The inclinometer is designed to accurately measure inclination angles in three directions X, Y and Z in the range of ±180º. The CANopen® device profile for inclinometers [DS-410], defines the X-axis as the longitudinal measurement, and the Y-axis as the lateral measurement. For all axes, the range of measurement is up to ±180º.
The angles are measured by a two-axis MEMS sensor, which senses acceleration caused by the gravity force in three orthogonal directions. The output signals from the MEMS sensor are normalized and processed by a powerful microcontroller to receive inclination angles. The resolved angles can be then sent to the CAN bus.
The inclinometer is designed to not only comply with the CANopen® profile, but to also support a variety of extra features that makes it a more versatile sensor. Several of the optional Communication objects outlined in DS-301 are supported by the Inclinometer beyond those referenced in the device profile DS-410. The unit has user programmable functionality using SDO object access, per CiA DS-301. An EDS file is provided to interface to standard CANopen ® tools.
