Benefits of Magnetostriction
Temposonics linear-position sensors use the time-based magneto-
strictive position sensing principle developed by MTS. Within the
sensing element, a sonic-strain pulse is induced in a specially designed
magnetostrictive waveguide by the momentary interaction of two
magnetic fields. One field comes from a movable permanent magnet
that passes along the outside of the sensor. The other field comes
from an “interrogation” current pulse applied along the waveguide.
The resulting strain pulse travels at sonic speed along the waveguide
and is detected at the head of the sensing element.
The position of the magnet is determined with high precision and
speed by accurately measuring the elapsed time between the applica-
tion of the interrogation pulse and the arrival of the resulting strain
pulse with a high-speed counter. The elapsed time measurement is
directly proportional to the position of the permanent magnet and is
an absolute value. Therefore, the sensor's output signal corresponds
to absolute position, instead of incremental, and never requires
recalibration or re-homing after a power loss. Absolute, non-contact
sensing eliminates wear, and guarantees the best durability and output
repeatability.

Temposonics R-Series EtherCAT sensors represent MTS Sensors’
development and product offering in high-speed networked position
feedback. EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a
unique interface developed by Beckhoff Automation and is supported
by the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG).
This interface is used for industrial Ethernet, providing the fastest,
most deterministic industrial networking solution possible using
the base Ethernet physical layer. By using this format, coupled with
our high speed networked sensing capability, machine builders and
automation engineers will be able to overcome bandwidth and node
limitation issues found with other commercially available industrial
networks.
* UL Recognition requires an approved power supply with energy limitation UL 61010-
1), or Class 2 rating according to the National Electrical Code (USA) / Canadian
Electrical Code.
** The IP rating is not part of the UL Recognition.

EtherCAT interface
EtherCAT is an open field bus system which is based on Ethernet
technology, (IEEE 802.3), with a high data rate and short response
time, resulting in very good real-time performance. It is standardized
in the IEC/PAS 62407 and is part of the ISO 15745-4 standard. The
EtherCAT protocol is also being integrated into the IEC 61158, IEC
61784, and IEC 61800-7 standards.
The Temposonics EtherCAT sensor is connected as a slave device,
and as such, fulfils all the requirements of the EtherCAT field bus
system. Adding the sensor to an EtherCAT bus system is very easy.
The system manager (e.g. TwinCAT from Beckoff Automation) gets
all the parameters of the sensor from the XML file, available from
the MTS website at http://www.mtssensors.com. There are no
adjustments necessary on the sensor itself. For some applications,
optimum system performance is obtained using the sensor’s high
speed updates, up to 10 kHz, by synchronizing to the EtherCAT’s
'distributed clock mode' (available on the “E101” sensor output
option).
Operation modes and output
There are two operation modes available:
E101 - Fast update position and velocity:
• Designed for high-speed motion control
• Up to 5 simultaneous magnet measurements
• 100 µs update rate, (independent of stroke length)
E102 Multi-magnet position and velocity:
• Designed for gauging systems having many magnet positions
• Up to 20 simultaneous magnet measurements
• Standard update rates, (stroke length dependent)
When using multiple magnets, the minimum allowed distance
between magnets is 75 mm (3 in.) to maintain proper sensor output
(see ‘Figure 2’).

LINEARITY CORRECTION OPTION (LCO)
The Linearity Correction Option (LCO) provides improved sensor
output accuracy. For most stroke lengths linearity accuracy is
improved up to a factor of 5 resulting in deviations from actual
position of less than ± 20 µm (0.0008 in.). For stroke lengths
over 5000 mm (197 in.), the linearity accuracy is improved
up to factor of 10. Selecting the sensor style and magnet is important
(both must be matched together). Contact the factory for assistance
when designing for the LCO in your application.

SELECTION OF POSITION MAGNETS (ONE MAGNET INCLUDED WITH MODEL RP SENSOR)
A choice of two magnet mounting configurations are available with the profile-style sensor; A ‘captive-sliding’ magnet, Styles Sor Vor an
‘open-ring’ magnet, Style M. Captive-sliding magnets utilize slide bearings of special material that reduce friction, and if required, help mitigate
dirt build up. The slide bearings are designed to operate dry, requiring no external lubrication or maintenance.
The Style M ‘open-ring’ magnet mounts on the moving machine part and travels just above the sensor’s profile extrusion. The open-ring
magnet requires a minimum distance away from ferrous metals to allow proper sensor output. It must be mounted using non-ferrous screws
and a non-ferrous support bracket, or utilize a non-ferrous spacer of at least 5 mm (0.2 in.) thickness.

Model RP Sensor mounting
Model RP profile-style sensor mounting flexible installation in any position!
Temposonics Model RP profile-style sensors offer two basic mounting methods; side grooves for use with mounting feet or a bottom groove
that accepts special T-Slot nuts. Both the mounting feet and T-Slot nuts can be positioned along the sensor extrusion to best secure the sensor
for each particular application.
Notes:
1. Model RP sensors include two mounting feet (part no. 400802) for sensors stroke lengths up to 1250 mm (50 in.)
2. One additional mounting foot is included for stroke lengths over 1250 mm (50 in.) and for each additional 500 mm (20 in.),
thereafter.
3. MTS recommends using 10-32 cap screws (customer supplied) at a maximum torque of 44 in. lbs. when fastening mounting feet.

Model RH Rod-Style Sensor Mounting
Cylinder Installation and Connections
Model RH rod-style sensor mounting
The position magnet requires minimum distances away from ferrous
metals to allow proper sensor output. The minimum distance from
the front of the magnet to the cylinder end cap is 15 mm (0.6 in.).
The minimum distance from the back of the magnet to the piston
head is 3.2 mm (0.125 in.). However, a minimum distance of at
least 5 mm (0.197 in.) is preferred for added performance margin.
The non-ferrous spacer (part no. 400633), provides this minimum
distance when used along with the standard ring magnet (part no.:
201542-2) as shown in Figure 7.

When used for direct-stroke measurement in fluid cylinders, the
sensor's high pressure, stainless steel rod installs into a bore in
the piston head/rod assembly as shown in Figure 8. This method
guarantees a long-life and trouble-free operation.
The sensor cartridge can be removed from the flange and rod hous-
ing while still installed in the cylinder.This procedure allows quick
and easy sensor cartridge replacement, without the loss of hydraulic
pressure.
The sensor’s rod housing and flange can remain
