4. Product description and commissioning
4.1 Functionality and system design
Product designation
– Position sensor Temposonics®R-series
Construction series
– Temposonics®RP (profile-style housing)
– Temposonics®RH (rod-style housing)
– Stroke length RP: 25…5000 mm; RH: 25…7600 mm
– Output signal: Analog
Application
The Temposonics®sensor is used for measurement and conversion of
the position variable in the field of automated system and mechanical
engineering.
Principle of operation and system construction
For position measurement, the absolute, linear Temposonics®position
sensors make use of the properties offered by the specially designed
magnetostrictive waveguide. Inside the sensor a torsional strain pulse
is induced in the waveguide by momentary interaction of two magnetic
fields. The interaction between these two magnetic fields produces
a strain pulse, which is detected by the electronics at the head of the
sensor. One field is produced by a moving position magnet, which
travels along the sensor rod with the waveguide inside. The other field
is generated by a current pulse applied to the waveguide. The position
of the moving magnet is determined precisely by measuring the time
elapsed between the application of the current pulse and the arrival
of the strain pulse at the sensor head. The result is a reliable position
measurement with high accuracy and repeatability.
Modular mechanical and electronic construction
– The sensor housing (profile- or rod-style) protects the sensor
element.
– The sensor electronics housing, a rugged aluminum construction,
contains the complete electronic interface with active signal
conditioning. Double shielding ensures high safety of operation
and optimum EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility).
– The external position magnet is a permanent magnet. Mounted on
the mobile machine part, it travels along the sensor rod or profile-
and triggers the measurement through the housing wall. The sensor
is connected via a plug.
– The sensor can be connected directly to a control system.
Its electronics generates a strictly position-proportional signal
output between zero and end position.

4.2 Styles and installation
Temposonics®RP profile style
Purpose: e.g. mounting on machines
The profile-style sensor can be operated with various position magnets:
- Profile-guided magnet carriages are connected to the mobile
machine part via a ball coupling to compensate alignment errors.
- A free position magnet on the mobile machine part travels along the
measuring rod at a defined distance. Alignment errors can be com-
pensated via the air gap.

Active measuring range
The technical data of each sensor is checked as well as documented
and the active stroke length (useful electrical stroke) with its start
and end position is adjusted during final inspection and testing (see
dimension drawing).
Mechanical zero
To ensure that the entire measuring range can be used electrically,
the position magnet must be mounted mechanically as follows:
Installation of a profile-style sensor
The position sensor can be installed in any position. Normally, the
sensor is firmly installed and the position magnet is fastened to the
mobile machine part. Thus it can travel along the measuring rod
contactlessly.
The sensor is fitted on a flat machine surface using the mounting
clamps (see fig. 8). A length-dependent number of these clamps are
delivered with the sensor and must be distributed over the profile at
regular distances.
For fastening, we recommend using M5 × 20 screws to DIN 6912 that
shout be tightened with a maximum torque of 5 Nm.
Alternative: If only limited space is available, the profile sensor can be
mounted also via the T-rail in the profile bottom using an M5 T-slot
nut or a sliding block (see fig. 9).
5/ All dimensions in mm
NOTICE
On all sensors, the areas left and right of the active stroke length
are provided for mounting and damping of the measuring signal.
They should not be used for measurement, but the active stroke
length can be exceeded without problem.
NOTICE
Don’t mount the sensors in the area of strong magnetic or electric
noise fields. Take care to mount the sensor in an axially parallel po-
sition to avoid damaging the carriage, magnet and measuring rod.
The sensor is isolated from the machine ground. For this reason,
earthing via the flat-pin connector on the sensor electronics housing
is indispensable (see fig. 10).

Mounting the U-magnet
The U-magnet is removable and can be used for profile- and rod-style
sensors. Using a non-magnetizable entrainment device is mandatory.
The magnet must not rub against the measuring rod. Alignment errors
are compensated via the air gap.
– Max. surface pressure: 40 N/mm2
– Max. tightening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm;
use washer, if necessary

entrainment device
Installation of a rod-style sensor
The rod-style version has been developed for direct stroke
measurement in a fluid cylinder.
– Mounted on the bottom of the piston, the ring magnet travels over
the rod contactlessly and marks the position exactly through
the rod wall - independent of the hydraulic fluid.
– Inside the pressure-resistant sensor housing immerging into the
open piston rod, the basic sensor is mounted by means of only
two screws. It is the only part that needs replacing if servicing is
required, i.e. the hydraulic circuit remains closed.
Large measuring lengths from 1 meter
Horizontally installed sensors should be supported mechanically at
the rod end. Longer rods require evenly distributed mechanical support
over the entire length. In this case U-magnets (see fig. 12) are used
for measurement.
Mount the sensor via flange thread or a hex nut. If possible,
non-magnetizable material should be used for mounting support
(dimensions as shown). With horizontal mounting, longer sensors
(from 1 meter) recommend provided with mechanical support.
Observe dimensions (see fig. 14 / fig. 15).
Basic sensor
The electronics head with sensing
element can be replaced via two M4
screws with a 2.5 mm hexagonal
recess, max. tightening torque 1.3 Nm
Mounting the ring magnet
Install the magnet using non-magnetizable material for entrainment
device, screws, spacers etc.

