General description of the KiTorq System

2. General description of the KiTorq System

The torque measuring flange consists of a KiTorq Rotor
torque measuring unit, a KiTorq Stator torque evaluation
unit, and a calibration of the combined torque measuring
linkage. All rotors and stators in the KiTorq system are
based on the same technology, so they can be combined
with the same speed measuring option. The members of
the this technological family can be recognized by their
type identification. The torque measuring units are
identified by the type range from Type 4550A… to Type
4559A…, and the torque evaluation units are found in the
range from Type 4541A… to Type 4549A… .

2.1 KiTorq stator torque evaluation unit

The torque evaluation unit (stator) supplies power to the
torque measuring unit (rotor), and receives data and
measured values. The digital measured values are
processed and prepared for various outputs. Depending on
the design of the evaluation unit, various types of outputs
are available.
Depending to the speed option (N1/N2/N3), the torque
evaluation unit additionally offers an integrated
speed/angle measurement system for a speed
Torque evaluation unit ≤20 000 min-1. Speed respectively angle can be transfered,
KiTorq Stator together with a reference pulse (Z-Impulse), as TTL signal
Type 454x… or read out from the serial interface.

2.2 KiTorq rotor torque measuring unit

The torque to be measured is captured by the torque
measuring unit, using strain gages, then amplified and
digitized. Due to this basic technology, all rotors in the
torque measuring flange system have a very high
bandwidth.

3. Transmission
Transmission of power and data from the torque
evaluation unit to the torque measuring unit takes place via
inductive coupling (telemetry), across an air gap of ≤2 mm.
Frequencies from the ISM band between 115 … 130 kHz
are used for this purpose.
The torque evaluation unit automatically adapts the power
supply during operation to the axial and radial position of
the torque measuring unit, thereby securing it for all
operating points.

The feed frequency is PSK modulated for sending data to

the rotor. Depending on the feed frequency, the data rate
can be between 360 ... 406 bit/s.

The ISM band frequency 13,56 MHz is used for receiving

the measurement data. The measurement data are also
transmitted from the torque measuring unit to the torque
evaluation unit via inductive coupling as a PSK modulated
signal, at up to 1,4 MBit/s. In addition to the torque, the
rotor measurement data include the temperature, supply
voltage, and EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable
read-only memory) contents.

Terminology Calibration

5. Terminology Calibration
5.1 Terminology
There is a fundamental difference between adjusting and
calibrating. Calibration is only the measurement of
a system. The output signal that arises for defined loads is
registered. For adjustment, the output is affected by an
adjusting element while under a defined load. The torque
measuring flange is adjusted at the factory.

When a torque measuring flange is ordered for the KiTorq

system, the calibration of one or more outputs can be
selected. In this case, the torque measuring unit provided is
calibrated together with the supplied torque evaluation
unit. An individual certificate is also included for each stator
and rotor. This means that the torque measuring flange
can also be combined from individual orders for torque
measuring units (rotors) and torque evaluation units
(stators) and commissioned accordingly, and that
a component that fails during operation can be replaced
directly, without removing and recalibrating the entire
torque measuring linkage. The measurement uncertainty
and the certificate of the torque measuring flange are
derived, in this case, from a measurement uncertainty
analysis or calculation from the individual certificates for
the rotor and stator.

If the frequency output or a digital output is used for

evaluating the torque, then the calibration of the stator is
not required.

Kistler recommends regular calibration of the measurement

linkage and the individual components of the torque
measuring flange. To this end, there is a sticker on each
torque measuring unit and torque evaluation unit that
shows the next recommended calibration date. The next
calibration date can also be found on the certificate of the
torque measuring linkage.

 KiTorq Torque Measuring Flange, Type 455xA...

The following illustration shows a simply setup for

a calibration system. Local gravity must be considered in
order to calculate the torque.

It is recommended that the calibration be performed by the

Kistler DAkkS laboratory. Available calibration types include
simple calibration, factory calibration (20 % load steps),
and DAkkS calibration per 51309 (3 mounting positions).

