3.4 2-point teaching operation

The 2-point teaching operation is only supported by 1-dimensional inclination sensors with measuring range

0... 360°.

2-point teaching means the measuring range is defined manually by teaching the minimum and maximum

values. Within the sensing range, the output signals come as analog values. Outside the sensing range, the

output value jumps from the maximum to the minimum signal value at half the rotation angle (see 3.3.1

Analog output signals). When the sensor is inclined in the opposite direction the value jumps from the

minimum to the maximum signal value.

To activate the teaching function, apply a HIGH signal (≥ 0.7 * Vs) at pin 5 of the teach input (see 4.1

Electrical connection). The two limits must not be too close to each other but provide a minimum angular

difference of > 5°.(see 4.1Electrical connection).

Description

Initial situation

DUO-LED is green continuous

Activate

> 5 s

Start the teaching operation within 5 minutes after

power on. Set teach input on HIGH for >5 seconds

(≥ 0.7 * +Vs).

DUO-LED: flashing amber after 5 seconds

Get sensor to position 1

Get inclination sensor into the position intended for

min. voltage output / current output

Confirm position 1

> 0.1 s

Set teach input on HIGH for >0.1 sec.

DUO-LED: Amber continuous for 3 seconds, then

flashing

Get sensor to position 2

Get sensor to the position for maximum voltage/current

output. Make sure there is a difference of >5° between

the two positions.

Sens of rotation in the teaching operation is the same

as in the later application.

Confirm position 2

> 0.1 s

Set teach input on HIGH for >0.1 sec.

DUO-LED: amber continuous for 3 seconds, followed

by 3x flashing green.
