Posital TILTIX inclinometers

Posital TILTIX inclinometers are available with a Modbus RTU interface. Modbus RTU protocols, which are openly published and royalty free, have emerged as a de-facto standard for simple, robust and cost-efficient data acquisition and control systems built around standard PLCs. Modbus RTU nodes can be connected together through RS485 serial connections with up to 32 devices connected to the bus.

The inclinometers offer a full 360° single-axis version or dual axis ±180°, and a shock immunity of up to 100 g. Tough fibre-reinforced PBT and heavy-duty die-cast aluminium housings are available.

The inclinometers have programmable measurement resolution, zero setting and direction via an API.

The inclinometers with Modbus RTU interface are suitable for solar energy systems where it is necessary to monitor the spatial orientation of multiple collectors or reflectors. They can also be used in materials handling equipment or for many other applications where a practical, low-cost position control solution is required.