Typical setup of a KiTorq torque measuring linkage

6. Typical setup of a KiTorq torque measuring linkage

The illustration shows a typical setup of a measuring

linkage for determining torque. The torque acting on the
torque measuring flange is converted to a voltage or
a frequency. The torque measuring flange has a limit
frequency, which can be between 0,1 Hz and 10 kHz,
depending on its setting. In order to avoid aliasing effects,
a low-pass filter must be used prior to digitization. The limit
frequency of this filter must be selected depending on the
selected low-pass filter for the torque measuring flange
and the scanning frequency of the digitization.
The scanning rate must be at least twice the maximum
frequency to be measured (Shannon sampling theorem). In
order to retain good reproducibility of the signal shape,
however, a scanning rate of 3 … 10 times the maximum
frequency to be measured is recommended.

Examples:
In one application, a rotary vibration at a higher frequency
(2 kHz) is superimposed on a torque curve having a lower
frequency (100 Hz). The sampling rate is 10 kHz.

In order to size the filter, the highest frequency to be

measured is used. In this case it is 2 kHz. The limit
frequency of the input filter must be greater than the
2 kHz in any case. It must also, however, be much less
than the scanning rate. At a scanning rate of 10 kHz,
a filter with a 2 or 3 kHz limit is recommended. If the
scanning rate is much greater, such as 100 kHz, the filter
can also be set higher. In order to measure the rotation
vibration, the filter in the sensor is set to an appropriately
high limit frequency. In order to measure the superimposed
torque curve, the limit frequency of the filter in the sensor
is lowered.

Page 15 002-566e-03.23
 KiTorq Torque Measuring Flange, Type 455xA...

In order to prevent aliasing effects, a low-pass filter

should always be used before digitization. The limit
frequency is determined substantially by the scanning
rate; the limit frequency should be at least one third of
the scanning rate.

7. Vibrations
The installation of a torque measuring flange in a machine
train changes the vibration behavior by adding rigidity.
Under certain conditions, a rotary vibration can be excited
in the system by the drive controller or the test specimen
behavior.
If undesired vibrations occur in the torque signal for an
application, they can be suppressed or prevented by
various means.

Measures:
 Change the control parameters of the drive
 Change the rigidity of the system (e.g. by replacing the
coupling)
 If the vibration is above the maximum frequency of the
torque to be measured, the vibration can be suppressed
using a low-pass filter. Care must be taken, however, that
the vibration can lead to destruction of the torque
measuring flange if resonance occurs. This is because the
torque can be well above the limit torque but will not be
captured in the output signal, due to the low-pass filter.

002-566e-03.23 Page 16
Evaluation of the torque

8. Evaluation of the torque

In order for the output signal (voltage or frequency) of the

torque measuring flange to be displayed as a torque, the
measuring amplifier used must perform a correlation
between the output signal and the torque value. This is
generally a two-point evaluation. This means that the
output signal (characteristic value) that is present at the
nominal torque is entered into the amplifier. The
intermediate values result from a linear correlation.
Depending on the calibration and measuring amplifier
used, various possibilities are available.

Nominal characteristic value entry:

The nominal characteristic value can be found on the data
sheet for the sensor.

Entering the calculated characteristic value:

Every KiTorq torque measuring flange includes a certificate
for the KiTorq Rotor torque measuring unit and the KiTorq
Stator torque evaluation unit. The characteristic value can
be calculated from these documents.

Entering the characteristic value for the measuring linkage

calibration:
If the torque measuring linkage has a current calibration
certificate, the characteristic values can be taken directly
from the certificate.

Entering the interpolated value for the measuring linkage

Example:
calibration:
If a factory calibration certificate (FCC) is available, the
value for the measuring amplifier can be calculated from
the interpolation equation. This equation can be found on
the FCC. This is a regression line that is derived from all
points of the ascending sequences of the calibration.

The best result is obtained by entering the interpolated

characteristic value.

For a DAkkS calibration, a quadratic and a cubic function

and provided in addition to the linear regression line,
depending on the class. Entering these coefficients can
further increase the precision of the system. At this time,
however, there are very few measuring amplifiers on the
market that allow entry of these coefficients.

9. Running the measurement cable

 Do not run in parallel with high-current or control cables.
 Do not run near strong electromagnetic fields, such as
transformers, welders, contactors, motors, etc. If this
cannot be avoided, run the measurement cable in
a grounded steel shield conduit.
 At high speed probe frequencies, use of the X3 plug is
recommended in order to minimize coupling of the speed
and the torque signal.
 Avoid excess lengths of cable. If this is not possible, do not
coil the excess length into a closed ring. Keep the induction
area as small as possible.

