4.1. Mechanical drawing
Figure 1 - Mechanical drawing of QG65D with a male M12.
4.2. Mounting
•Use the 4 screws provided (M5x25 mm zinc plated steel Pozidrive pan head screws with
self-tapping PZ DIN7500CZ) to mount the device.
•If a software zero adjustment is impossible or undesirable, DIS provides an optional
reference solution of replacing 2 of the provided screws with 2 optional 4mm Ø
positioning pins, which can serve as mechanical reference.
•Tightening torque max. 2.5 Nm. A higher torque can cause damage to the housing or the
internal electronics.
•Fix the sensor to a perfectly flat surface.
•A 1-axis inclinometer must be mounted vertically. The factory default zero position is with
the male connector pointing down as shown in Figure 3. Sensor can be zero adjusted at any
position within the full range.
•A 2-axis inclinometer must be mounted horizontally. The factory default zero position is
shown in Figure 2. After installation, sensor can be zero adjusted to eliminate the
mechanical offsets within a ±5°offset range.

4.3. Connection
The sensor is equipped with either a single 5-pole M12 (A-coded) male connector according to IEC
61076-2-101, or with an additional 5-pole M12 (A-coded) female connector. This is specified in the
suffix of the device model designation: suffix CM indicates single male connector; suffix CFM
indicates both a female and a male connector.
The advantage of two connectors is that devices can be daisy-chained in the CAN network. The
voltage supply is forwarded from the male to the female connector, providing both power and bus-
connection to the next sensor with a single cable harness. The connection between male and female
connector acts as an internal T-junction.
The pin assignment is according to CiA 303-1 V1.8.0.

Figure 4 - Pin definition
•The maximum current for the internal T-junction is 2.5 A. This must be taken into account when
using daisy-chained connections.
•The voltage supply must be dimensioned to prevent exceeding the specified voltage limits.
•The power consumption is about 50mA typical.
•The power supply must be IEC Class 2 protected.
•Connect the sensor only to an approved CAN controller which must have a grounded shield.
Alternative: connect the sensor housing to a grounded shield. All mentioned EMC standards that are
met (see Declaration of Conformity) have been done with the housing connected to a grounded
shield.
Installation of wiring and the opening and closing of electrical connections must only be carried
out in de-energized state!Short-circuits, voltage spikes, etc. can cause malfunctions and/or cause the
installation to become uncontrolled, creating a serious risk of injury or damage to property.

4.4. CAN termination
A CAN bus should be terminated properly to prevent signal reflections. The QG65D CANopen
dynamic Inclinometer has an internal 120 Ohm termination resistor. By default, this is disabled, but it
can be enabled with object 3003h.
A separate M12 termination resistor and T-connector are also available as accessories for CANopen
devices.

Order code: 10217
Figure 6 - M12 CAN terminator female 5p.
Order code: 10194
Figure 7 - M12 T-connector male 5p.
Order code: 11822
The advantage of using a separate termination plug instead of the internal termination resistor is
that an external termination plug is clearly visible. This helps to prevent an inadvertent double
termination that could cause the entire CAN bus to malfunction.

6. Functional description
6.1. Dynamic inclination measurement principle
Conventional inclinometers measure inclination by measuring g-forces using an accelerometer. In
static conditions, inclination measurement by this principle is accurate and reliable. However, the
vibrations or movements present on almost all industrial machines generate undesirable g-forces.
These dynamic g-forces accumulate and overlay the static g-forces, causing a ‘dirty’ inclination
output that includes spurious or noise components.
In certain applications a low-pass filter can be used to stabilize the output. The downside of this
filtering is that it significantly increases the reaction time (latency) of the inclinometer. In a control
system this results in a -limit on the speed of movements, and reduced machine efficiency.
A gyroscope measures the speed of rotation. It therefore measures inclination perfectly in dynamic
situations, but in static situations it is useless, due to bias drift.
The QG65D dynamic inclinometer combines accelerometer MEMS and gyro MEMS. This device is
unaffected by vibration or movement, and can therefore measure the true angle at the sensor
position in real time. Our smart algorithms (such as Kalman filtering) within the device can determine
the balance between the accelerometer MEMS (best result in static situations) and the gyro MEMS
(best result in dynamic situations).

