Benefits of Magnetostriction
Temposonics linear-position sensors use the time-based
magnetostrictive 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.

Product Overview and Specifications
Product overview
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.

CANopen communication and functionality
CANopen corresponds to encoder profile
‘DS-406 V3.1 (CIA standard
DS-301 V4.02)’.
The CANopen functionality is described below in the
following communication objects.
Note:
Conformance Test Certificate No. CiA199902-301V30/I-004 is provided by
the CANbus user organization CiA (CAN in Automation) for MTS CANopen
sensors.

Diagnostic display indicator modes
CANbus protocol
Temposonics R-Series models RP and RH linear-position sensors,
as slave devices, fulfill all requirements of the CANbus (ISO 11898)
protocol. The sensor’s electronics convert the position measure-
ments into bus oriented outputs and transfer this data directly to the
controller.
The bus interface is appropriate for serial data transfer up to
1 Mbps maximum. Sensor integrated software supports bus
profiles CANopen, CANbasic and DeviceNet for a comprehensive
customized configuration of the sensor-bus system.
DeviceNet documentation is available from the MTS website at
http://www.mtssensors.com/products/linear-position-sensors/
index.html.
OPERATION MODES
R-Series sensors with CANbus protocol provide the following single
or multi-magnet measurements:
Standard measurements:
• CANbasic; Position + velocity (using one magnet)
• CANopen; Position + velocity (using one to four magnets)
+ sensor internal electronics temperature
Multi-magnet measurement:
CANbasic; Positions for each of two to twenty magnets
simultaneously.
When using multiple magnets, the minimum allowed distance be-
tween magnets is 75 mm (3 in.) to maintain proper sensor output
(see ‘Figure 2’).
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
designing for the LCO in your application.
SERVICE DATA OBJECT (SD0)
The SDO is mainly used for sensor configuration. Selectable
parameters are as follows:
• Resolution for position + velocity
• 4 set points
• Preset of the operation range and the null position for four
magnets
PROCESS DATA OBJECT (PDO)
The PDO provides real-time data transfer of sensor measurements in
up to 8-byte data blocks. The sensor uses PDO’s to relay information
about magnet position, velocity, limit status, cam control and opera-
tion range for up to four magnets.
Data formats:
• 32-bits for position
• 16-bits for velocity
• 8-bits for value limit.

CANopen handheld address programmer
The
CANopen Handheld Address Programmer (see ‘Figure 3’)
is
offered as an accessory used to setup the Node-Address for sensors
with the CANopen interface. This setup is usually completed by the
bus’ LMT/LSS-Service. If the master system or customer controller
does not support this service, connecting the CANopen Handheld
Address Programmer to the sensor will bypass the service and allow
direct setup.
