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.
Temposonics R-Series models RP and RH linear-position sensors
fulfill all requirements of Profibus-DP (EN 50170) protocol. They also
provide absolute position data to Profibus control units by using a
serial, bit synchronous, RS-485 format at a baud rate up to 12 Mbps
maximum.
In addition to data transmission, Profibus-DP provides powerful func-
tionality for diagnostics and configuration, which is loaded into the
bus using the GSD electronic device data sheet file. The download-
able .gsd file for Temposonics Profibus model sensors is available at
