Inclinometer NBN system description

Product catalog summary
General Overview
The document provides detailed specifications for the NBN 65 inclination sensor, which is designed for use in open-air systems such as cranes and solar systems. It employs a MEMS acceleration sensor and communicates data via the CANopen protocol. Special versions of the sensor can output acceleration data instead of inclination.
CANopen Functionality
The sensor supports multiple baud rates, with a default setting of 20 kBit/s. In the event of errors, it sends an emergency message and switches to a PREOPERATIONAL status. Errors are categorized into sensor system errors and communication errors.
CANopen Profile Definition
This section describes the objects used in the CANopen protocol, including:
  • Process Data Objects (PDOs) for transmitting inclination or acceleration data across three axes.
  • Service Data Objects (SDOs) for device type, error register, and manufacturer-specific information.
  • Diagnosis Objects for alarms and supported warnings.
Key Objects and Parameters
  • Object 1000: Defines sensor types based on axis and resolution.
  • Object 1001: Error register indicating generic, communication, and manufacturer-specific errors.
  • Object 1005: COB-ID-SYNC for sync messages from the master.
  • Object 1008-100A: Manufacturer-specific details like device name, hardware, and software versions.
Data Transmission
The sensor transmits 12 significant data bits for each axis (x, y, z) using PDOs. The standard NBN65 outputs inclination angles, while special NVA65 types output acceleration values.
Error Handling
Emergency messages are formatted with specific error codes, distinguishing between sensor system errors and communication errors. The error register consolidates all errors, with specific bits indicating the type of error.
Specifications and Parameters
The document outlines key parameters for the inclinometer using the NBN Standard CAN protocol, including:
  • COB-ID_GUARD: Identifies the guard message with a default value of 0x700 plus Node-Id.
  • COB-ID-EMCY: Used for emergency messages, default is 0x80 plus Node-Id.
  • Inhibit Time EMCY: Blocks time for emergency messages to reduce bus load, default is 1000 (100µs units).
  • Producer Heartbeat Time: Sends heartbeat messages at intervals defined by this parameter.
  • Identity Object: Contains manufacturer ID, product code, revision number, and serial number.
Procedures
  • Store Parameters (Object 1010): Saves writable objects to E²PROM when the correct password is provided.
  • Restore Default Parameters (Object 1011): Loads default parameters into RAM with the correct password.
Process Data Objects (PDOs)
  • PDO Asynchronous (Object 1800): Handles asynchronous and cyclic events with adjustable inhibit time.
  • PDO Synchronous (Object 1801): Manages synchronous events without an inhibit timer.
Mapping Objects
Defines the mapping for Transmit PDOs with specific coding for each mapping object.
Control and Configuration
  • Node-ID (Object 2000): Defines the node ID, valid after storage and power on.
  • Bit Rate (Object 2001): Sets the baud rate for the CAN bus, adjustable via LSS.
Manufacturer Specific Objects
  • Cyclic Timer (Object 6200): Sends position value cyclically based on the timer value.
Profile Definition Objects
  • Resolution (Object 6000): Defines the resolution of 16-bit objects.
  • Position and Operating Axes (Objects 6010-6031): Manage inclination/acceleration data for x, y, and z axes with scaling and inversion options.
Diagnosis Objects
  • Alarms (Object 6503): Monitors various errors such as EEPROM and sensor errors.
  • Supported Alarms (Object 6504): Lists possible error indications.
  • Profile and Software Version (Object 6507): Provides the current version of the inclinometer profile.
Conclusion
The document serves as a comprehensive guide to the specifications and functionality of the NBN 65 inclination sensor, emphasizing its application in open-air systems and detailing its CANopen protocol implementation.

TOITi Specifications Inclinometer NBN Standard CAN 1 General Refer to data sheet 11918 for the electrical and mechanical data. The sensor system is planned as a component for use in open-air systems such as cranes, lifting platforms, solar systems, etc. A MEMS acceleration sensor with downstream controller is used as the sensor system. Data output is carried out using the standard CANopen protocol. The sensor is equipped with a filter circuit to prevent fast transients and surge voltages on the supply up to 2 kV. Instead of the inclination, certain special NBN versions directly output the acceleration...