Extraneous EMC interference on the measurement

cable must be avoided (e.g. triggered by switched
inverter of high-performance drive or brake machines)!
In this case, start the control function for drives that are
switched off.

In order to avoid errors, please note if cables are longer

than 10 m and conductors are distributed, that the speed
signal is isolated from the torque signal by feeders, just as
in the connector.

UB GND (A) and AGND (D) must not be connected

(electronics can be damaged).
It is recommended to use a differential amplifier input
for the output UA/AGND.

10. Standard calibration and special calibration

Standard calibration: The rotor is calibrated per WKS 1 as
a standard. If ordered as a measurement chain with a
KiTorq ­Stator, the rotor and stator are calibrate as a
torque measurement chain according to WKS 1.
The following signals are set as standard:
Frequency: 240 kHz ±120 kHz
Analog: ±10 V

Special calibration: Upon request, additional calibrations

can be ordered (e.g., second measuring range, another
frequency, DAkkS calibration, ...). More information is
available in the data sheet for the desired Type 454xA...
KiTorq Stator.

The torque measurement chain, consisting of the KiTorq

Rotor and KiTorq Stator, has its own separate calibration
certificate and a serial number.
If one of the components is replaced (e.g., with a KiTorq
Rotor with a different measuring range), then the virtual
calibration values for the new measurement chain can be
calculated from the individual calibration certificates for the
rotor and stator.
All output settings can be changed afterward by the
­customer. The calibration certificates apply only to the
settings at ­delivery, according to the order.

13. Brief instructions for commissioning Type 455xA…

The following describes how the Type 455xA… KiTorq
Rotor torque measuring unit and the Type 454xA... KiTorq
Stator torque evaluation unit can be mechanically installed
and commissioned.

13.1 Mechanical setup

The typical setup, with one torque measuring unit and one
evaluation unit, can be seen in the assembly examples.
As a rule, the measuring unit is connected directly to the
drive. The device under test is mounted on the measuring
side, using a coupling. Suitable couplings are available from
Kistler (torsionally rigid multi-disc coupling, Type 2305A…,
or adapter flanges and couplings Type 2300A… (couplings
on request)).

The Type 455xA... torque measuring unit is intended to be

mounted via an adapter on a supported shaft. Because
very high transverse loads can arise with even a slight
offset of the axes, the measuring unit must always have
a compensation coupling on the measurement side.

In general:
 The system must have burst protection that conforms to
applicable directives and laws.

 It is recommended that the critical torsional and bending

speeds be calculated for the drivetrain. These speeds
should be avoided during operation. For safe operation
of the system, it is recommended that the speed be held
at about 30 % above or below the critical speeds.

 After installation, the system should be operationally

balanced per DIN 2060, based on the speed.

 Machine vibrations should be checked per VDI 2056.

13.1.1 Mounting the torque measuring unit on the counterflange

When tightening the screws on the Type 455xA... torque
measuring unit (rotor), care must be taken to ensure that
the screws are tightened to the appropriate torque. The
sequence of tightening should always have screws in
opposite locations tightened in order. The minimum and
maximum thread-in depth must be observed in all cases.
There are also requirements for the flatness and runout of
the counterflange. The mechanical requirements are
summarized in the following table.

14. Standard calibration and special calibration

A Type 455xA... torque measuring flange consists of
a rotor and a stator. Both components are calibrated. If
a complete system (torque measuring linkage, KiTorq
system), consisting of a rotor and stator, is ordered, then
the system is calibrated. When ordering the individual
components, or replacing a components, the output signals
of the system can be calculated using the individual
calibrations of the components. For a description, see the
data sheet for the stator in question.

Calibration
Standard Calibration: The rotor is calibrated per WKS 1 as
a standard. If ordered as a measurement chain with a
KiTorq Stator, the rotor and stator are calibrate as a torque
measurement chain according to WKS 1.
The following signals are set as standard:
 Frequency: 240 kHz ±120 kHz
 Analog: ±10 V
Special calibration:Upon request, additional calibrations
can be ordered (e.g., second measuring range, another
frequency, DAkkS calibration, ...). More information is
available in the data sheet for the desired Type 454xA...
KiTorq Stator.
The torque measurement chain, consisting of the KiTorq
Rotor and KiTorq Stator, has its own separate calibration
certificate and a serial number.
If one of the components is replaced (e.g., with a KiTorq
Rotor with a different measuring range), then the virtual
calibration values for the new measurement chain can be
calculated from the individual calibration certificates for the
rotor and stator.
All output settings can be changed afterward by the
customer. The calibration certificates apply only to the
settings at delivery, according to the order.

