3.2 Product characteristics
3.2.1 Product features
The MPS-G with 2 / 3 digital switching points and IO-Link (up to 8 switching points) is
used either as a magnetic cylinder sensor for non-contact detection of 2 end positions
or intermediate positions (up to 3 individually adjustable switching points in one hous‐
ing) or via IO-Link as a position sensor for non-contact linear position measurement
mainly in pneumatic cylinders, grippers and slides.
When using IO-Link, up to 8 switching points can also be set and additional actuator
diagnostic data can be recorded and output.
•Stroke traveled
•Cycle time
•Dwell time of the piston
•Travel time of the piston
•Average piston velocity
•Current measured field strength
•Maximum measured field strength
•Cycle count
•Total distance traveled by the piston
•Operating hours
•Power-on/power-off cycles

A description of the diagnostic functions can be found in section 8.4.4.
Target application
•Double end position detection via 2 digital switching points
→ Substitute for two individual cylinder switches
•Detection of 3 positions via 3 digital switching points, e.g. for gripper process
(open without object / object gripped / closed without object)
→ Substitute for three individual cylinder switches
•Position measurement for short stroke in systems with IO-Link
•Detection of 8 positions via 8 switching points, e.g. for gripper process (gripping of
objects of different sizes)
Mechanical standard variants
The mechanical standard variants differ in the geometry of the sensor head, the length
of the connection cable between the head and control panel, the length of the connect‐
ing cable between the control panel and connection and in the connection.

3.3 Operating principle
3.3.1 Principle of operation
The MPS-G determines the position of an encoder magnet via a row of 2 sensor
elements located in the sensor head.
Axially and diametrically magnetized magnets can be detected since the two sensor
elements measure the field strength in both the X- and Y-direction.

3.3.2 Detection range
The sensor is designed for a detection range of 50mm. The zero point / physical
zero position is marked with arrows on the sensor head and is located roughly at the
center point of the sensor. From the zero point, -25mm are measured to the cable and
+25mm to the fixing screw.

3.3.3 Position output
The sensor can output a linearized position in a detection range of approx. 50mm
(depends on the drive).
Via IO-Link, the detection range of 50mm (-25mm ... 25mm) corresponds to 5,000
digits (-2,500digits ... 2,500digits). I.e. 1 digit corresponds to 10µm.
When leaving the detection range, the value 32,760 or -32,760 digits1) is displayed.
If the field strength is no longer sufficient, 32764 is output as per the Smart Sensor
profile.
1) 1digit corresponds to 10µm.

There is no Dynamic Pilot during manual teach-in of the switching points. The switching
point width is 2mm according to the factory setting and can be adjusted via the Teach
menu (1 – 5mm).
3.3.5 Switching behavior after Dynamic Teach of 2 switching points
If the sensor, during Dynamic Teach, detects teach 2 x piston status v = 0, 2 switching
points are set.
NOTE
The dynamic teach-in and the dynamic pilot only start working from a speed of v
>0.025m/s.
Example: Arrangement of switching points for dynamic teach-in of 2 switching points
on a pneumatic cylinder
The 2 switching points are always arranged as follows during dynamic teach-in: Qint1
lies in the direction of the cable connection and Qint2 in the direction of the sensor
fixing screw. It does not matter which position is approached first.

If the sensor, during Dynamic Teach, detects teach 3 x piston status v = 0, 3 switching
points are set.

on a pneumatic internal or external gripper
The switching points are assigned as follows:
Qint1 = idle
Qint2 = object
Qint3 = noobject
The assignment of the idle and no object states to gripper open or gripper closed
depends on the gripper type:
