TÜV-certified PROFIsafe inclinometer
The model NBT/S3 PROFIsafe inclinometer from TWK-ELEKTRONIK has now been certified by TÜV according to the EN61508 and ISO13849 standards.
Inclinometer NBT/S3 SIL2/PLdThanks to its redundant sensor system and internal monitoring measures, it is classified according to SIL2 or PLd. This means that it can be operated directly on a safe control system. It supplies a safe inclination angle with a resolution of 0.01 degrees. The version with a measurement axis has a measuring range of ± 90 degrees and is suitable for all tilting or rotary movements around an axis. In turn, the 2-axis version with a measuring range of ± 20 degrees for both axes is suitable for levelling platforms and vehicles.
A VDMA parameter library is available for downloading to calculate the entire safety function using calculation tools such as Sistema. The standard version is equipped with M12 connectors for the supply and for two PROFINET ports. It can therefore be integrated into the existing PROFINET network in a linear or tree structure. LEDs for supply voltage, link and status facilitate commissioning and fault finding. It comes with a robust aluminium or stainless steel housing and can be supplied with systems of protection up to IP69K.