22. Electrical and mechanical commissioning Type 454xA…

A light-emitting diode (LED) on the side (Plug X3, X4)
shows the operational state. The LED can light up in three
different ways:
GREEN GREEN and RED RED


ORANGE

Activation
The LED flashes green when powering up (operating
voltage applied). This is followed by a brief communication
with the torque measuring unit, which makes the LED flash
orange. Shortly thereafter, the LED lights up green, which
shows that the torque evaluation unit is ready for
operation. This procedure can take a total of about
5 seconds.

Communication PC  torque evaluation unit

If the torque evaluation unit is communicating with the PC
via the RS-232C interface or the USB inteface, the LED
lights up orange.

Torque overload
If the Type 4550A... torque measuring flange is mecha-
nically overloaded (nominal torque +10 % = maximum
operating torque), then the LED lights up red. If the Type
4550A... torque measuring flange is mechanically over-
loaded (nominal torque +10 % = maximum operating
torque), then the LED lights up red. This reverts to the
green state again when the torque measuring unit is back
within the nominal torque range.

Faulty behavior of the torque measuring unit/torque evalu-

ation unit
If the evaluation or measuring unit electronics are not
functioning properly, then the LED flashes red. If the same
behavior persists when the torque evaluation unit is
switched on again, then the torque measuring flange must
be sent back to the factory.

Taring
The user has three options for taring:

Mechanically, by pressing a button

The locking screw T can be removed using a size 2,5 Allen
wrench. Pushing the internal button then tares all outputs
of the sensor.

Electrically, using control voltage Type 4542A…

The sensor can also be tared by applying a voltage of
5 … 30 V to the plug X2 (tare cable).

Digitally via RS-232C or USB

Taring can be initiated by means of the included Type
4706A Sensor Tool software, or by setting up a HyperTer-
minal® connection.
If taring by means of RS-232C, this can be done via plugs
X2, X4. In order to be able to tare via USB (plug X5), the
locking screw must be removed.

Digital via field bus or industrial Ethernet Type 4542A…

There is the option to perform taring using the cyclical data
to the sensor. Alternatively this can be done via TCP/IP
(acyclic data, e.g., with PROFINET)

Calibration

23. Calibration
23.1 Torque evaluation unit (Stator)
The Type 4541A… torque evaluation unit has three analog
outputs. The following table shows the potential outputs.
The values in parentheses are adjustable, and the values
without parentheses show the standard setting.

Potential outputs for Type 4541A...

Voltage

X1 240 ±120 (100 ±40) (60 ±20) −
X3 − − − 0 ±10
X4 (240 ±120) (100 ±40) (60 ±20) 0 ±10

The Type 4542A… torque evaluation unit has a common

analog output (X3 or X4) and one frequency output (X4).
The following table shows the potential outputs. The
values in parentheses are adjustable, and the values
without parentheses show the standard setting.

Potential outputs for Type 4542A...

Voltage
Connector Frequency in kHz
in volts
X3 − − − 0 ±10
X4 (240 ±120) (100 ±40) (60 ±20) 0 ±10

Each torque evaluation unit is shipped with two calibration

certificates. The two independent voltage outputs X3 and
X4 are calibrated. Calibration of the frequency output is
not necessary, due to the high frequency stability and the
direct display of the frequency from the digital word of the
rotor. Every output can be calibrated as a measuring
linkage, together with a rotor (torque measuring unit).

23.2 Generating the system certificate from the individual certificates

The torque captured by the rotor is directly converted to
a digital value in N·m. These values can be found on the
rotor certificate. The stator certificate has the percentage
loading as the input variable, and the voltage at the first
output as the output variable.

In order to calculate the output, the torque measured by

the rotor must be expressed as a percentage of the
nominal torque.
The output voltage of the stator can then be calculated
from the certificate, using this percentage value. A line can
be created for any two measuring points.
The following applies for determining the torque value, as
a percentage:

The same method can be used to calculate the frequency

calculated simply by multiplying the desired percentage
level and the frequency swing.

24.1 Tips for using these operating instructions

We recommend thoroughly reading the entire instruction
manual.

