Measuring ranges
You can set the measuring ranges for acceleration and angular velocity in parameter F800:11 "Range". Factory setting: "+/-2000dps, +/-16g".
This parameter applies to all six measuring axes. An individual setting for individual axes is not possible.
The setting of the measuring ranges also influences the following factors:
- The measured value noise. The smaller the selected measuring range, the lower it is.
- The resolution of the measured values. See chapter Measured value resolution.
Setting via numerical values
You will need the following information if you do not set the measuring ranges in TwinCAT via the dialog box.
The angular velocity measuring range and the acceleration measuring range are each coded in a hexadecimal digit ("Nibble") in parameter F800:11 "Range":
Possible values for the angular velocity measuring range:
Value | Angular velocity measuring range |
|---|---|
0 | +/- 2000dps |
1 | +/- 1000dps |
2 | +/- 500dps |
3 | +/- 250dps |
4 | +/- 125dps |
5 | +/- 62.5dps |
6 | +/- 31.25dps |
7 | +/- 15.625dps |
Possible values for the acceleration measuring range:
Value | Acceleration measuring range |
|---|---|
0 | +/- 16g |
1 | +/- 8g |
2 | +/- 4g |
3 | +/- 2g |
