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 application 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.

Controller Area Network (CAN) is a standard for device level communications and the foundation of fieldbus systems like DeviceNet,
CANopen and CANbus.These fieldbus systems can provide high
speed transmission appropriate for position indication and for motion control in industrial applications.
DeviceNet allows users to interface up to 64 devices using a single
cable, thus eliminating the need for conventional methods of multiple
wire runs. DeviceNet provides a way to define how, and in which
priority, data will be transmitted over the network. The result is a
lower complexity, cost-effective communications network linking
industrial measurement and control devices. Together, the open
DeviceNet protocol and the MTS “smart” R-Series sensors offer an
effective, high-precision data transfer system that is well suited for
industrial automation.

SENSOR STATUS AND DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY
Integrated diagnostic LEDs (green/red), located beside sensor connector (see ‘Figure 1’), provide basic visual monitoring
for normal sensor operation and DeviceNet communications.
Diagnostic display LEDs indicate two modes, Network and Module
status as described in ‘Table 1’.
Figure 1. R-Series sensor Integrated diagnostic LEDs
DeviceNet protocol
R-Series models RP and RH linear-position sensors as slave devices
fulfill all requirements of the CANbus (ISO 11898) standard. The sensors electronics and integrated software implement the DeviceNet
protocol to convert the displacement measurements into bus
oriented outputs and transfer this data directly to the controller.The
DeviceNet protocol is appropriate for serial data transfer up to 500
kBit/sec.
When using the DeviceNet protocol with R-series sensors, functionality always includes but is not limited to the following:
• Position
• Error Detection
• Polling & bit-strobe communications modes
PLUG AND PLAY
R-Series sensors with DeviceNet output can be directly connected
to a DeviceNet network. The plug and play design makes installation
quick and easy. The sensor acts as a “slave” device that transmits

its position and status data upon request to the “master” device
such as a PLC or IPC. After initial system configuration, the user is
not required to have extensive knowledge concerning network timing and sensor technology to execute operations within DeviceNet
environment. Sensor-specific parameters are installed into the
network using the Electronic Data Sheet (EDS). To obtain the EDS,
go to www.mtssensors.com.
There are only two programmable parameters, which are, the node
identifier and the baud rate. If desired, a PC programming tool,
such as DeviceNet Manager offered by Allen Bradley, can be used
to change their values. The node identifier is factory set at node 63.
The selected baud rate is shown in the sensor's model number.
Note that the sensor will only be recognized on a network running
at the same baud rate.
