5 Product Features

The series EMAX / EMAL is an absolute length measuring system. Sensor and translator and interpolation unit are together in the same compact housing. The magnetic tape of series EMAB is paste up to a plain area. The EMAX / EMAL encoders can be mounted with a maximum distance of 1.5 mm to the magnetic tape. With a reduced measuring accuracy the sensor distance can be up to 2.0 mm.
The only difference between EMAX and EMAL is the maximum measuring length:
EMAX up to 10 m EMAL up to 20 m
SSI, CAN, RS232, RS422 and IO-Link are available as interfaces for the EMAX / EMAL sensors. For more information about the interfaces see section 8.
Typical applications are handling systems, conveyor and storage technology, hydraulic presses, stamping ma­chines, casting machines, linear slides, linear drives and pick and place systems.
Two different designs are possible as sensor housings:
1. sensor housing with fixed cable outlet (see 6.2)
2. sensor housing with M9 round connector (see 6.3)
For versions with fixed cable outlet, a guide carriage and a guide rail are available (see accessories 12.2).

5.1 Functional principle

A Hall sensor and a magneto-resistive impedance measuring bridge are guided over a two-track magnetic tape with a fine-interpolation trace and an absolute track. Together with the sensor line the absolute track provides an absolute value and the fine-interpolation trace provides together with the interpolation electronic the measur­ing systems high resolution.
The fine interpolation track encloses alternately north- and south-pole tracks with a distance of 5 mm. These are scanned with resistance bridges and provide a resolution of 0.01 mm. The absolute value provides the sensor line with 16 single Hall sensors; these sensors are scanning the code sections of the north and south poles. The absolute value on the magnetic tape recurs every 10 m with an EMAX resp. every 20 m with an EMAL system.

7.2 Installation of the Magnetic Tape

7.2.1 Structure of magnetic tape

In the standard case, the magnetic tape is delivered as described It is installed by gluing it to the respective mounting surface.
The magnetic tape consists of 2 pre-assembled components (Figure 5: Components of the magnetic tape):
A magnetized, flexible plastic tape (Pos. 3), which is connected with a magnetically conductive steel
tape as inference band (Pos. 4) and is supplied with an adhesive tape (Pos. 5).
A magnetized permeable cover tape (Pos. 1), which serves for the mechanical protection of the plastic
tape (not required for the measurement) and is supplied with an adhesive tape (Pos. 2).
Therefore a divergent tape structure and scope of delivery is also possible. The cover tape is also available separately

Steel tape

7.2.2 Handling

In order to avoid tension in the tape, it must not be stretched, compressed or twisted. It should be stored with the magnetized plastic tape to the outside, the minimum bending radius must be noted here
Figure 6: Handling

7.2.3 Processing hint for the gluing of magnetic tapes

Surface-Preparation: In order to guarantee optimal adhesion, all antiadhesive contamination (e.g. oil, grease, dust, separating agents) has to be removed using solvents with residue-free evaporation. Suitable agents are ketones or alcohols. Typical solvents for cleaning the surface are a 50/50 isopropyl alco­hol/water mixture or heptane. Those agents are offered by Loctite and 3M among others as surface cleaners. When using solvents, always observe the manufacturer instructions! If the surface is copper, brass etc., it should be sealed to avoid oxidation.
Contact-Pressure: The strength of the adhesion is directly dependent on the contact the adhesive can form with the surface. Therefore it is important to use as much pressure as possible when gluing the tape, possibly by us­ing aids such as draw rolls. The optimum contact pressure is 4…5 kg/cm2).
Gluing temperature: The optimal gluing temperature is between + 21 ° C and 38 ° C. Avoid colder sticking surfaces than + 10 °C, because in this case the adhesive becomes too hard and perhaps a sufficient immediate adhesion is hardly to achieve. After proper sticking, the stability of the connection is ensured also when the tem­perature is below zero. The final tackiness of a sticking is from experience reached after approximately 72 hours (at + 21 °C). For gluing use only the supplied adhesive tape.
Installation and First Start-Up
- 17 -
Length cover tape = measuring length + sensor length + 50mm (end caps)
NOTE! When sticking the magnetic tape pay attention to the markings on the tape and the Sensor. Improper installation does not provide the correct values. A already glued magnetic tape is destroyed after the removal, and cannot be used again. Note also the direction of counting of the measuring system
Preferably the magnetic tape should be glued close to an edge or into a groove, which should be deep enough to embed the magnetic tape and the cover tape.
When unprotected, the cover tape may peel off!
Therefore: Use tape end caps (see chapter 9.2) or let the cover tape overlap* the end of the magnetic tape and fix it with a screw.

