3. Position Change („SLOPE“)
The same sensor as for „SHOCK“ is able to determine the direction of gravity and thus define the current
position of the GX111. If the GX111 changes its position (angle, not location!), this may be used to trigger
an alarm.
It is not important which axis the product turns around, but that each axis is looked at separately.
Thus, a diagonal can lead to a higher total angle than permitted. This must be observed when
determining the threshold.
The axes run along the housing edges.
The following command sets the threshold of a position change to <slope threshold>. At the time, the cur-
rent position in space is saved as a reference value. If the position deviates from the set reference value
by the set threshold, an alarm is triggered.
SET SLOPE <slope threshold> #1513
Threshold:1-180(1=minimumslopeindegrees,180=maximumslopeindegrees)
Note:
As a threshold, the angle change to the position is set in which the product was at the time of
„SET SLOPE…“.
The currently measured value for „STATUS“ is also based on this reference position.
