MTS Sensors
Powerlink version available
MTS Sensors is launching a Powerlink version of the 'Temposonics RSeries V' magnetostrictive position sensors for industrial applications, which were previously available with Profinet, Ethernet/IP and SSI outputs.
Compared to the previous version, the Powerlink version allows the measurement to be started synchronously with the control system clock. The sensor can read out a resolution of up to 0.5 μm. The Powerlink sensor from MTS Sensors is available in rod form (RH) and profile form (RP). At 250 μs, the sensor achieves the same minimum cycle time as the 'R-Series V Profinet'. In addition, extrapolation in the Powerlink version enables the output of a new position value with every cycle, regardless of the sensor's measuring length.
The sensor also supports multi-position and multi-velocity measurements with up to 30 magnets. The optionally available 'TempoLink' or 'TempoGate' sensor assistants can be used to read out additional information about the sensor status, such as the total travel of the position magnet or the total operating hours of the sensor, and transmit this to the control system.
