Combining High Accuracy and Low Cost

The economical inclinometers from POSITAL provide an impressive accuracy of 0.1°, making it the most accurate option when compared to the conventionally used potentiometer - or pendulum-based inclinometers. In addition, they feature built in filtering functionality which can be easily optimized to best suit an application.

US Digital releases two new communication protocols for its T7 absolute inclinometer, widely used within the concentrated solar power market. The versatile inclinometer is now available with RS485 or Modbus protocols. RS485 communication allows for T7 signals to be transmitted over long distances, along with the ability to network multiple T7s on the same cable run. Modbus now allows the T7 to communicate by means of an industry standard protocol to most PLCs offered on the market. The addition of two new T7 communication protocols along with the existing RS232 and CAN communication makes the T7 the most easily applied inclinometer on the market.