7.2.4 Cutting and Gluing

Before starting the gluing process, both the magnetic and the cover tape have to be cut to the required length
The tape must be glued smoothly on the surface. The measuring accuracy decreases if the tape is not even!
Before gluing the magnetic tape and the cover tape onto the surface, they should be left lying on the mounting surface for ca. 30 minutes so that the temperature matches. This prevents strain in the tape due to thermal ex­pansion.
Mounting steps:

7.3.2 Mounting Direction of EMAX / EMAL Sensor to Magnetic Tape

Since the magnetic tape has two magnetized tracks, the sensor and magnetic tape must always be mounted in the correct direction in order to obtain correct measurement results.
Marking arrows on the tape and sensor clearly indicate the correct mounting direction.
The pole finder foil, which is available as an accessory ( 12.2) and is placed on the magnetic tape, can also be used to determine the respective pole pitches. The pole pitches result in the following mounting direction:
Figure 8: Mounting direction on magnetic tape
The sensor center must be aligned to the magnetic tape center (±0.5 mm) Markers on tape and sensor are additionally indicators for the mounting direction When using the accessorial option FS-1000 ( 12.2), the mounting direction is marked on the guide rail

7.4 Offset Calibration

After the installation of magnetic tape and measuring system (sensor head), a value is transmit via interface. Since this value does not correspond to the machine zero point, it should be possible to store an offset on the control side.

8 Interfaces

The following chapters give detailed information about the available interfaces.

8.1 Interface SSI (option SB0 and SG0)

Principle of the function: If the clock is not interrupted for the time Tm-T/2 (output of further 25 periods), the shift register clocks once again the same data value (error recognition in evaluation). With the SSI interface, trans­mission frequencies up to max. 250 KHz can be ensured. The SSI interface is generally terminated with an inter­nal terminating resistor.
Some encoders contain a Power Failure Bit (PFB):
With EMAX the PFB is always „low“, unless the maximum allowed distance from sensor to tape is exceeded.
Figure 9: SSI - reading the data
By using the rotary code switch, which is located behind a protection cap (see figure below), the data format of the SSI interface can be set to Gray or binary code.

EMAX or EMAL answers: 0x02 0xff 0xff Err 0x03 STX 0xff 0xff Error Code ETX With Err = 0x04... 0x0a
Protocol of an addressable EMAX / EMAL:
0x02 (STX) starts a message 0x03 (ETX) close the message Byte3 (check) is the arithmetic sum of 0x02(STX), Byte1 and Byte2. ETX is not included in the checksum
0x04 characterizes the message as position-request i is the address of the requested EMAX / EMAL (i = 0x0b... 0x7f).
The position value consists of 3 byte: PosLow (bit 0… bit 7), PosMid (bit 8… bit15), PosHigh (bit16...bit23). Bit 0 has the value10 µm. Position-values are always smaller than 0xffff00. Please note: The last byte is no ETX, like in all the other messages, but the EMAX / EMAL address.
Interrogation of the address of an EMAX / EMAL: Connect always only a single EMAX / EMAL to be interrogated via RS422/RS232 converter to COM port of a PC.
Note: The combination 0xff 0xff does not appear in normal mode for position answers of EMAX / EMAL (directly after STX) It is a sign for a special message not a position (in this case with 0x0b <= i <=0x7f it is the answer to the interrogation of the address).
Negative answer: If one of the described operations failed for some reasons, the EMAX / EMAL encoder will give a negative answer with a concerning error code.

