2. Functional Principle, Technical Data

2.1 Measuring Principle

The construction of the measurement coil and measurement electrodes is concentric. Both therefore measure

against the same target (measuring object). The signal of the capacitive displacement sensor is a function of

the working distance, the thickness of the insulator and e

. At the same time the eddy current displacement

sensor measures the distance to the ground electrode (for example flat sheet or to a metal roller positioned

behind the film). The measurements are output as analog voltages of 0 to 10 VDC and digital signals through

Ethernet or EtherCAT at the following controller.

2.1.1 Capacitive Principle

The principle of capacitive distance measurement is based on the parallel plate capacitor.

If a constant AC current I

flows through the sensor capacitor, the amplitude of the AC voltage U

at the sen-

sor is proportional to the distance d between the capacitor electrodes.

Fig. 1 Electric field of a capacitive sensor, no insulator material in the gap.

The measured AC voltage is demodulated, amplified and output as an analog voltage. The sensor design

with guard ring electrodes guarantees that the ideally necessary homogenous electrical field is realized for all

practical purposes.

A measurement object that is too small and curved (uneven) measurement surfaces also produce a

non-linear characteristic.

Functional Principle, Technical Data

combiSENSOR 64x0

2.1.2 Eddy Current Principle

The eddy current principle is used for making measurements on targets made of either ferromagnetic or non-

ferromagnetic electrically conductive materials.

High-frequency alternating current flows through a coil in the sensor.

The electromagnetic coil field induces eddy currents in the conductive target thus changing the AC resis-

tance of the coil.

This change in impedance is interpreted by demodulation controllers which generate an electrical signal

proportional to the distance of the target from the sensor.

A compensation technique reduces temperature-dependent measuring errors to a minimum.

If the material of the counter electrode is changed, the measuring system must be rebalanced.

2.1.3 Thickness Measurement

The main field of application is the traversing thickness measurement of plastic film or of plastic coating on

metal plates. Arithmetical coupling of the two sensor signals provides compensation of mechanical changes,

for example thermal expansion, deflections, eccentricity in the measurement device. Through the redundancy

of this combined sensor principle, the measured thickness value remains unaffected by any changes in the

measurement setup. The target thickness T is calculated from both sensor signals.

Functional Principle, Technical Data

combiSENSOR 64x0

A constant dielectric constant of the target is required in order to obtain correct measuring results.

The thickness value can be calculated and output directly in the controller.

With measurement objects presenting a structured surface, a target thickness up to a maximum of 50

% of the working distance is recommended. If necessary, use a sensor with a larger target thickness

instead.

In contrast to the capacitive signal of the sensor, the output signal of the eddy current signal is not being

affected by the materials in the measuring gap and is therefore determined by the distance between the sen-

sor and the ground electrode.

2.2 Structure

The non-contact, single-channel measuring sys-

tem, see Fig. 3, installed in aluminium housings,

consists of:

- a KSH5 or a KSH10 sensor

with sensor cable,

- a KSS64x0 controller.

Fig. 3 Single-channel measuring system with sensor and

controller

2.2.1 Sensor

In its sensor housing the combiSENSOR combines an eddy current displacement sensor and a capacitive

displacement sensor. In order to obtain accurate measuring results, the surface of the sensor must be kept

clean and free from damage. The capacitive measuring process is area-related. The combiSENSOR requires

a minimum area of ø 45 mm (KSH5) or ø 65 mm (KSH10).

Page 14

Functional Principle, Technical Data

combiSENSOR 64x0

2.2.2 Sensor Cable

The sensor and controller are connected by a special, double screened, 1 m (3 ft) long sensor cable KC1.

Do not shorten or lengthen these special sensor cable. Do not crush the sensor cable. Do not modify

the sensor cable. This leads to a loss of functionality or of the specified technical data.

Install the sensor cable in a protected area.

A damaged cable can not be repaired. The sensor cable is not suitable for cable carriers. Minimum bending

radius: 20 mm (once), 80 mm (permanently).

Switch off the power supply of the controller, when plugging and removing connectors.

2.2.3 KSS64x0 Controller

The controller contains an oscillator and

a signal conditioning electronics for the

sensor. The capacitive and eddy current

part of the sensor are synchronized with

each other.
