Benefits of Magnetostriction
Temposonics linear-position sensors use the time-based
magnetostrictive 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 moveable
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.

R-Series model RH and RP sensors are extremely robust and are
ideal for continuous operation under harsh industrial conditions.
MTS offers two standard sensor housings, rod and profile extrusion.
The rod housing is capable of withstanding high pressures such as
those found in hydraulic cylinders.
The profile extrusion housing provides convenient mounting options
and captive sliding magnets which utilize slide bearings of special
material that reduce friction, and help mitigate dirt build up.
The sensor head contains the active signal conditioning and a
complete integrated electronics interface. Double shielding is used
to ensure EMI protection for unsurpassed reliability and operating
safety.
* 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.

CANbus protocol
Temposonics R-Series models RP and RH linear-position sensors,
as slave devices, fulfill all requirements of the CANbus (ISO 11898)
protocol. The sensor’s electronics convert the position measure-
ments into bus oriented outputs and transfer this data directly to the
controller.
The bus interface is appropriate for serial data transfer up to
1 Mbps maximum. Sensor integrated software supports bus
profiles CANopen, CANbasic and DeviceNet for a comprehensive
customized configuration of the sensor-bus system.
DeviceNet documentation is available from the MTS website at
http://www.mtssensors.com/products/linear-position-sensors/
index.html.
OPERATION MODES
R-Series sensors with CANbus protocol provide the following single
or multi-magnet measurements:
Standard measurements:
• CANbasic; Position + velocity (using one magnet)
• CANopen; Position + velocity (using one to four magnets)
+ sensor internal electronics temperature
Multi-magnet measurement:
CANbasic; Positions for each of two to twenty magnets
simultaneously.
When using multiple magnets, the minimum allowed distance be-
tween magnets is 75 mm (3 in.) to maintain proper sensor output
(see ‘Figure 2’).

CANopen communication and functionality
CANopen corresponds to encoder profile ‘DS-406 V3.1 (CIA standard
DS-301 V4.02)’. The CANopen functionality is described below in the
following communication objects.
Note:
Conformance Test Certificate No. CiA199902-301V30/I-004 is provided by
the CANbus user organization CiA (CAN in Automation) for MTS CANopen
sensors.
LINEARITY CORRECTION OPTION (LCO)
The Linearity Correction Option (LCO) provides improved sensor
output accuracy. For most stroke lengths linearity accuracy is im-
proved up to a factor of 5 resulting in deviations from actual position
of less than +/- 20 microns (0.0008 in.). For stroke lengths over
5000 mm (197 in.), the linearity accuracy is improved up to a 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.
SERVICE DATA OBJECT (SD0)
The SDO is mainly used for sensor configuration. Selectable
parameters are as follows:
• Resolution for position + velocity
• 4 set points
• Preset of the operation range and the null position for four
magnets
PROCESS DATA OBJECT (PDO)
The PDO provides real-time data transfer of sensor measurements in
up to 8-byte data blocks. The sensor uses PDO’s to relay information
about magnet position, velocity, limit status, cam control and opera-
tion range for up to four magnets.
Data formats:
• 32-bits for position
• 16-bits for velocity
• 8-bits for value limit.

CANOPEN CONFIGURATION
A software file is used as an Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) for sen-

software mini diskette, part number: 551052 that comes with the
sensor. To download the latest software go to MTS website at:
http://www.mtssensors.com.
CANbasic (MTS)
CANbasic (MTS) allows a simple, flexible adaptation to customized
profiles with a short bus access. The CANbasic protocol complies
with CAN the 2.0A standard and includes applications data for
single-magnet measurement (position, velocity, sensor status and
five setpoints).
CANbasic (Multi-magnet measurement)
CANbasic (Multi-magnet measurement) provides position measure-
ment on a single sensor using a maximum of twenty magnets. Setup
and operation are accomplished through the on-site control system.

Field Programming
CANopen handheld address programmer
The CANopen Handheld Address Programmer (see ‘Figure 3’) is
offered as an accessory used to setup the Node-Address for sensors
with the CANopen interface. This setup is usually completed by the
bus’ LMT/LSS-Service. If the master system or customer controller
does not support this service, connecting the CANopen Handheld
Address Programmer to the sensor will bypass the service and allow
direct setup.

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 RH 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 10.

Cylinder installation
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 11. 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
permanently installed in the cylinder
Ring magnet
The sensor cartridge, consisting of the electronics housing
and sensing element, is easy to replace by removing
(2) M4 thread 2.5 mm hex socket head screws