Hydraulics sealing
We recommend sealing the flange contact surface using an O-ring
(e.g. 22.4 × 2.65) in a cylinder bottom groove. However, sealing via
a 15.3 × 2.2 O-ring in the undercut is also possible (Fig. 13.) In this
case, a screw hole to ISO 6149-1 must be provided.
– The flange contact surface must be seated completely on the
cylinder mounting surface.
– The cylinder manufacturer determines the pressure-resistant
gasket (copper gasket, O-ring, etc.).
– The position magnet should not rub against the rod.
– The plunger borehole (min. Ø 13 mm) depends on the pressure
and piston speed.
– The peak pressure should not be exceeded.
– Protect the sensor rod from wear using suitable constructive
measures.
4.3 Electrical connections
Place of installation and cabling have decisive influence on the sensor
EMC. Hence correct installation of this active electronic system and
the EMC of the entire system must be ensured by using suitable metal
connectors, shielded cables and grounding.
Overvoltages or faulty connections can damage its electronics despite
protection against wrong polarity.
Instruction for connection
– Low-resistance, pairwisely twisted, screened cables should be used
and the shield should be connected to earth externally in the evalua
tion electronics
– Control and sigan leads should be kept separate from power cables
and sufficiently far away from motor cables, frequency inverters,
valve lines, relays, etc.
– Use only connectors with metal housing and connect the screening
to connector housing.
– The connectiong surface at both screening ends should be as large
as possible.
– Kepp all non-screened leads as short as possible
– The earth connection should be as short as possible with a large
cross section. Avoid ground loops.
– With potential differences between machine and electronics earth
connections, no compensating currents are allowed to flow across
the cable screening.
Our Recommendation:
install potential compensating lead with large cross section, or use
cables with separate double screening, and connect only one end
of screen.
– Use only stabilized power supplies in compliance with the specified
connecting values.
Connection types
The sensor must be connected directly with the control system

NOTICE
MIND THE HAZARD OF SHORT CIRCUITS!
When using only output 1, insulation of the yellow and green cores
(output 2) is indispensable. Recommendation:
Providing terminals for output 2 in the control cabinet, because
the leads are eventually required in case of sensor programming.

Connect programmer
– Connect programmer with the sensor via the corresponding cable.
– Connect the programmer via USB port with the PC.
– Connect the power supply via jack on the side. The external
contact of the connector is 0 V (ground).
Software installation
Copy AnalogConfigurator.exe from the CD into a directory of your
choice on the hard disk and start the programm. The program now
displays a list of available COMs. Normally, the COM port with the
lowest number (e.g. COM1) should be selected.
If a connection fails, it could be a missing driver. In this case, install
the USB-Serial-Converter driver from the enclosed CD-ROM.

(1) Status indicates that the sensor is connected successfully.
(2) Frame Sensor Information contains the invariable sensor parame-
ters, which are read in automatically when connecting the sensor.
(3) In the file menu, the sensor configuration can be saved on the
hard disk, printed out or loaded into the sensor 7. Moreover, this
menu permits returning to the factory setting.
(4) The control tabs of mainframe permit allocation of functions to
the sensor outputs. Via Function the position, speed or a direction
dependent absolute speed values are selectable. The measuring
range of the functions will be determined in Scaling.
(5) Any changes which were made are shown with dark background.
By clicking on EEPROM update, the altered parameters are sended
and stored permanently in the sensor. Subsequently, the stored
values are displayed again with a white background.
Tabs control frame
(6) Via tabs control Function 1, the analog sensor output can be
allocated to the position or speed of the magnet. With position
measurement, the measuring range with start point and end point
is determined here.
(7) The actual magnet position can be stored via buttons Get Magnets
Pos. (Note: On sensors with 2 magnets, value storage always
relates only to the first magnet).
(8) Allocation of the relevant analog output signals to sensor functions
position or speed measurement is via index card Output 1 (fig. 28).
Fig. 27: Example of windows surface
(9) Thereby, field Output Minimum indicates the current or voltage
value which should be output at the starting point of the selected
function. The output value pertaining to the end point must be
specified in field Output Maximum (fig. 29).
(10) Unless a position magnet is provided, or if it is in the sensor
inactive zone, i.e. out of measuring range, Global Error is output.
The error value can be adjusted with −0.7…20.7 mA or −0.4…10.4 V)
(11) Index cards Function 2, Output 2 and the functional reference to
the 2nd magnet in field Source, are provided only for sensors with
two analog outputs.
(12) Menu Sensor test provides a data display (fig. 30), which show
the absolute positions of the position magnets. Compared with
the sensor measuring rate, serial data transmission between
sensor and PC is relatively slow, i.e. not every actually measured
value can be displayed. For this reason, only every 50th measure-
ment value appears in the diagram.