Keep this instruction manual in a safe location, where it is

always accessible. If the manual is lost, please contact the
responsible Kistler sales office or representative, and ask for
a replacement.

Modifications to the device (alterations, upgrades, etc.)

generally also lead to changes in the instruction manual. In
this case, contact the responsible Kistler sales office or
representative about ways to update your documentation.

24.2 Nomenclature
This is an explanation of the nomenclature used in this
instruction manual, including abbreviations:

25. Interface commands

The RS-232C or USB interface can be used for
communication between the Type 454xA… KiTorq Stator
and a control PC. The ASCII commands to be used are
based on the SCPI-Standard (Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments) standard, in order to make
communications as simple and clear as possible.

Parameters of the RS-232C interface:

57600 bits/second
8 data bits
1 Stoppbit
no parity
no flow control

Parameters of the USB interface:

921600 bits/second
8 data bits
1 Stoppbit
no parity
no flow control

Each ASCII command contains an ASCII string, followed by

a terminator. Commands are listed and described in the
following chapters. The terminator string is left off for ease
of reading.

25.1 Conventions and syntax

The Type 454xA… torque evaluation unit (stator) responds
via the interface only if it receives a command from the
requestor (e.g., the PC). In other words, the PC is the
master, and the Type 454xA…is the slave. Master, Type
454xA…: Slave).

A response is always sent by the Type 454xA…

(acknowledgement), even if the requester sends only
configuration information.

The requester sends only ASCII commands, without

exception. A terminator string must always be added to the
end of these commands. The Type 454xA… transmits the
same terminator to the requester.

Syntax examples for determining torque:

Requester: MEAS:TORQ?<CR><LF>
Type 454xA… responds: 120,089<CR><LF>

002-566e-03.23 Page 62
Interface commands

Communication is not case-sensitive. The command

interpreter of the Type 454xA… also ignores any leading
spaces, or spaces within the command.

Examples:

Typical MEAS:TORQ?<CR><LF>
identical to MEAS :torq ? <CR><LF>
identical to MeaS :Torq?<CR><LF>

Syntax and conventions

The end of a command string must always be indicated
by a terminator (<CR><LF>).
A command for a request ends with a question mark
("?"), e.g. MEAS:TORQ?<CR><LF>.
When a configuration transmission has been sent
successfully, the numerical value zero ("0") is returned
as a confirmation.

Example:

Requester: OUTP:TARE:AUTO<CR><LF>
Type 454xA… responds: 0<CR><LF>

The period is used as the decimal symbol in floating point

numbers (e.g., 9.998).
If a command is not accepted for various reasons, then the
Type 454xA … torque evaluation unit returns a negative
error value.

Example of an incorrectly written command:

Requester: MEA:TORQ?<CR><LF>
Type 454xA… responds: ERR-100<CR><LF>

Error values and their meanings can be found in the

chapter "Error messages".

For ease of reading, the terminator string (<CR><LF>) is

left off in the descriptions below.

25.4 HyperTerminal®
Microsoft® HyperTerminal® can be used for basic
communication via the RS-232C or USB interface.
Commands are entered manually, sent to the Type
454xA…, and shown on the PC screen as acknowledged.

Using HyperTerminal®, it is possible to open simple

communications for initial commissioning or service
functions.

Configuration of the Type 454xA… and HyperTerminal is

explained in more detail in the following example.

Start HyperTerminal® from the Windows® PC’s Start group.

HyperTerminal® suggests a new connection. A name must

be defined to identify the connection, e.g. "454xA". The
HyperTerminal® settings can be saved later on the desktop,
and any desired symbol can be selected.

Confirm the entry with the "OK" button.

The RS-232C or USB interface connection is then defined.

The USB interface is shown as a virtual COM port in the

PC system, such as "COM12".

Confirm the configuration with the "OK" button.

002-566e-03.23 Page 68
Interface commands

The properties of the virtual COM port are defined for the
USB interface as follows:

921600 bits/second
8 data bits
no parity
1 Stoppbit,
no flow control

Transmission speed for RS-232C and USB cables

The definition of the transmission speed (baud rate)
depends on the length and quality of the cable.

Terminate the connection between HyperTerminal and the

Type 454xA… by clicking the "Hang up" symbol
because the terminal settings must first be entered
(alternatively, the menu selection "Call"  "Hang up" can
be used to terminate the connection).

