Product overview
The Core Sensor is a complete, functional sensor in every respect
making it ideal for embedded sensor applications where the OEM
product provides all the environmental protection necessary for the
application and any additional sensor protective housing would be re-
dundant, representing unnecessary cost in extremely cost sensitive
moderate to high volume OEM products.
There are two C-Series Core sensor models, CS and CM. Model CS is
available in a analog voltage and is used for general applications offer-
ing a 5 volt supply and has a ratiometric output. The model CM analog
voltage sensor is available in two version and is intended for mobile
equipment applications that operates off 12 volts, has an internal ref-
erence voltage that makes the output independent of power supply
fluctuations, and offers extended EMI performance and extended over
voltage protection.
The model CM sensor is also available with SSI serial digital output
that runs off 5 or 12 volts and has a 24 bit, 5 volt high output. C-Series
Core Sensors are also available with accessory housings that afford
environmental protection and mounting options when embedding is
not appropriate for the application. They are factory assembled with
the sensor ready to use. These housings can be used in high pres-
sure applications such as cylinders, immersed with a float for liquid
level measurement, and as a means to add sensors as an aftermarket
upgrade.

C-Series Core Sensor, Models CS/CM
Mounting, Wiring and Connections, accessory Options
Sensor outputs
C-Series Core sensors are available in standard analog and SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) outputs. Analog output is + ≈ 0 to 5 Vdc in both
CS and CM models. In the CS, the output is ratiometric with the supply voltage. In the CM, the 12 volt supply allows the sensor to generate a
reference 5 volts for the circuit so the output is not ratiometric with the supply voltage.
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
Temposonics C-Series model CM core sensors with SSI output offer
clocked serial data transfer. The displacement value is encoded in a
24-bit binary or gray code format and transmitted at high speed via
SSI interface in RS-422 or RS-485 standard to the control device.
The synchronous serial interface is the most widely used output
between sensors and controllers.
A clock pulse train from a controller is used to gate out sensor data.
One bit of position data is transmitted to the controller for each clock
pulse received by the sensor
(see ‘Figures 1 and 2’).
The absolute
position data is continually updated by the sensor and converted by
the shift register into serial information.
Pause interval min. 16 µs
Clock (+)
Data (+)
Parity
MSB
LSB
Between each clock pulse train there is a minimum dwell of 25 µs
during which fresh data is moved into the register. Data is shifted
out when the sensor receives a pulse train from the controller.
When the least significant bit (LSB) goes high and the minimum
dwell time has elapsed, new data is available to read.
Parity Bit explanation:
Bit 25 is the parity bit. The parity bit is set to no parity (always 0) as
standard and even parity on request. Even parity means for the data
output it contains an even number of bits which contain a logic 1
(high level), including the parity bit
(see ‘Figure 1’)
Example:
If the 24 bit number is 2345 decimal then this is 100100101001
binary. By counting the number of 1s we yield 5. The parity bit will
be set to a 1 because of the even parity.

following failure modes:

Logic diagram
The first high-low transition of the clock load the actual position
information and the parity bit into the output register. The first
low-high transition transmits the parity bit to the data output. The
second low high transition transmits the MSB of the actual position
information to the data output. At each subsequent low-high
transition the next highest bit is transmitted to the data output.
When the least significant bit is received by the controller the pulse
train is terminated. After a pause interval, the data output returns
to logic 1.
Input and output are standard RS-422/RS485 differential signal
levels.

an option for timing critical applications.

the C-Series core sensor is available in two models, CS and CM and are intended for embedded applications in OEM products. The C-Series
model CS is designed for general purpose applications and requires a 5 Vdc power supply. The C-Series model CM is designed specifically
for mobile equipment applications and provides additional protection from over voltage and reverse connection and supports a 12 Vdc power
supply. The C-Series core sensor can be ordered with a housing option for applications that require additional protection. Due to the plastic
housing, core sensors require consideration of protection from external magnetic fields when installed in OEM products.

The H2 housing option completely encloses and seals the C-Series sensor to IP67 ratings. It's made of 304L stainless steel and is available
with a cable out only. The cover is locked in place with tabs. However, the cover can be removed by bending the tabs outward. 0-rings seal
the outside environment on the inside diameter and on the C-Series null zone face. This H2 housing is easy to mount via the two holes on the
flange. Two gasket types are available to seal the flange upon installation. The pressure rating of the flange to the tip of the sensor is 300 psi
(24 Bar). This sensor can be used with magnets or magnet equipped floats. A retaining clip groove is located in the end of the pipe to secure
the available floats from falling off during installation or low fluid conditions in liquid level applications.
