How to Correctly Select the Parameters of the Tilt Sensor



You need to choose your own tilt sensor according to your own needs.

Basic parameters of tilt sensor

1. Range

The range is the maximum range that can be measured by the sensor, which refers to the value of the difference between the upper and lower limits. Each sensor has its own measurement range, and when it is measured in this range, the output signal of the sensor has a certain accuracy. An acceleration sensor with a range of less than 1G is used as an inclination sensor, and a range of more than 1G is used as an acceleration sensor or vibration sensor. Because the larger the range, the less accurate. The biaxial tilt sensor ER-TS-4250VO can be selected in a range of +90°, while the uniaxial tilt sensor can be selected in a vertical direction of 360°.

2. Accuracy

In the process of testing and measurement, measurement errors are inevitable. There are two kinds of errors: systematic error and random error. The causes of system error, such as the inherent error of measurement principle and algorithm, inaccurate calibration, environmental temperature influence, material defects, etc., can be used to reflect the degree of influence of system error. The cause of random error is the gap of transmission components, aging of electronic components, etc. The precision can be used to reflect the influence of random error. Precision is a comprehensive index that reflects systematic error and random error, the higher the precision means the higher the accuracy and precision.

3. Zero offset

Zero drift means that when the input of the sensor is constant zero, the output value of the sensor will still change slightly to a certain extent. There are many reasons for zero drift, such as the change of the characteristics of the sensitive elements in the sensor with time, stress release, element aging, charge leakage, environmental temperature changes, etc. Among them, the zero drift caused by ambient temperature change is the most common phenomenon.

4. Input frequency

The frequency response characteristics determine the frequency range to be measured, and must allow the frequency range without losing the true measurement conditions, in fact, the sensor response will always have a certain delay. The higher the frequency response of the sensor, the wider the frequency range of the signal that can be measured, and the greater the interference. The lower the sensor frequency response, the narrower the frequency range of the signal that can be measured, and the lower the interference. In practical applications, a large number of measured signals are time changes, such as changes in current value, changes in object displacement, changes in acceleration, etc. This requires that the output of the sensor not only accurately reflect the size being measured, but also keep up with the speed of change being measured. In the frequency response range of the sensor, the amplitude of its output has a small change in the -constant range (maximum attenuation is 0.707). Therefore, when the input value is done sine

When changing, it is usually believed that the output value can correctly reflect the input value, but when the input value changes more frequently, the output value will produce significant attenuation, resulting in large measurement distortion.

5. Communication interface

RS232, TTL, RS485, RS232, CAN bus, voltage, current, SPI, IC, Profibus interface optional.If you want to learn more about tilt sensors or buy