Use the "Properties" symbol to open the window

with the COM port and terminal settings (alternatively, use
the menu selection "File"  "Properties").

Page 69 002-566e-03.23
 KiTorq Torque Measuring Flange, Type 455xA...

In the "Properties" window, click on the "Settings" tab.

The following settings must be made. They generally
match the standard settings:

Function key assignments: Terminal

Backspace sends: Strg+H
Emulation: Auto-detection
Telnet terminal detection: ANSI
Lines in screen buffer: 500

Clicking on the "ASCII Configuration" button opens the

window for defining the sent and received ASCII
characters. The following settings should be used:

Sent lines end with a line feed.

Show entered characters locally (local echo).

Confirm the settings with the "OK" button.

Also close the "Properties" window by clicking on the

"OK" button.

The connection to the Type 454xA… can now be

established by clicking on the "Call" symbol
(alternatively, use the menu selection "Call"  "Call").

002-566e-03.23 Page 70
Interface commands

To test the connection, enter the identification command

"*idn?" at the keyboard, and confirm with the ENTER key.

The Type 454xA… torque evaluation unit will respond with

the identifier string.

Command conventions and useful entry aids

Commands are not case-sensitive. Spaces are also
ignored. The asterisk symbol ("*"), which must be
included for special commands under the SCPI
standard, can be left out. For example, "*IDN?" is
identical to "IDN?"
In order to correct commands that were entered
incorrectly, the backspace key can be used to delete
individual characters.
Entering an exclamation point ("!", Shift+1 key) causes
HyperTerminal® to display again the last command sent
to the Type 454xA….

The HyperTerminal® settings can be saved to the PC

desktop. This makes future access to HyperTerminal® faster
and easier.

To do this, open the Save window in HyperTerminal® using

the menu selection "File"  "Save as …".

Select the save location as "Desktop" and save the file as

"454xA.ht" by clicking on the "Save" button.

The assigned symbol then appears on the desktop. It can

be clicked at any time to start HyperTerminal® with the
previously saved settings.

signal.

25.6.12 Absolute/Relative angle measurement (SYST:SPE:MODE)

SYST:SPE:MODE:ABS
SYST:SPE:MODE:REL
SYST:SPE:MODE:STAT?

The digital angle measurement values as well as the

physical angle outputs at plugs X2 and X4 can be adjusted
to absolute measurement by the command
SYST:SPE:MODE:ABS or to relative measurement by the
command SYST:SPE:MODE:REL.
If the mode is set to ABS (absolute), the sensor needs a
reference cycle after powering up the system (LED shows
constant green). The rotor needs to be turned for 360 °
until the sensor gives an angle measurement value.
If the mode is set to REL (relative), the sensor shows
immediately the angle measurement values after powering
up.

29.2.5 Rotor temperature and measured value status Type 4542A…

The status of the rotor temperature measured value can be
determined in address 0x0C. The following bits are
significant:

VALID T (Addr. 0x0C, Bit 3)

This bit indicates whether the rotor temperature measured

value has a valid value. If the measured value is valid, the
bit has the condition "1".
Rotor temperature measured value (Addr. 0x1C, 4 Bytes)

The rotor temperature measured value is transferred as a

whole number and signed value (4 bytes). This measured
value must be assigned a fixed 3 decimal places; only then
can the measured value be completely interpreted.

Example:

Rotor temperature 25000

Fixed decimal places 3

Actual measured value 25,000 °C

29.2.6 XML file Type 4542A…

An XML file is necessary to describe the EtherCAT
configuration of the Type 4542A…, which is included on
the CD-ROM in the scope of supply of the Type 4542A... .

This XML file is absolutely necessary to include the Type

4542A... correctly in the EtherCAT network.

The following bits have the following meaning:

TARA M (Addr. 0x00, Bit 0)

If this bit is set, the taring of the torque measured value is

triggered.

TARA a (Addr. 0x00, Bit 1)

If this bit is set, the taring of the angle measured value is

triggered.

CONT (Addr. 0x00, Bit 2)

This bit is set to trigger the self-test (commonly called

control or calibration signal). The torque measured value
takes the nominal value.

RANGE (Addr. 0x00, Bit 3)

The measurement range of the sensor is selected with this

bit. If the bit value is “0”, it corresponds to the nominal
range (1:1). If a “1” is written in the bit, the expanded
measurement range (1:x) is selected.
