Smart duo for mobile off-highway machines
The N6 static enables high measurement precision under harsh environmental conditions in stationary operation or in the event of slow machine movement. For easy conversion, the sensor is backwards-compatible with the previous N3, N4 and N5 tilt sensors from elobau. A gyroscope is also integrated into the N7 dynamic, which enables high-precision measurement even in dynamic applications. Both sensors are suitable for use in off-highway machines, for example in agricultural and forestry machinery, construction machinery or industrial trucks.
Durable design, flexible use
The design is built to last with IP67/IP6K9K protection (ISO 20653). The sensors operate in a temperature range from -40° C to +85° C and are shock-resistant up to 50 g.
The designers placed particular emphasis on easy adaptability to the respective measurement application. The sensors can be configured with various connections – Deutsch DT06-8S, 1x M12 5-pin/2x M12 5-pin (CANin/CANout). Looping through the CAN signal (daisy chain) is possible in conjunction with the 2x M12 5-pin plug and facilitates simplification of the cable harness.
The N6 static and N7 dynamic tilt sensors based on MEMS technology are designed for communication in a CAN bus system with the CANopen and SAE J1939 protocols, each with or without relay switching output. The N6 static also offers an analogue signal with 4–20mA or 0.5-4.5V.
Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS ISO 14229) expand the range of functions with a diagnostic option and software update, which enables uncomplicated parametrisation, update capability and simplified variant management.
The N6 static and N7 dynamic can be installed approximately 30% faster than most other tilt sensors due to the 2-point mounting with M6 screws. Only a flat, sufficiently large surface is required for assembly; no further mechanical modifications are required. By using integrated connectors, the sensors can be easily integrated into existing cable harnesses.
Precise, even if things get bumpy
The N7 dynamic is used when the mobile machines are mainly exposed to jerky movements, vibrations and shocks. The raw data from the acceleration sensor and gyroscope are combined using complex sensor fusion algorithms (Kalman filter). As a result, the N7 dynamic also delivers more stable and precise output signals in dynamic than sensors without sensor fusion.
