4.1 Use and application
The PMI360D-F130... inductive position measuring system is a high-precision measuring
system for non-contact recording of the position of rotary actuators and valves. But, thanks to
the option of user-friendly and flexible configuration, it is also suitable for universal sensing of
rotary motions around a fixed center of rotation in all fields of mechanical, system and
apparatus engineering.

In addition to its 4 ... 20 mA analog output, the PMI360D-F130... has two independently
configurable switching outputs providing two important positions (e.g. start and stop positions).

Furthermore, the "zero point" of the analog output can be selected as desired to balance out
mechanical ranges, e.g. during mounting. This significantly facilitates both mounting of the
PMI260D-F130... and subsequent calibration during commissioning.

Mounting the BT-F130-A target (see chapter 4.4) on the sensor housing bore enables position
sensing. This target rotates in the central bore of the PMI360D-F130 and contains the metal
insert required for position sensing. It is optimally designed for the mechanical conditions of
valves or rotary actuators.

Note!
The BT-F130-A target can be omitted. If you choose to do so, a metal target must be secured to
the sensor housing bore. This metal target must meet the material, dimensional and distance
requirements of the PMI360D-F130... inductive position measuring system.

4.2 LED indicators and control buttons

A Display LEDs
B Programming teach-in buttons

There are 3 LEDs and 3 programming buttons on the top of the PMI360D-F130....

The middle "Power ON" LED is green and lights up when the position measuring system is
connected to the supply voltage. The two "S1" and "S2" LEDs are yellow and serve to indicate
the status during the configuration process and in normal operation.

The programming buttons serve to configure the position measuring system. The middle S0
button is used to configure the "zero point" of the analog output and the outer "S1" and "S2"
buttons are used to configure the switching points of the sensor's two switching output stages.

The "S1" and "S2" LEDs correspond in each case to the "S1" and "S2" programming buttons.

5.3 Electrical connection

When connecting the sensor electrically, proceed as follows:

Electrical connection
1. To connect the sensor electrically, use one of the cables listed in the chapter entitled Ac-
cessories with an M12 x 1 5-pin connector.
2. Make sure when laying electrical cables that you have the cable at the correct orientation
for connection.
3. Make sure when routing cables that they are sufficiently spaced away from other current-
carrying system parts. This is the only way of ensuring adequate protection against short
circuits and/or crosstalk.
4. Before connecting the cable to the sensor, make sure that you have aligned the cores. On
Pepperl+Fuchs connectors, the core colors are assigned to the connection pins in
accordance with DIN EN 60947-5-2.
5. Connect the cable to the sensor-side connector and tighten the union nut by hand.
6. Connect the operating voltage.
The green "Power ON" LED on the sensor will now light up. The yellow "S1" and "S2"
LEDs can also light up, depending on the position of the target.

6.1 Configuration of switching outputs
The switching points are set at the factory to the angular positions 30° (S1) and 220° (S2).
Configuration can be used to locate these switching points at each desired position. To
configure switching output 1 (S1), proceed as follows:

Configuration of S1 switching output

1. Make sure that the sensor is correctly and securely mounted and that a target with the spec-
ified dimensions is located at the correct distance to the sensor surface (see chapter enti-
tled Installation).
The sensor's green LED lights up.
2. Move the target to the desired position at which the S1 switching output is to be active.
3. Press the S1 button for ≥ 2 s.
The yellow LED flashes to indicate the teach-in position of the S1 switching point.
4. Check that the target is in the correct position and press the S1 button again.
The setting is now saved in the sensor's memory. The yellow S1 LED now lights up
permanently. This serves to indicate that the S1 switching point has been successfully
taught at the current position.

To configure switching output 2 (S2), proceed in the same way. Actuate the S2 button for this
purpose. An indication is made by the S2 LED.

6.2 Configuration of analog output

The start point of the analog output is set at the factory to the position angle 0°. When the target
is put in this position, a current value of 4 mA is the analog output. You can configure the start
point of the analog output at any desired position. To configure the analog output, proceed as
follows:

Configuration of analog output

1. Make sure that the sensor is correctly and securely mounted and that a target with the spec-
ified dimensions is located at the correct distance to the sensor surface (see chapter enti-
tled Installation).
2. Switch on the sensor.
The sensor's green "Power ON" LED lights up.
3. Move the target to the desired position in which the start point (smallest analog value - 4
mA) of the analog output is to be located.
4. Press the S0 button for ≥ 2 s.
The green "Power ON" LED flashes to indicate the teach-in of the start point for the analog
output.
5. Check that the target is in the correct position and press the S0 button again.
The setting is now saved in the sensor's memory. The green "Power ON" LED now lights
up again permanently. This serves to indicate that the start point for the analog output has
been successfully taught at the current position.

The analog output value increases beginning at the configured position when the target moves
in the clockwise direction. The entire range of analog output values is reproduced in one
rotation of the target.

Output performance in normal operation

7.1 Performance of S1 and S2 switching outputs

The position of the target is determined by the position measuring system. It is half the target
width (middle of target). The switching points are set at the factory to the angular positions 30°
(S1) and 220° (S2). You can configure the sensor to locate these switching points at each
desired position see chapter 6.1.

The corresponding switching output is activated when the metal target reaches the
programmed S1 or S2 position. When the metal target is removed from the programmed S1 or
S2 position, the switching output returns to the original position. When the metal target leaves
the evaluation range of the position measuring system, an active switching output changes to
the original position ("Up" position), while a non-activated switching output remains unaffected
by this.

7.2 Performance of S0 analog output

The position of the target is determined by the position measuring system. It is half the target
width (middle of target). The start point of the analog output is set at the factory to the position
angle 0°. The start point of the analog output can configured to any desired position anglesee
chapter 6.2. At this position the analog output indicates a current value of 4 mA. When the
target rotates in the clockwise direction, the current increases proportionally to the scanned
angle of rotation. After precisely one rotation, the analog output reaches its maximum value of
20 mA. If the target continues to rotate slightly, the output value jumps to 4 mA and a new cycle
begins.

When the target leaves the measurement range of the position measuring system (e.g. when
the target is removed), the last valid value is retained for 0.5 seconds. Then the output values
changes to the default current of 3.6 mA. The output remains at 3.6 mA until the target returns
to the measurement range of the position measuring system.

8.1 Maintenance
The sensor's transmission properties are stable over long periods. For this reason, regular
adjustments to, and maintenance on the sensor itself, are not necessary. Nevertheless check in
the course of normal maintenance intervals that the sensor, the target and the connector are
securely attached. Also check that the connecting cable is intact and correctly routed.
