Inclination sensor NBT manual

Product catalog summary
Safety Instructions
  • Scope: Applicable to inclination sensor NBTxx-xxx/x/xC1-x-xxTxx with PROFINET interface.
  • Documentation: Follow system-specific operating instructions, this manual, data sheet NBT 14635, and connection assignment.
  • Proper Use: Sensors are for registering angular or linear positions and must be connected to downstream electronics.
  • Commissioning: Only specialists should set up and operate the device, ensuring protection against mechanical damage and adherence to specified limits.
General Information

The NBT series are MEMS-based acceleration sensors for one, two, or three axes, providing measurements via PROFINET protocol. Specifications align with IEC 61158 / 61784.

Installation
  • General Information: Follow PNO guidelines, use certified cables, and ensure cable lengths do not exceed 100m.
  • Mounting: Can be done via long or round holes, with adjustments possible through application programs.
  • Electrical Connection: Separate connectors for supply and PROFINET system, with integrated switch allowing flexible port use.
  • Status LEDs: Indicate operating voltage, network connection, data exchange, and errors through color codes.
  • Project Planning: GSD file and bitmap available online for integration into project planning tools.
Project Planning
  • Simatic Step7 - TIA-Portal: Procedure for integrating the sensor into a Siemens S7 control system.
  • Prerequisites: F PLC and PROFINET subnet must be installed and parameterized.
  • Installation of GSD File: Install via Options menu, ensuring the sensor symbol is in the same directory.
  • Installing the Sensor: Drag from hardware catalog to project netview, assign to CPU, and set default values.

Diagnostic
  • Overview: Information on PROFINET alarms and diagnostic data records.
Scope of Delivery and Literature
  • Details on included items and additional literature references.
IP Address Configuration

Under the PROFINET interface, the IP protocol must be enabled, and an IP address can be automatically assigned by Step7 or set manually.

Startup and Redundancy

The prioritized startup option reduces startup time from 6s to 3s from the second startup. The NBT can function in a redundant ring topology, requiring a network cable from the last client to the controller for redundancy. Media redundancy requires an MRP domain and manager assignment.

Real-Time Settings

Update time for the NBT can be set under real-time settings, with a minimum of 250 µs, depending on the CPU's send clock. Synchronization supports RT and IRT classes.

Inclination Sensor Configuration

Set I/O addresses for input (status word, position) and output (control word, preset value) data. Parameters can be adjusted in the "Module parameters" tab.

Device Exchange and Commissioning

For device exchange without a programming device, ensure the controller and devices support this function, which is activated by default. Define PROFINET connections in the topology editor for automatic commissioning.

Device Name Assignment

If automatic commissioning prerequisites are unmet, manually assign the inclination sensor name using the PROFINET context menu.

Factory Reset

Resetting to factory settings clears parameters, device name, IP parameters, and I&M data. Re-establish connection by assigning the device name.

I/O Data Overview

Input data includes status word and position for x, y, z axes. Output data includes control word and preset value. Status word contains error bits for PLC evaluation.

Parameterisation

Parameters are set using PROFINET services. Scaling must be on for preset settings. Firmware download mode is available.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics are available via LEDs, PROFINET alarms, and diagnostic data records. Alarms include internal communication errors and supply voltage issues.

Scope of Delivery

Includes the inclination sensor with PROFINET interface and connection assignment. Additional resources are available online.
