1. Introduction to the MK292 Digital Output Module
The MK292 Digital Output Module provides an interface between a Temposonics position sensor with
a pulse-width modulated or start/stop output and a system controller. A selection of outputs from the
MK292 (BCD, binary, or Gray Code) gives this device nearly universal compatibility.
The MK292 is compatible with many Temposonics position sensors, as follows:
Compatible Position Sensors:
• SE-based Temposonics LP sensor with start/stop output
• Temposonics II sensors with a pulse-width modulated or start/stop output
• Temposonics L Series sensors with a pulse-width modulated or start/stop output
In addition to position data, the MK292 generates logic outputs: DATA READY and ERROR; and logic
input: DATA HOLD. An optional sub-board assembly provides an analog output for recording purpos-
es (output range: 0 to 10 Vdc or 10 to 0 Vdc).
The MK292 can be configured as either a rack-mountable card or module that can be installed in a
standard 19 inch mounting rack.

3. System Components
3.1 MK292-Compatible Temposonics Position Sensors
To interface with the MK292, a start/stop or pulse-width modulated output (see figure
3.1) is required from the Temposonics position sensor. The MK292 will convert these
signals into a parallel BCD, Gray Code, or binary output.
COMPATIBLE SENSORS
3.1.1. Temposonics Position Sensor with Start/Stop Output
Temposonics L Series and LP position sensors provide a direct RS422 compatible
start/stop output. Temposonics II position sensors require an RS422 Personality
Module (RPM), installed in the sensor head, to produce a start/stop output.
3.1.2. Temposonics Position Sensor with Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) Output
Temposonics L Series position sensors provide a direct pulse-width modulated output.
Temposonics II position sensors require a Digital Personality Module (DPM) to gener-
ate a pulse-width modulated output. The DPM is installed in the head of the sensor's
electronics enclosure.
When using a Temposonics sensor with a PWM output, "external interrogation" is
required to interface with the MK292. External interrogation is an option selected at
the time of order and is pre-set at the factory.
3.1.3. Temposonics Position Sensor with Synchronous Operation (External
Interrogating)
In synchronous operation, an interrogation pulse is supplied to the position sensor
from the MK292 module. After supplying the interrogation pulse, the MK292 waits for
the sensor's return pulse, then ends the cycle. The time between the launching of the
interrogation pulse and the receipt of the return pulse is proportional to the distance
between the null or zero position and the movable magnet.

Errors:
• No sensor magnet
• Sensor magnet not positioned within the active range of sensor
• Malfunction or failure of sensor or module
• Electronic interference
4.3.2 Data-Ready Output (Latch Pulse)
Pin: c6
Logic: HIGH
Ensures that parallel data transfer does not occur during data update
(i.e., during change in magnet position). In addition, the data ready
output confirms that the data is up-to-date.
The timing of data transfer is illustrated below.

4.3.3 Data-Hold Input (Latch Inhibit)
Pin: c17
Logic: HIGH
Data Hold is another means, besides Data Ready, to ensure that paral-
lel data transfer does not occur during data update. When Data Hold
(C17) is high, data does not update.
4.3.4 External Start Input (Features)
Pin: c16
Logic: HIGH
The External Start Input permits the timing of the measuring cycle
(i.e., the interrogation pulses) to originate from an outside source.
The Master/Slave Input (see below) logic must be HIGH before the
sensor can be interrogated, normally it is set LOW.
Start signals must be between 6 to 10 microseconds in duration and
repetition period must exceed the minimum cycle time -- refer to pro-
gramming section of the manual: (MR) Measuring Range.
Figure 4-9 External Start
4.3.5 Master/Slave Input (Features)
Pin: c13
Logic: HIGH
If an application requires that more than one Temposonics position
sensor provide position data simultaneously, the Master/Slave Input
may be used. It is essential to identify the longest position sensor as
the master device since it possesses the longest cycle time. The mas-
ter "start" command is switched to output 'c7' and linked to slave out-
put 'c16' (External Start Input).

