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 movable 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.

EtherCAT interface
EtherCAT is an open field bus system which is based on Ethernet
technology, (IEEE 802.3), with a high data rate and short response
time, resulting in very good real-time performance. It is standardized
in the IEC/PAS 62407 and is part of the ISO 15745-4 standard. The
EtherCAT protocol is also being integrated into the IEC 61158, IEC
61784, and IEC 61800-7 standards.
The Temposonics EtherCAT sensor is connected as a slave device,
and as such, fulfils all the requirements of the EtherCAT field bus
system. Adding the sensor to an EtherCAT bus system is very easy.
The system manager (e.g. TwinCAT from Beckoff Automation) gets
all the parameters of the sensor from the XML file, available from
the MTS website at http://www.mtssensors.com. There are no
adjustments necessary on the sensor itself. For some applications,
optimum system performance is obtained using the sensor’s high
speed updates, up to 10 kHz, by synchronizing to the EtherCAT’s
'distributed clock mode'
(available on the “E101” sensor output
option).

LINEARITY CORRECTION OPTION (LCO)
The Linearity Correction Option (LCO) provides improved sensor
output accuracy. For most stroke lengths linearity accuracy is
improved up to a factor of 5 resulting in deviations from actual
position of less than ± 20 µm (0.0008 in.). For stroke lengths
over 5000 mm (197 in.), the linearity accuracy is improved
up to factor of 10. Selecting the sensor style and magnet is important
(both must be matched together). Contact the factory for assistance
when designing for the LCO in your application.

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
V
or 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.
