Inclinometers are a valuable device for measuring the angle of equipment without any moving parts; the solid-state system is housed in a rugged metal case for mounting directly onto machinery.
There are a wide range of protocols available to provide interface to most types of control systems, these include: CanOpen, voltage 0 to 10, current 4–20 mA, pulse with modulation, RS232, digital set point, DeviceNET and ProfiBUS.
Fraba/Posital have recently extended their range from ±15°, 15° or 30° to include a single-axis unit capable of measuring the full 360°, and a dual-axis unit with ±80° — both with CanOpen output protocol.
Typical applications include mobile equipment, earthmoving machinery, cranes and hoists, drilling equipment to list just a few.