8.8 IO-Link Interface

The IO-Link interface is available in both designs (housing with fixed cable outlet or with round connector).

8.8.1 Connections

In order to comply with the IO-Link standard, the housing variant with fixed cable outlet is supplied with
a 4-pin M12 (male) round connector with the IO-Link standard pin assignment.
Pin assignment see 10.1.5
For versions with IO-Link and additional incremental output (see 9) the 4-pin IO-Link standard round
connector is no longer sufficient. Here, the sensor cable is supplied with open cable ends as standard. Optionally, the cable can be supplied with a 12-pin M12 (male) round connector (see 12 Type Designation Connection options "RCM0").
Pin assignment see 10.1.6
For the housing version with round connector, an additional DKA cable with the M12 round connector
mentioned above and identical pin assignment is available as an accessory (see 12.2 Accessories). For this version no incremental outputs (see option 9) are available. Pin assignment see 10.2.2

8.8.2 Functional Description

The IO-Link interface integrated in the sensor enables continuous communication between the system controller and the field level.
Position information and errors are independently reported to the controller and can be easily viewed. Conversely, format adjustments, for example, can be set up more easily.

8.8.3 Process Data

EMAX-IO cyclically transmits a measurement value via the IO-Link interface. Properties of the measurement value:
signed is output in µm 32 bit format index 28 (16)

8.8.4 Set Zero

1. Move the EMAX-IO sensor to the desired position.
2. Write E0 (16) on Index 2 / Subindex 0 via system command “Set Zero.
3. EMAX-IO calculates the offset so that zero is output at the approached position.

Disturbances, Maintenance, Cleaning
- 37 -
CAUTION! The device, the connection line and the signal cable must not be installed next to sources of interference that emit strong inductive or capacitive interference or strong electrostatic fields.
External perturbations can be avoided thorough suitable cable routing.
The screen of the signal output cable should only be connected to the following circuit on one side. The screens should not be grounded on both sides. Signal cables always have to be routed separately from the load power line. A safety distance of at least 0,5 m has to be kept from inductive and capacitive sources of interference such as con­tactors, relays, motors, switching power supplies, clocked controllers etc!
If interferences occur in spite of all the items stated above being observed, please proceed as follows:
1. Installation of RC-circuits via contactor coils of AC-contactors (e.g. 0,1 µF / 100 )
2. Installation of recovery diodes via DC-inductors
3. Installation of RC-circuits via the different motor phases (in the terminal box of the motor)
4. Do not connect protective earth and ground
5. Connect a mains filter ahead of the external power pack
WARNING! Danger of injury through non-conventional fault clearance!
Non-conventional fault clearance can lead to severe injuries and damage of property.
Therefore:
Any work to clear the faults may only be performed by sufficiently qualified staff Arrange enough space before starting the works Make sure that the mounting area is clean and tidy. Loose components and tools are sources of accidents.
If components need to be replaced:
Pay attention to a correct installation of the spare parts. Reinstall all the fixing elements properly Before turning on the device, ensure that all covers and safety equipment is installed correctly and functions
properly
WARNING! The device can only be cleaned with a damp cloth, do not use aggressive cleanser!

11 Disturbances, Maintenance, Cleaning

This chapter describes possible causes for disturbances and measures for their removal. In case of increased disturbances, please follow the measures for fault clearance in chapter 11.1. In case of disturbances that cannot be eliminated by following the advice and the fault clear­ance measures given here, please contact the manufacturer (see second page).

11.1 Fault Clearance

11.2 Re-start after Fault Clearance

After the fault clearance:
1. Reset the emergency stop mechanism if necessary
2. Reset the error report at the super-ordinate system if necessary.
3. Ensure that there are no persons in the danger area.
