Inclinometer NBT/S3 SIL2/PLd

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the technical specifications and operational details of the NBT/S3 inclinometer, a device using MEMS technology for inclination measurement. It is compatible with PROFIsafe/PROFINET and is designed for industrial environments.
Specifications:
  • Measurement Axes: 1 or 2
  • Measuring Range: Selectable from ±5° to ±90°
  • Housing Material: Aluminium or stainless steel
  • Protection Type: Up to IP69K
  • Certification: TÜV certified as of hardware version 2
Design and Function: The inclinometer uses MEMS sensors to detect inclination through changes in capacitance due to gravitational acceleration. It features a redundant sensor system for plausibility checks and outputs a single position datum. The device is resistant to vibration and shock, with a stable housing achieving a high protection class.
Interface and Communication: It integrates a Profinet interface supporting Real Time (RT) and Isochronous Real Time (IRT) communication, includes a 2-fold switch for network topology flexibility, and implements the PROFIsafe protocol for safety.
Performance and Accuracy:
  • Accuracy: ±0.25° to ±0.5° depending on the measuring angle and conditions
  • Drift: Varies with temperature, from ±0.3° to ±0.6°
  • Response Time: 1 second for full value change
Environmental and Electrical Data:
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C
  • Shock and Vibration Resistance: Compliant with DIN EN standards
  • Power Supply: 9 to 36 VDC, <3 W power consumption
Safety and Compliance: The device meets SIL2 and Performance Level D standards, with a maximum service life of 20 years. It complies with various EMC standards and is designed for high reliability and safety in industrial applications.
Installation and Accessories: The inclinometer can be installed using M5 bolts with adjustable slots for mechanical alignment. Various connectors and cables are available as accessories, and detailed installation instructions are provided.
Installation Positions: The inclinometer can be installed in six different positions, each affecting the available measurement axes. Examples of configurations for each position are provided, indicating which surface of the housing should face upwards.
Signal Path: The direction of rotation for positive output values is specified, with options for clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) settings.
Ordering Information: An ordering aid is included, specifying how to configure the inclinometer based on desired axes and installation position. A standard version is available, with options for custom configurations through customer service.
Key Parameters: The importance of specifying the installation position when ordering is highlighted, as it determines the measurement axes. The standard model includes a PROFINET/PROFIsafe interface.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY SENSOR ■ SIL2 and Performance Level d ■ Number of measurement axes: 1 or 2 ■ Selectable measuring range: ± 5° to ± 90° ■ With preset function ■ Housing: aluminium or stainless steel ■ Protection type: up to IP69K ■ As of hardware version 2 TUV certified Design and function The inclinometer measures the inclination in the gravitational field by means of MEMS sensors (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) with subsequent digitisation and linearisation via controllers. It has a stable aluminium housing (optionally stainless steel) and is highly-resistant to vibration and shock. Casting measures in the housing lead to the achievement of protection class IP 69K. 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 a. In this case, the angle a 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 NBT has a redundant MEMS sensor system, which is used to make a plausibility check inside 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 two systems higher than a certain value, the sensor will enter the failsafe state. The Profinet interface according to IEC 61158 / 61784 or PNO specifications order No. 2.712 and 2.722, version 2.3, is integrated into the inclinometer series NBT/S3. Real time classes 1 and 3 are supported, i.e. Real Time (RT) and Isochronous Real Time (IRT) plus the requirements of conformance class C.The integrated 2-fold switch enables the TWK PROFINET inclinometer to be used in star, tree and line network topologies. The PROFIsafe protocol is implemented according to the PROFIisafe Profile for Safety Technologie version 2.4 (PNO Order No. 3.192). An exhaustive description of integration into a PROFINET network can be found in the NBT13912 manual.

SUPREME SENSORING General description Behaviour in the event of a measured value change due to averaging: Dynamic, arithmetic averaging of the measured values is implemented in the inclinometer. This involves linear averaging over 1000 values, whereby a new value is recorded every millisecond. This results in a low-pass effect. In the event of an abrupt change in the measuring angle, the end value is reached after approx. 1 second. In the event of a linear change in the measuring angle, the relevant output signal follows after a delay of approx. 0.6 seconds. Other, e.g. shorter, values may be...
