Safety Instruction
Read these instructions carefully prior to installation and
operation.
This manual is intended for professionals who perform
the installation and the setup. The assembly of the
system requires knowledge of mechatronics and general
health and safety regulations. Follow all warnings and
instructions for your own safety and the safety of your
system.
These operating instructions apply to the incremental
magnetic sensing head IKS9 in connection with a
magnetic scale for linear or rotary applications.
Risk of electric shock or short circuit!
Incorrect handling of electrical equipment can be fatal or
cause damage to property.
Danger to life!
Unauthorized use of the system can be highly dangerous.
The magnetic position sensing heads must not be used in
life-saving systems such as airplanes etc.
Risk of pinching
There is a risk of getting pinched between the sensing
head and the magnetic tape. This can lead to injury or
mechanical damage. Avoid getting with your limbs and
tools near the gap between the head and the tape while
the measuring system is in motion!
Dangers that may follow
Malfunctions of the measuring system can lead to further
risks to the device or the system in which it is embedded.
When there is evidence that the measuring system is
not working properly, it must be put out of operation and
secured against unauthorized use.
The prescribed safety regulations must be observed for
the use of position sensing heads. In particular, measures
must be taken to prevent dangers to people and property
in the event of a failure. This includes the installation of
additional safety limit switches, emergency stop switches
and the observance of the required environmental
conditions.
Risk of damage for the magnetic layer
Magnetic tapes and sensing heads can be damaged by
magnetic fields!
Apply only demagnetized tools for assembly and
maintenance!
Improper storage of magnetic tape rolls can lead to
magnetic interaction between the layers and thus to a
reduction of the measurement accuracy.

Electromagnetic Compatibility
For the electrical connection it is essential that the
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is guaranteed.
• System and control cabinet must be connected to the
same ground potential.
• Use shielded cables. Connect the cabinet side of the
cable shield with protective earth (PE).
• Avoid installing in close proximity to power lines.
• The nominal operating voltage (see datasheet) must be
observed even if there is a voltage drop along the supply
line!
• Determine the place of installation so that inductive
and capacitive interferences cannot affect the sensor.
By adequately routing the cable, interferences can be
reduced.
Intended Use
The incremental magnetic sensing heads IKS9 are part
of a highly accurate measuring system consisting of
magnetic scales and sensing heads capable of contactless
position detection for linear and rotary applications.
Fields of deployment:
• mechanical engineering
• automation
• medical engineering
• electrical engineering.
The system consists of a sensing head and a linear
or rotating magnetic scale and can be incorporated
into various electronic systems. It can be configured
according to the customer‘s demands. In combination
with a suitable analysis software absolute and relati-
ve position and position changes can be measured. In
this way it is possible, for instance, to control machi-ne
tools, determine torsional forces or detect longitu-dinal
expansions.
Function and Properties
The incremental magnetic sensing heads IKS9 are
suitable for non-contact, incremental distance measuring
systems. The measuring function is realized by magnetic
scanning.
The system has the following features:
• non-contact, quick position measurement
• high reproducability
• programmable with PC
• freely programmable resolutions
• adjustable maximum output frequencies
• different connectors with adaptable cable lengths
• no wear from usage
• high gap tolerance
• resistant to dust, cooling lubricant emulsion, oil, etc.
• unlimited measuring distance.
Mode of operation
The sensing head with its sensor is mounted on the
machine part whose position is to be measured. The
measuring magnetic scale is mounted along the
measuring distance. On the magnetic scale alternating
magnetic north and south poles are positioned with
a regular distance. The magnetic AMR sensor cells
(anisotropic magnetoresistive effect) in the sensing head
are scanning the magnetic poles on the scale contact-
free.
Permissive travelling speed
See technical data sheet of the respective type on the
website: www.bogen-electronic.com/download
Digital output
The sensing head with digital output signals converts
the analog signals into a digital quadrature signal (A/B
pulses) and transmits them to the controller. The two
digital square wave signals A and B are electrically phase
shifted by 90°.
The sign of the phase shift indicates the direction of
movement of the sensing head. Every change of A or B
(rise to fall or vice versa) is a count for the incremental
counter (up/down counter). If signal A is in advance, the
counter increments. If signal B is in advance, the counter
decrements. The controller thus knows at all times the
position of the sensing head, without having to query the
sensor periodically (real-time capability).

Connecting the Device
Before starting the software, the programming device
must be connected to your computer using the USB cable
supplied. Then insert the sensing head into the dedicated
mount, connect it to the programming device and start the
program.
Note: Before the sensing head can be connected it must
be plugged onto the dedicated holder!
Configuring the IKS9
Connect the programming device and the sensing head as
described, start the software, select the COM port in the
drop-down selection and confirm by clicking “connect”.
The parameter setup of the sensing head is now read out
and shown in the respective fields of the user interface.
Selectable parameters are:
• resolution/interpolation
• interface
• length of reference pulse
• frequency
• LED mode
• hysteresis
• counting direction
Make the desired changes to the parameters. By clicking
“Write” the data gets stored in the sensing head. This
process can take a few seconds.
By choosing “Reset to factory Defaults” all parameter
changes will be made undone and set back to factory
settings.
Commissioning
Verify general system operation
After mounting the measuring system or after replacing
the sensing head, verify general system operation as
follows:
• switch on the supply voltage of the sensing head
• move the sensing head along the enre measure-ment path
or revoluon
• check that all signals are present at the output
• check if the counting direction matches the movement
direction/direction of rotation. If this is not the case,
change the counting direction in the user interface of
the programming device.
Maintenance
The functionality of the measuring system and all related
components must be reviewed and recorded regularly.

against unauthorized use.
Fault / Error Message Possible cause Measures
The controller does not receive path
information.
The necessary voltage supply is not
present
Check if the power supply is present and if
the sensing head is connected properly.
The voltage is too low or too high. The measuring system must have the
specified operating voltage.
