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 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.
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
http://www.mtssensors.com.
* UL Recognition requires an approved power supply with energy limitation UL 61010-

Electrical Code.

R-Series sensors with Profibus-DP output are compliant with Profibus
DP slave class 2 and have the following features:
Selectable outputs:
• Absolute position measurement
• Velocity measurement
• Sensor Status
• Error detection (e.g. magnet status)
Selectable parameters:
• Offset / preset for each magnet
• Measuring direction; forward and reverse acting
• Intel®and Motorola®data format transfers
OPERATION MODES
R-Series sensors with Profibus-DP protocol provide the following
single or multi-magnet measurements:
Standard measurement (P102 output code):
• Position (using one magnet)
Multi-magnet measurement (P101 output code):
• Position (using up to 20 magnets simultaneously)
Multi-magnet measurement (P103 output code):
• Position + velocity (using up to 5 magnets simultaneously)
Profibus-DP communication and functionality
DATA EXCHANGE
For multi-magnet measurement, 1 status byte and 3 bytes of position
data for each position are transmitted. The status byte contains an
error bit and the position number for the following measurement
value. Dependent on sensor parameters, sensor data can be trans-
ferred in different data formats, (e.g. Intel®or Motorola®)
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 design-
ing for the LCO in your application.

Model RP Profile-Style Sensor Dimension References
The Profibus-DP Handheld Address Programmer (see ‘Figure 3’) is offered as an acces-
sory used to setup the Slave Address via the Profibus-DP interface. Addressing is usu-
ally performed by the Profibus-DP SetSlaveAddress command. If the master system or
controller does not support this service, connecting the Profibus-DP Handheld Address
Programmer to the sensor will bypass the service and allow direct setup.
When ordering the Profibus-DP Node and Field Address Programmer accessory, for

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 S
or 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.

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 Figures 7, 8 and 9) may also be mounted externally
in many applications.

(D63) CONNECTOR OPTION
The shielded hybrid cable (5 wires; two bus, two power supply and 1
machine ground, part no.: 530040) is used for both bus and supply
voltage (D63) connections. This provides convenient daisy-chain
connections for applications with multiple Profibus-DP sensors.

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 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 consist of the electronics housing
and sensing element and is easy to replace by removing