6.2. Measuring axis and direction
6.2.1. Measuring axis and direction for Inclination
A single-axis inclinometer (vertical mount) measures the inclination in the vertical plane over
the full range 0-360°(X-output). The default 0°position and the measuring direction are shown in
Figure 9 - Measuring axis and direction of 1-axis inclination.
Figure 9 - Measuring axis and direction of 1-axis inclination.
A dual-axis inclinometer (horizontal mount) measures the inclination on both X and Y axis.
Measuring range is up to 90°. Due to the measurement principle, only one axis may tilt more than
45°.
Figure 10 –Measuring axis and direction of 2-axis inclination.
Cross-tilt error: when the cross axis (axis perpendicular to the measuring axis) tilts more than 45°during the
measurement, the measuring axis will be disabled. The sensor will send a fixed CAN output to indicate that the
sensor is now at a cross-tilt error position (→Knowledgebase): 20000d(200°) for the measuring range ±180°,
±30°/ ±90°, and 40000d(400°) for the measuring range 0°-360°. In addition, an EMCY message will also be sent,
in which the last 5 bytes (00 00 00 00 01/02h) specifies the cross-tilt error on the X or Y axis (→Object 1002h
Manufacturer status register).

6.3. Signal processing
6.3.1. Sampling rate
Each axis of the acceleration and gyroscope MEMS is sampled by the internal microcontroller at a
rate of 1000 Hz. Those samples are then processed and fed into the sensor fusion algorithm.
6.3.2. Sensor fusion algorithm
The sensor fusion algorithm transforms the raw MEMS outputs into a reliable inclination value.
Based on the selected function mode, application profile and user-adjustable parameters, the smart
algorithm will combine the accelerometer and gyroscope outputs in a balanced way optimised for
your application. The limitations for the sensor fusion algorithm are: acceleration max 1.5 g, angular
rate max. 500°/s. The calculation rate, and therefore also the output rate, is 100 Hz.
6.3.3. Digital filters
To eliminate noise or reduce the bandwidth, the inclination values can be further processed with
extra digital filters. In each application profile, those filters can be enabled and configured using the
DIS QG65D configurator, or with the CAN object dictionary.
Output filter
A 1st order low-pass filter is implemented for reduction of bandwidth and filtering noise. Each
application profile has its own default filter settings, which can be set via subindex 06hof CAN object
3021hto 3024h. Another way to control the filter settings for the current active application profile is
via object 300Eh. The value you set with 300Ehwill also be written to the corresponding object for
that active application profile (object 3021h~ 3024h). The filter settings are effective on all sensing
axes, but by default they are disabled.
By setting a time-constant τ (time in which the output changes to 70% of the step after a step
response), the -3 dB frequency can be calculated by the formula f = 1 / (2π*τ). A longer filter time
results in a narrower bandwidth and therefore less noise, but also causes a longer phase delay.
This -3 dB frequency is independent of TPDO event time. However, when the output filter time-
constant is set to a value lower than the TPDO event time, the output filter is automatically disabled.
For example, if TPDO event time is set to 100 ms, and output filter time is set to 50 ms, this filter will
not work.

Moving average filter
The final inclination output is an average of the last N samples. The sampling rate of this filter is
10 ms. The various application profiles have different default filter settings. This filter can be
controlled via CAN object 3021hsubindex 07hto 3024hsubindex 07h. It can also be controlled for the
active application profile via CAN object 300Dh. In this case the sensor will update the correct object
of the active application profile (in the range 3021hsubindex 07hto 3024hsubindex 07h). The moving
average filter is disabled in the factory default application profile 1.
N must be a number from 0d -10d. Setting the N to 0dand 1d will disable this filter.
The TPDO event timer decides the cycle time of the TPDO message. By default, the sensor sends a
new TPDO every 100 ms. This TPDO message contains an inclination measurement which is an
average of the preceding N x 10ms samples and is totally independent of the TPDO event time.
Example:
TPDO event timer = 50 ms, N = 7: every 50 ms, a new average inclination value from the previous
70 ms samples will be supplied in the TPDO message.

6.4. Function mode
The QG65D can measure inclination, acceleration and rotation. By selecting the function mode via
object 3007h, the sensor is configured to function as an inclinometer, accelerometer, gyroscope or a
fusion sensor. Once a function mode is selected, the TPDO mapping parameters (→8.1.12, page 31)
are automatically configured with the predefined objects and object entries. The user can also define
the TPDO mapping objects manually; the function mode is then changed to Mode FFh (user defined
mode).

