to the direction of gravitation at the teach moment� The X
b
direction of the
reference system results from the projection of the X
s
axis of the sensor to the X
b
Y
b
plane of the reference system�
The Y
b
axis then corresponds to the direction which is perpendicular to both the Z
b
and the X
b
axis�
The result of this is that at the teach moment the X
S
axis must not be parallel to the direction of
gravitation� As long as the value for the index 2042h is 1, all angle indications are converted into the
new reference system�
The teach operation can, for example, be as follows:
The measured object with the non-aligned inclination sensor is brought into a
known horizontal position� In this position the teach function is carried out, thus
defining the new reference system� All provided angle values then refer to this new
reference system�
Even with an inclination sensor which is installed at an angle note that the x axis (X
S
axis) of the
sensor is parallel to the X
b
Z
b
plane of the requested reference system�
Explanatory example
Inclination sensor installed at an angle in the
coordinate system of the workpiece� The coordinate
system of the sensor is transferred to the coordinate
system of the workpiece by teaching the sensor
when the workpiece is horizontally aligned�
The raw data of the sensor is indicated in the
coordinate system of the sensor�
In teach mode the data is converted into the
coordinate system of the workpiece�
The example shows a rotation of 30° about the y axis of the coordinate system of
the workpiece�
