Magnet detector configuration
Parameters groups "magnet-A, magnet-B"
The system responds to a change in the magnetic field in the range of the sensors
These parameter groups allow you to configure the detection of magnets by two sensor magnets separately
Parameters description
- dV - the response of the system over the magnetic field
- th - sensitivity detection setting. The parameter values are selected based on the noise level (0.25 ... 10.0)
- B (mGs) - current level of field strength in mGs measured by the sensor
- buffer size - the size of the history buffer for analysis (100 - corresponds to 1 second maximum value 250, minimum 10)
- buffer window - analysis window (50 - corresponds to 0.5 sec). The buffer size / buffer window ratio affects the speed sensitivity of the magnet
- th in delay & th out delay - time setting for detection when dV is exceeded above th and at detection loss at dV is less than th
- state - the state of detection of the magnet
- counter - the the lifetime magnet events counter.
See figure 1 for details.
Setting parameters for detecting magnets
1. The magnets detection settings are made separately for magnetic sensors A and B, see corresponding magnet-A, magnet-B parameter groups. The difference between the use of sensors A and B is that a separate LED (green) and sound indication is provided only for sensor B.
In order to indicate the alarms through sensor A, you must additionally configure the magnet with trolley to detect magnets without metal compensation. In this case, the light (red) and sound signaling corresponding to the magnet with trolley functionality will be used.
Sending information on the number of shifts of magnetic detectors for a period or messages about a tripping can be performed on the basis of counter and state variables independently.
2. To assess the level of the magnet's influence, use the variable dV, which should be chosen for monitoring.
The system should tuned to the best sensitivity when detecting moving magnets using the parameters th, buffer size, buffer window, th in delay / th out delay, taking into account the noise level.
The magnet detector is evaluated using the state and counter variables, as well as based on the external LED indication (green for magnet-B).
The range of detection depends on the level of magnetic induction of the magnet, the direction of its magnetic field and the speed of motion. For tuning, you can use a standard magnetic puller with an induction of 6-10,000 Gauss.
After the settings, save the settings.
3. False triggering in some cases can be caused by impulse and constant interference at the installation site, for example, when the sliding doors (especially with the DC collector drive) are close (<2 m), when power consumers switch on/off the power line (depends on Parameters of the mains), with close proximity (<0.5 m) of mains power lines, with close location (<25 m) of transport routes (metro, tram, parking). The detuning from false alarms can be performed by a load of sensitivity (increase in th), as well as an increase in the delay in triggering th in delay.