6.5. Application profiles
The use of application profiles is the best practice for inclination measurement in various
applications. Each profile has a unique combination of parameters that balance the processing
between acceleration MEMS and gyroscope MEMS, to produce the best measurement quality for
that application.
Four application profiles are provided that can be configured via CAN object 3004h. As they are
intended to improve the inclination measurement, the profiles are only effective in a function mode
where the inclination outputs are valid (mode 0, 1, 2, 5 and FF). For each profile, two parameters are
available for optimisation of the outputs.

6.6. Output format
Inclination output format: CAN output = 100*α. (α = angle in °, factory default resolution is 0.01°).
CAN outputs are sent with PDOs (→7.3 PDO (Reading sensor output).
For example:
Figure 14 - Output 1-axis ±180°sensor
Figure 15 - Output 2-axis ±90°sensor
In Figure 14, the sensor sends 1 axis inclination output with 2 Bytes Integer (Table 5).

In Figure 15, the sensor sends 2 axis inclination outputs with 4 bytes integer. The 1st two bytes are
the X inclination and the 2nd two bytes are the Y inclination (Table 6).

Besides inclination values, the device also provides acceleration, angular rate and device
temperature. The user can customise the device outputs by changing the TPDO mapping parameters.
(→Object 1A00h, 1A01hTPDO Mapping parameter). For example, 1st two bytes are the device
temperature, the 2nd two bytes are the inclination output (Table 7).

6.7. Boot-up procedure
When the device is powered on, it automatically enters NMT Initialisation state. In this state, the
device will be initialised with the default parameters of the manufacturer-specific profile area and of
the standardized device profile area. When initialisation is complete, a bootup message 00hwill be
sent with the heartbeat (700h+ Node ID). If an error is detected during the boot up, an emergency
message with the error information will be sent.
6.8. Emergency message
When the device detects an internal error, an emergency object (80h+Node ID) with 8-bytes message
is transmitted. The error code is inserted at the location of object 1003h (pre-defined error field), and
the device enters the error state which is defined in Object 1029hError Behaviour (default: NMT pre-
operational state).
The first 3 bytes indicates the error code specified in CiA301 and error register specified in Object
1001h. The remaining 5 bytes indicate the manufacturer-specific error specified in Object 1002h.

When all errors are corrected, the device enters the error-free state and transmits an emergency
object with the error code ‘reset error / no error’ containing all 0 s.

6.9. LSS (Layer Setting Service, according to CiA305-DSP)
Layer setting services (LSS) and protocols are used to request or change the settings of three
parameters of the physical layer, data link layer and application layer on a CANopen device via the
CAN network. It is supported only in NMT stop mode or pre-operational mode.
The QG65D device is serviced as a CAN device, and a CAN master such as a PLC can detect and
configure those three parameters with LSS:
•Node ID (→object 3000h)
•CAN bus bit rate (→object 3001h)
•LSS address: 128-bit number to identify each node uniquely, consisting of the vendor ID, product
code, revision number and serial number with 32 bits each (→object 1018h)
After changing parameters using LSS, a save action must be performed. Normally your LSS tool can
be configured to perform an automatic save (store), as shown below:
Figure 16 - LSS save action

It can also be requested with object 100AhManufacturer software version. The message format is
“Vx.x.x” in ASCII, for example: V1.0.0.
The currently-installed firmware version might vary from the version on the sticker due to a firmware
update. Always check the actual version in the object dictionary.
It will soon be possible to update the firmware via the DIS configuration tool. This tool can check the
current firmware version in your device and upload the new firmware to the device. The user can
upload the new firmware to the device by simply clicking a button (Figure 18).
Figure 18 - Firmware update via configurator
The firmware release notes are available at www.dis-sensors.com under “downloads/user manuals”.
6.11. Load factory default settings
Factory reset or load factory default settings allows users to restore the device to its original
manufacturer settings. The customer settings which were saved to the EEPROM will be overwritten
by the factory default settings.
With object 1011h, the factory default settings below can be restored. Customised products may
have different factory default values, which may deviate from this manual. See the datasheet of your
customized products for these customized factory default values.
