Overview of functions

The functionality of the EL5072 is summarized in the following table. A detailed description can be found in the individual chapters.

Function

Description

Parameterization for evaluation of the measuring probe

LVDT, inductive half bridges and RVDT sensors can be connected and evaluated.

Filter function for mechanical cut-off frequency

The input signal can be filtered by specifying a mechanical cut-off frequency.

Direction inversion

The position direction can be adapted to the application.

Position value output

The measured value is output as a position value.

Position value overflow / underflow

Exceeding and falling below the maximum counter depth are displayed in a separate process data.

Set position value

The position value can be set to a specified value at runtime via the process data or the digital input.

Save position value

The current position value can be saved, independent of the cycle time, in a separate process data via an edge at the digital input.

User calibration

It is possible to parameterize a user calibration via offset and gain values or via a lookup table.

Diagnostic data

Different diagnostic data are available. In this way, a short circuit on the primary side and an amplitude error on the secondary side can be detected.

Process data

Description

Operation modes

The scope of the process data can be selected via "Predefined PDO Assignment".

Synchronicity mode

Frame-triggered operating mode (SM mode) and time-synchronous recording of the latch timestamp signal (DC latch active) are available.

Digital input

Description

Digital input

The digital input can be used to set and save the position value.
