EZ-VIB-2000-005 / EZ-VIB-2000-015 RS232/ANALOG/PWM Linear Vibration Resistant Single Axis Tilt Systems

EZ-TILT-2000 rev-2 advanced programmable dual/single axis LINEAR Analog/Digital output tilt module is built around a customized state of the art CMOS Microprocessor. A 2"x 2" assembled PCB provides concurrent Analog, PWM and RS-232 inclination information up to two axis of tilt. The module is fully temperature compensated for NULL and GAIN. The system includes full range linearity correction for each axis of tile and two software adjustable threshold detectors. In this configuration the module utilizes SX-VIB type ( SX-005D-VIB or SX-015D-VIB) single axis Vibration resistant LINEAR inclination sensors for single axis mode and provides an economical and reliable tilt sensing solution for high vibration applications requiring superior Nulling capabilities with concurrent excellent Mid-Wide range LINEARITY, resolution, repeatability and symmetry. Rugged construction make these sensors perfectly suitable for numerous high Vibration precision OEM, military, medical, optical, automotive, range finder, alignment, automation, robotics and construction angle measurement applications. EZ-TILT-2000 rev-2 also includes two fully programmable level threshold detector lines what allow the user to set level sensitive alarms for pitch and roll. Innovative design, four mounting holes and small size facilitate uncomplicated mounting. For hazardous applications tilt sensors could be remotely located. Both Analog and PWM outputs are fully software programmable and are updated each read cycle for each enabled axis. The analog output range is top limited by 4Vdc and bottom limited by 1Vdc for the full set angular range. The PWM will output 10% to 90% duty cycle for the set angular range at base frequency of 37Hz. Exceptionally stable and consistent performance in temperature variable environments and it's LOW cost make EZ-TILT-2000 rev-2 the perfect choice for high accuracy leveling applications. In addition to digital filtering the electrolyte may be modified to mechanically filter out errors induced by shock & vibration. Test data could be supplied on 3.5" disk upon special request. Module is able to operate in a stand-alone mode with a 4 line x 20 character serial LCD display. The wide range model could operate to +-90 arcdeg covering a total span of 180 arcdeg. Module may also be available on 0.9" x 3.0" PCB for angle measurement in bore hole, tunneling, logging and oil drilling applications. The system includes software adjustable temperature correction coefficients. The user has an option of changing temperature correction coefficients to actively remove NULL and GAIN drift due to continuously changing thermal conditions. .
