Inclinometer senses vibration

The JN-series features high precision across the total angular range in two axes and a very low temperature drift ( ± 0.002°K). The upgrade includes 3-axis vibration monitoring. 

Typical applications are the detection of structural vibration or tower vibration to ISO 4866, or machine monitoring to ISO 10816.

As an inclinometer, the JN2100 is suitable, for example, for the levelling of mobile machinery (2-axis position detection and zero-point levelling), automatic adjustment of solar panels or levelling of wind turbines. Since zero point, direction of counting (± 180° or 0-360°) and limit frequency can be set for a stable output signal (20, 10, 5, 1, 0.5Hz), the sensor can be adapted precisely to different applications.

The JN2100 covers ± 180° with a resolution of  0.05°, an accuracy  of ≤ ± 0.5° and  repeatability of  ≤ ± 0.1°. 

Using the CANopen interface and bus capability the sensor can be integrated into CAN networks according to the communication profiles CANopen CiA DS-301 and CiA DSP-410. Connection is made using M12 connectors with clearly visible LEDs – enabling the terminating resistor is optional. In addition, the sensor has an E1 approval and provides the signals, among others, as perpendicular or Euler angle. The new inclination sensor guarantees optimum reliability with maximum precision.

The JN is built into a diecast housing capable of withstanding the rigors of the harshest environments over a temperature range -40 to 85°C and rated IP 65 / IP 68 / IP 69K.
