Inclinometer NBN/S3 SIL2

Product catalog summary
Inclination Sensor Overview
The document provides a comprehensive overview of the NBN/S3 inclination sensor, which employs MEMS technology and interfaces with CANopen Safety - SIL2. It is suitable for both mobile and stationary applications, such as undercarriage leveling and boom inclination measurement.

Design and Function
The sensor uses MEMS sensors to detect inclination through changes in capacity due to gravitational acceleration. It is encased in durable aluminum or stainless steel, offering high resistance to vibration and shock, and is protected to IP 69K standards.

General Description
The system includes a redundant MEMS sensor setup with data output via the CANopen interface. It features two independent nodes that operate as one, ensuring safety through internal communication and synchronization checks.

Measuring Accuracy
The sensor provides a general accuracy of ±0.5°, with drift specifications varying based on temperature. It uses dynamic averaging to manage changes in measured values.

Technical Data
The sensor is environmentally resilient, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and adhering to DIN standards for shock/vibration resistance. It operates on 11 to 36 VDC with power consumption under 1 W.

Safety Relevant Data
The sensor is TÜV-certified for SIL2 safety, with a PFH of 1.53 * 10^-7 1/h and an SFF of 95.33%.

CANopen Data
It supports CANopen features like NMT-Slave, emergency messages, and heartbeat functions, complying with various CiA specifications for safety-relevant communication.

Characteristic Curve
The output is a signed 16-bit data format, with specific overflow values indicating when the measuring range is exceeded.

Order Code Format
The document details the order code format, specifying options for electrical connections, housing material, and vibration protection.

Installation and Accessories
Installation drawings and recommended types are provided, along with details on electrical connections and available accessories.

Specifications
The document outlines specifications for the NBN inclinometer series, focusing on the NBN/S3 model, including standard versions and options for different measuring ranges and installation positions. Only two measurement axes can be used simultaneously.

Electrical Connections
The inclinometer offers various electrical connection options, including M12 connectors with 5 or 8 pins, with detailed pin assignments and color codes for wiring.

Installation Guidelines
Mounting instructions using M5 bolts are provided, with specific guidelines for safety applications to prevent adjustment loss. Detailed installation drawings with dimensions and materials are included.

Materials and Construction
Housing materials include AlMgSi1 for aluminum and 1.4305 or 1.4404 for stainless steel. Connectors and cable glands are made of nickel-plated brass or stainless steel, with NBR sealing rings.

Installation Positions and Measurement Axes
The document explains the importance of installation position in determining measurement axes and ranges, providing examples and emphasizing the need to specify the correct position when ordering.

Ordering Information
An ordering aid is provided, detailing model design, housing material, axis specifications, and connection options, with a recommendation to consult customer service for non-standard versions.

The housing-based inclinometer (model NBN 65) has a stable aluminium housing (optionally stainless steel) and is highly-resistant to vibration and shock. One or two connectors/socket in the case of CANopen can optionally be selected for connection. Casting measures in the housing lead to the achievement of protection class IP 69K, e.g. for use under water. MEMS sensors are integrated circuits manufactured using silicon bulk micromechanical technology. Double capacities are formed with the aid of moveable micromechanical structures. If these structures are deflected in the case of acceleration, e.g. gravitational acceleration (g), this results in capacity changes, which are registered and further processed using measuring technology. The output voltage follows the function U ∝ g * sin α. In this case, the angle α is the sensor's inclination angle measured against the g vector. These sensors measure precisely, have a long service life and are very robust. The measuring axes operate independently of each other. The NBN has a redundant MEMS sensor system. Data output is carried out via the CANopen interface by means of the object SRDO (Safety Relevant Data Object). Normal and bit-inverted.

tem; in terms of logic, these behave as one node, i.e. both systems are addressed via one node address. The primary node controls the logical CANopen functions such as SDO processing, NMT and LSS services, and provides information to the redundant node via internal communication. The redundant node checks the safety parameters and internally compares its safety status with that of the primary node. A synchronisation check is carried out in the inclinometer. Only one position datum is output; the plausibility of this is checked using the second system's position datum. Is the deviation of the...
