IG316 and IG326

The inductive loop detectors IG316 (single-channel) and IG326 (dual-channel) were designed for the reliable vehicle detection at barriers, gates and parkings. They are used for vehicle access control at door and barrier controls, for monitoring the occupancy and for vehicle counting in parking garages, for signal output with traffic light installations and traffic controllers, for direction detection of vehicle traffic and for safeguarding and monitoring of e.g. conveyor systems, car-wash plants. The detectors are optimized for the reliable detection of different vehicles such as bicycles, motorcycles, cars, heavy goods vehicles, cars with trailer, forklifts and others.

FEATURES:

• Reliable data acquisition independent of environmental influences
• Intuitive pre-configuration without supply voltage and easy initial operation
• Fast automatic tuning after switch-on
• Wide adjustable range of response sensitivity
• Sensitivity boost
• Selectable relay functions: Permanent or impulse mode, impulse signal when leaving the loop, switchable turn-on / turn-off delay, 
•  Closed / open circuit principle
• Continuous adjustment of frequency drifts because of e.g. changing temperature and humidity
• No interference of loop frequencies due to "multiplex mode" (only IG326)
• High noise immunity due to frequency adjustment and oversampling
• Permanent loop control and display via LED blink code for immediate detection of inductive loop failures (loop short-circuits, loop disruptions, wrong frequency range, operational disturbances, alignment time)
• Direction signal (only IG326)
• Wide inductivity range: 20 μH - 2000 μH
• Simple simulation mode to test peripherie

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

The induction loop detectors IG316 (single-channel) and IG326 (dual-channel) analyze the loops in the ground, working as inductivities of a high frequency oscillating circuit. The metal body of a vehicle passing the loop causes a characteristic change of circuit frequency. The loop detector analyzes it and sends a switching signal to the potential free relay output. This is also displayed at the front panel LEDs.

The loop signals are analyzed by a microprocessor. When the detector is switched-on an automatic alignment with the connected inductive loop is executed. There is no interference of loop signals since the dual-channel version IG326 analyzes the loops in a defined order (multiplex mode) so that only one loop is active at one time.

The single-channel version IG316 analyzes the loops continuously. Changing loop inductances because of temperature or humidity are automatically compensated.
Via rotary and DIP switches on the front the detector can be comfortably set.

For the versions IG316S and IG326S all current parameter
and diagnosis values can also be set and readout via serial interface on the front of the device.

This is done by means of the LoopMasteroperating program which is available free of charge and which additionally offers extensive loop and detector analysis functions. The trend-setting customizing allows an individual configuration and setting of operating elements and functions.

For heavy industrial use the protecting enclosure GHIG301is available.