5. System Parameters
After the MK292 Digital Output Module is installed and connected to the Temposonics position sensor,
system parameters must be set before start-up. When setting the system parameters, you must be
aware which electronics module is installed in the Temposonics position sensor. Verify that the sensor
has either a start/stop or PWM output. If the sensor has a PWM output, also verify that it is config-
ured for external interrogation. Contact an MTS Applications Engineer if you have any questions
regarding the configuration of your sensor or how to interface to the MK292 unit.
The system parameters for each configuration are indicated below:

System parameters are set via the front panel of the MK292 using the programming and BCD switches.
• Programming Switch
This momentary toggle switch is located at the bottom of the front panel. It has two activation posi-
tions: #1 and #2. Programming Modes are accessed by manipulation of this switch as defined in the
Programming section of this manual.

• BCD Switches (S1-S6)
The six rotary switches, S1 (least significant digit) to S6 (most significant digit), are used to set parame-
ter values. A screw driver or adjusting tool is used to set the switches.
The input values are checked against the actual values as indicated by the customer provided con-
troller display.
• LEDs
There are six LEDs, one red and five green, which give visual indication of the operating condition and
programming mode of the MK292.
1. RED (continuous light) = System in operation mode
2. RED (flashing light) = Transition to programming mode
3. GREEN (continuous light) = Indication of selected parameter
4. GREEN (flashing light) = Programming mode is activated – parameter settings can be
changed via BCD switches S1-S6.
5. GREEN (fast flashing light) = Input error

6. Short Form Programming Procedure
• Programming Mode
Hold the programming switch in Position #1 (see Fig. 6.1) until the 'RUN' LED begins to
flash (≈3 sec.) Programming Mode is set up.
• Selection of System Parameters
To select desired parameter, momentarily toggle the programming switch to Position #1 and
release; an LED will light. Repeat until the LED is lit next to desired parameter.
• Parameter Adjustment
Enter desired values using BCD switches S1-S6 (S1 represents the least significant digit). Rapid
flashing of the green LED indicates input error.
• Parameter Setup
To store a newly set parameter, hold the programming switch in Position #2 (see Fig. 6.1)
until the LED of the next parameter is activated (≈3 sec.)
• Operation Mode
Hold the programming switch in Position #1 until the red "RUN" LED is activated. This indi-
cates that the Programming Mode has been exited and the Operation Mode is ready.
Figure 6-1

Position
NOTE:
If the value cannot be stored, momentarily hold the
programming switch in Position #1, and repeat, until
you cycle through to the desired parameter.
NOTE:
You may cycle through and check the parameters by
observing the controller display as you repeatedly put
the programming switch in Position #1.
To change a parameter: Select desired parameter, then
simply hold the programming switch in Position #2
until the LED flashes ( ≈ 3 sec.). Change parameter
using the BCD switches.

7. Detailed Programming Procedure
7.1 (RUN) Programming Mode / Red LED
During initial start-up, the red 'RUN' LED will flash. This indicates that the MK292 is in
the programming mode and input parameters are required for operation.
If the 'RUN' LED is on, but not flashing, this means that parameters have already been
set. If parameters must be changed, the programming mode must be accessed, as fol-
lows:
Hold programming switch in Position #1 until 'RUN' LED flashes (≈3 sec.)
ADJUST
7.2 (REC) Pulse Duration / Green LED
Temposonics sensors with a PWM output are capable of “circulations”, meaning that
the interrogation and return signals can be recirculated a specific number of times.
This lengthens the duration of the PWM output from the sensor and the counting time
of the MK292; the result is increased resolution.
The number of circulations is determined at the time of order and is reflected in the
sensor’s model number. Refer to the appropriate ordering guide for the sensor that
you are using to determine the circulation count. If you have any questions regarding
this, contact an MTS Applications Engineer.
NOTE:
This parameter only applies to systems that have a
Temposonics position sensor with a PWM output. In
the procedure, this step will not occur if the MK292 is
configured for a start/stop output.
RUN

1) Hold the programming switch in Position #2 until the 'REC' LED is flashing (≈3 sec.)
ADJUST 2) Enter the Pulse Duration (recirculation value) using BCD switches S1-S6.
