1.3 Notes on CE Marking
The following apply to the ACC5703:
- EU Directive 2014/30/EU
- EU Directive 2011/65/EU
Products which carry the CE mark satisfy the requirements of the EU directives cited and the European
harmonized standards (EN) listed therein. The EU Declaration of Conformity is available to the responsible
authorities according to EU Directive, article 10, at:
MICRO-EPSILON MESSTECHNIK
GmbH & Co. KG
Königbacher Straße 15
94496 Ortenburg /Germany
The measuring system is designed for use in industrial environments and meets the requirements.
1.4 Intended Use
The ACC5703 is designed for use in industrialapplications. It is used for
measuring acceleration measuring vibration of manoeuvrable components
- The system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see 2.3.
- The sensor must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material
goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the sensor.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.
With the principle of an acceleration sensor, forces that change the velocity of an object are measured and
transformed into an electric output signal.
Therefore the sensor is mounted on the maneuverable component. The expected moves correspond to the
measurement axes. The included MEMS-Element converts the acceleration into a usable electric signal.

2.2 Structure and Electrical Connection
The sensor is ready for operation immediately after connecting the power supply and will provide the acceleration as electric value at the analog output.
The ACC5703 is available with analog (current, voltage and switching output) as well as RS485 interface for
configuring of the sensor using the software.
Power supply and signal output are connected through a 8-contact (M12) connector on the sensor’s housing.

4.4.1 Continuous Operation Mode
The sensor makes the acceleration value available as analog output variable either as current or voltage
value on separate pins, depending on the configuration using the software tool of Micro-Epsilon.
In this process, the symmetrical measurement range in the unit g is scaled to the respective analog range.
The sensitivity increases with decreasing measurement range as only a small acceleration range is scaled to
the same output range, see Fig. 8, see Fig. 9.

4.4.2 Switching Operation Mode
The switching mode, configurable via Software, switches the analog voltage output to 5 V when the acceleration value reaches
the trigger-level “on-level” and switches back to 0 V when the acceleration value falls below the “off-level”.

Fig. 10 Settings of switching mode
That functionality can be used, for example, as safety feature which switches off a machine if high vibrations occur. The triggerlevels take effect symmetrically, i.e. in the positive and negative acceleration range at the same absolute value, see Fig. 11.
The output values at the digital interface in switching mode are either zero or equal to the “on-level” as long as the trigger condition is met.
The duration of the rising and falling edge is t < 10 μs, see Fig. 12.
Two different modes are selectable:
- Edge triggered, i.e. immediate switching when reaching the trigger-level.
- Edge triggered with delay, i.e. switching after specified time during which the trigger-level is reached permanently.
The minimum hold time of the switching status depends on the selected sampling rate, see Fig. 13.

4.5 Configuration of Sampling Rate and Low- and High-pass Filter
Parameters, like sampling rate or filter frequencies, are adaptable in a wide range in order to match the respective application.
The high-pass is configured to reduce influences of low frequencies especially to hide earth acceleration. The
low-pass is configured to hide disturbances at high frequency.

Different low-pass filter settings, see Fig. 15, cause the sampling rate to change respectively. The chosen lowpass frequencies furthermore have influence on the available high-pass filter options.

1) Digital interface RS485 is enabled only up to 1000 Hz sampling rate. At higher rates only the analog output
is active.
4.6 Digital Output RS485
You can read out the measured data in digital form using the RS485 interface in a sampling rate up 1000 Hz.
For higher sampling rates only the analog operation is possible. The PC software sensorTool, see A 2,
permits configuration of the sensor and the visualization of the measured data, see A 1. The bus protocol
required to read out the measured data in your own applications is described in the appendix, see A 4.
Additionally, you can use the IF1032/ETH interface converter by MICRO-EPSILON MESSTECHNIK GmbH &
Co. KG, to read out the measured data via Ethernet.

Operation
5. Operation
The measurement device is already calibrated when delivered. Calibration by the user is not necessary. After
connection to the operating voltage, the sensor is immediately ready for operation and independently initiates
the measurement.
Additionally, the digital RS485 interface is ready to react to enquiries by the master (periodic retrieval of measured data).
For sensor configuration please use the power supply and output cable with USB/RS485 converter, see A 1
as well as the software of MICRO-EPSILON.
Allow the sensor to warm up for approximately 10 minutes after connection of the voltage supply.
i
6. Liability for Material Defects
All components of the device have been checked and tested for functionality at the factory. However, if defects occur despite our careful quality control, MICRO-EPSILON or your dealer must be notified immediately.
The liability for material defects is 12 months from delivery.
Within this period, defective parts, except for wearing parts, will be repaired or replaced free of charge, if the
device is returned to MICRO-EPSILON with shipping costs prepaid. Any damage that is caused by improper
handling, the use of force or by repairs or modifications by third parties is not covered by the liability for material defects. Repairs are carried out exclusively by MICRO-EPSILON.
Further claims can not be made. Claims arising from the purchase contract remain unaffected. In particular,
MICRO-EPSILON shall not be liable for any consequential, special, indirect or incidental damage. In the interest of further development, MICRO-EPSILON reserves the right to make design changes without notification.
For translations into other languages, the German version shall prevail.

A 4 Digital Interface RS485
A 4.1 Hardware Interface
The interface is a half-duplex RS485 interface, which means that one cable pair is jointly used for sending and
receiving.
Baud rate230400 b/s
Data format1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit even, 1 stop bit
Bus address126
Fig. 16 Settings of the RS485 interface
A terminating resistance of 120 Ω is required between the A- and B-line of the RS485 interface at the beginning and the end of the RS485 bus. A terminating resistor of the RS485 line is not incorporated in the sensor.
It is therefore allowed to connect several sensors to one bus cable.
A 4.2 Protocol
The sensor acts as RS485 slave. As the system uses a half-duplex protocol, only the master can initiate
communication. Each device at the RS485 bus requires its own address. The master sends an enquiry with
the destination address to the bus and only the slave with this address answers accordingly.

The measurement data consists of one status byte, one measured values counter, number of measured values, and the measured data. The measured values counter increases continuously with each sampled value.
It represents the number of measured values buffered in the sensor since the last enquiry by the master and
therefore represents the number of the measured values transmitted in this package (floats).

Appendix | Digital Interface RS485
A new sampled measurement value is saved to the internal buffer of the sensor. The maximum number of
values which can be saved is 19 for each measurement axis. Therefore, an enquiry by the master must reach
the sensor within a certain time, that depends on the set sampling rate, in order to read the content from the
internal memory and ensure uninterrupted sampling (periodic enquiry).
- Example 1 kHz: 19 values * 1 ms = 19 ms
- Example 250 Hz: 19 values * 4 ms = 76 ms
If the enquiries are not made in time, error flag 0x01 is set in the status byte. The measurement is continued
anytime, i.e. the values in the buffer which are not read will be overwritten with updated measurements. The
buffer content is, therefore, always updated. The overflow error flag is deleted automatically as soon as the
master resumes its periodic enquiries.
The analog output remains unaffected by this. The first measurement value in the Data[] package is the oldest measured value. A measured value is represented as 4-byte float data type in the unit [g]1.
