Benefits of Magnetostriction
Temposonics®linear-position sensors use the time-based magneto-
strictive position sensing principle developed by MTS Sensors. 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 mag-
net 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 EtherNet/IP™ sensors represent MTS
Sensors’ development and product offering in networked position
feedback. EtherNet/IP™ systems require only a single point of con-
nection for both configuration and control, because EtherNet/IP™
supports both I/O (or implicit) messages—those that typically contain
time-critical control data—and explicit messages—those in which
the data field carries both protocol information and instructions for
service performance. And, as a producer-consumer network that sup-
ports multiple communication hierarchies and message prioritization,
EtherNet/IP™ provides more efficient use of bandwidth than a device
network based on a source-destination model. EtherNet/IP™ systems
can be configured to operate either in a master/slave or distributed
control architecture using peer-to-peer communication.
* UL Recognition requires an approved power supply with energy limitation
(UL61010-1), or Class 2 rating according to the National
Electrical Code (USA) / Canadian Electrical Code.
** The IP rating is not part of the UL Recognition.

EtherNet/IP™ interface
EtherNet/IP™ is an Industrial Ethernet implementation of the Common
Industrial Protocol (CIP), managed by the Open DeviceNet Vendors
Association (ODVA), which defines communication services for
automation. Ethernet/IP™ uses standard IEEE 802.3 technology at
both the Physical Layer and Data Layers for compatibility with other
applications and protocols. The protocol is also compliant with
IEC 61158-2 for the physical layer and IEC 61784-1, -2 for measurement
and control profiles. The MTS Sensors R-Series EtherNet/IP™ sensor
last passed the ODVA EtherNet/IP™ Conformance Test in September
of 2015 (Composite Conformance Test CT12).
Note:
Go to www.mtssensors.com to download latest EDS file.
This Ethernet/IP™ device also offers Device-Level-Ring (DLR) capabil-
ity to directly connect devices to a ring topology without the use of
external switches. DLR provides device-level network re-routing and
failure point identification to improve reliability and network recovery
time.
The ODVA DLR Conformance Test was also completed in September
of 2015.

SELECTION OF POSITION MAGNETS
A choice of two magnet mounting configurations are available with the profile-style sensor; A ‘captive-sliding’ magnet, Styles Sor Vor an
U-magnet. 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 U-magnet mounts on the moving machine part and travels just above the sensor’s profile extrusion. The U-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.

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 Sensors recommends using 10-32 cap screws (customer supplied) at a maximum torque of 44 in. lbs. when fastening
mounting feet.

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 sen-

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.
