Description

The BWSENSING BWK216S employs a high-stability MEMS accelerometer core to provide accurate single-axis inclination measurement across a full ±180° range. Its digital signal conditioning ensures minimal drift and high repeatability, making it suitable for long-term monitoring applications. The sensor’s robust design includes an IP67-rated, magnesium-aluminium alloy enclosure that protects against dust, moisture, and mechanical shock up to 2000g.

Engineered for industrial environments, the BWK216S operates across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and features a fast start-up time of under 3 seconds. Its configurable output frequency allows system designers to balance data refresh rate against communication bandwidth, optimizing performance for applications from slow structural tilt monitoring to high-speed robotic feedback loops.

Key Features

  • Industrial-grade MEMS accelerometer technology ensures long-term stability and low temperature drift.
  • IP67 protection rating and rugged metal alloy shell provide durability in demanding outdoor and factory floor conditions.
  • Wide operating voltage (9-35V DC) eliminates the need for precise voltage regulation in most industrial settings.
  • Selectable digital output protocols (TTL, RS232, RS485) offer direct compatibility with a vast range of control systems and data loggers.
  • High shock resistance (2000g, 0.5ms) ensures reliable operation in applications with vibration and impact.
  • Adjustable output frequency (5-100 Hz) allows optimization for real-time control versus power consumption and data load.
  • Extended operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) supports deployment in extreme climatic and industrial environments.
  • Compact form factor (55mm x 37mm) facilitates installation in space-constrained machinery and structures.

Applications

  • Solar panel tracking systems for optimal sun-following angle control.
  • Structural health monitoring of communication towers, cranes, and wind turbine masts.
  • Robotic arm and automated platform leveling and pose feedback.
  • Heavy machinery and construction equipment tilt and roll-over prevention.
  • Precision agriculture for monitoring implement and sprayer boom angles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the TTL, RS232, and RS485 interfaces on the BWK216S?

The BWK216S sensor can be configured for one of three digital output protocols. TTL provides a simple 0-5V logic-level serial output ideal for direct connection to microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. RS232 offers a standard serial interface for connection to PCs or industrial PLCs with COM ports over longer cable runs. RS485 is a robust, differential industrial communication standard supporting multi-drop networks over significant distances, perfect for distributed monitoring systems.

How do I power the BWK216S sensor and what are the wiring requirements?

The sensor accepts a wide 9-35V DC supply, making it compatible with common 12V or 24V industrial power rails. Connection is made via the sensor's multi-pin connector; the specific pinout for power, ground, and data lines depends on the selected output interface (TTL/RS232/RS485). Always refer to the product datasheet for the correct wiring diagram corresponding to your chosen communication mode to ensure proper operation.

Can the BWK216S be used outdoors or in wet conditions?

Yes, the BWK216S is designed for harsh environments. Its IP67-rated enclosure provides complete protection against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Combined with its operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it is suitable for outdoor installation in applications like solar tracking, agricultural machinery, and structural monitoring.

What is the output data format and how do I configure the output frequency?

The sensor outputs digital angle data in a serial format specific to the selected interface (TTL/RS232/RS485). The data packet typically includes the measured angle value. The output frequency, adjustable from 5 Hz to 100 Hz, is configured via specific commands sent to the sensor over its serial interface. Consult the manufacturer's communication protocol documentation for the exact command set to adjust this parameter.
