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.
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a standard for device level com-
munications and the foundation of fieldbus systems like DeviceNet,
CANopen and CANbus.These fieldbus systems can provide high
speed transmission appropriate for position indication and for mo-
tion control in industrial applications.
DeviceNet allows users to interface up to 64 devices using a single
cable, thus eliminating the need for conventional methods of multiple
wire runs. DeviceNet provides a way to define how, and in which
priority, data will be transmitted over the network. The result is a
lower complexity, cost-effective communications network linking
industrial measurement and control devices. Together, the open
DeviceNet protocol and the MTS “smart” R-Series sensors offer an
effective, high-precision data transfer system that is well suited for
industrial automation.
* 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.

Enhanced monitoring and diagnostics
SENSOR STATUS AND DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY
Integrated diagnostic LEDs (green/red), located beside sen-
sor connector (see ‘Figure 1’), provide basic visual monitoring
for normal sensor operation and DeviceNet communications.
Diagnostic display LEDs indicate two modes, Network and Module
status as described in ‘Table 1’.

R-Series models RP and RH linear-position sensors as slave devices
fulfill all requirements of the CANbus (ISO 11898) standard. The sen-
sors electronics and integrated software implement the DeviceNet
protocol to convert the displacement measurements into bus
oriented outputs and transfer this data directly to the controller.The
DeviceNet protocol is appropriate for serial data transfer up to 500
kBit/sec.
When using the DeviceNet protocol with R-series sensors, function-
ality always includes but is not limited to the following:
• Position
• Error Detection
• Polling & bit-strobe communications modes
PLUG AND PLAY
R-Series sensors with DeviceNet output can be directly connected
to a DeviceNet network. The plug and play design makes installation
quick and easy. The sensor acts as a “slave” device that transmits
its position and status data upon request to the “master” device
such as a PLC or IPC. After initial system configuration, the user is
not required to have extensive knowledge concerning network tim-
ing and sensor technology to execute operations within DeviceNet
environment. Sensor-specific parameters are installed into the
network using the Electronic Data Sheet (EDS). To obtain the EDS,
go to www.mtssensors.com.
There are only two programmable parameters, which are, the node
identifier and the baud rate. If desired, a PC programming tool,
such as DeviceNet Manager offered by Allen Bradley, can be used
to change their values. The node identifier is factory set at node 63.
The selected baud rate is shown in the sensor's model number.
Note that the sensor will only be recognized on a network running
at the same baud rate.

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.

Mounting and Installation Reference
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.

The Temposonics R-Series rod-style sensor (Model RH) offers modular construction, flexible mounting configurations, and easy installation.
The Model RH sensor is designed for mounting in applications where high pressure conditions exist, (5000 psi continuous, 10,000 psi spike),
such as inside hydraulic cylinders. The Model RH sensor (see Figure 4) may also be mounted externally in many applications.

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 6.

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 7. 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

and sensing element, is easy to replace by removing
