inclination angle can be obtained by amplifying, filtering, and converting the capacitance.。 Shell size: L61 × W35 × H21mm Installation size: L52 × W17 × H4mm Mounting screws: 3 M4 screw

▶ ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Color ▶ RION MODBUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL Note, please read the following items carefully before use: 1) Because the MODBUS protocol stipulates that the time between two data frames should be at least 3.5 bytes (for example, at a baud rate of 9600, the time is 3.5×(1/9600)×11=0.004s). But in order to leave enough margin, this sensor increases this time to 10ms, so please leave at least 10ms time interval between each data frame. The host sends a command-10ms idle-the slave responds to the command-10ms idle-the host sends a command... 2) The MODBUS protocol stipulates...

Note: 0010 is the register address. This register controls whether the sensor output is relative zero or absolute zero. If it is non-zero (as in the above example, 00FFH is written), the output is a relative zero. On the contrary, if it is zero (change the 5th and 6th bytes to 00H), it is an absolute zero. The last two bytes are the CRC checksum. 4.
