Temposonics G-Series sensors are preconfigured at the factory by model code designation. For many applications no adjustments are required for normal sensor installation and operation.

If, however, sensor parameter changes are desired while in the field, the G-Series sensor is easily programmed. Using external communication for monitoring and programming, there is no need to open the sensor’s electronics housing. This can simplify installation and commissioning, saving valuable time. Keeping the sensor electronics isolated ensures that seal integrity and the highest product reliability are
maintained.

The new platform technology inside the G-Series position sensor enables:

» Infrared (IR) send and receive for wireless communication.
» Built-in serial interfaces for robust hard-wired serial communication,
   (RS-422 for digital-pulse outputs and RS-485 for analog outputs).
» Remote programmability for operational modes and sensor parameters.
» Enhanced monitoring and diagnostic capabilities (see below).


Programmable modes and sensor parameters for G-Series position sensors
include:

For Digital outputs

» Start/Stop or PWM output mode
» Internal or external interrogation mode for PWM mode
» Number of recirculations (1 to 15) for PWM mode

For Analog outputs

» Voltage or Current output mode
» Voltage or Current output range
» Full adjustment for null and span set points

R-SERIES SSI SENSORS

Temposonics R-Series sensors are preconfigured at the factory by model code
designation. If needed, MTS offers an external service tool for modifying sensor
parameters inside the active electrical stroke (minimum 25 mm between setpoints)
via the standard connection cable. There is no need to open the sensors
electronics.

PC-Programmer R-SSI

This hardware converter is required to communicate via serial port of Windows
PC to the sensor. Customized settings are possible by using a MTS programming
software (CD-ROM) for:

» Data length
» Data format
» Resolution
» Measuring direction
» Synchronous / asynchronous measurement
» Offset, begin of the measurement range
» Alarm value (Magnet outside)
» Measurement filter
» Differential measurement: Distance between two magnets
» Speed measurement instead of position

R-SERIES ANALOG SENSORS

Temposonics R-Series sensors are preconfigured at the factory by model code
designation. If needed, MTS offers different external service tools for modifying
sensor parameters inside the active electrical stroke (minimum 25 mm between setpoints) via the standard connection cable. There is no need to open the sensors electronics. Following tools are available:

Hand-Programmer for 1 Magnet Sensor

For easy teach-in setups of measuring length and direction by moving the magnet on desired Null / Span positions and pushing the 0 / 100 % buttons.

PC-Programmer  for 1 or 2 Magnets Sensors

This hardware converter is required to communicate via serial port of a
Windows PC to the sensor. Customized settings are possible by using the MTS
programming software (CD-ROM) for:

» Zero/Span Magnet 1
» Zero/Span Magnet 2
» Velocity range
» Free assignment of outputs to measured position or velocity
» Error output value (e.g. magnet out of stroke)
