2 2.1

Function and Characteristics Function The torsional wave arriving at the end of the waveguide is absorbed in the damping zone. The wave arriving at the beginning of the waveguide creates an electrical signal in the coil surrounding the waveguide. The propagation time of the wave is used to derive the position. This is output as a current value and has rising characteristics, Fig. 2-1. This process takes place with measuring high precision and repeatability within the stroke range defined as nominal stroke length. When there is no magnet located in the nominal stroke range, a signal is output as an error indication. At the rod end is a damping zone, within which no reliable signal is available, but which may be entered by the magnet. The electrical connection between the transducer, the controller and the power supply is via a cable or leads. Dimensions for installing the Micropulse transducer: Fig. 3-1.

The transducer contains a tubular waveguide enclosed by an outer stainless steel rod. A magnet attached to the moving member of the machine or to the cylinder piston is moved over the rod and its position constantly updated. The magnet defines the measured position on the waveguide. An internally generated INIT pulse interacts with the magnetic field of the magnet to generate a magnetostrictive torsional wave in the waveguide which propagates at ultrasonic speed.

Installation variants

Be sure that no strong electrical or magnetic fields are generated in the direct vicinity of the transducer. For horizontal mounting of transducer with stroke lengths greater than 500 mm, the pressure tube should be supported or attached at its end. Be sure that no strong electrical or magnetic fields are generated in the direct vicinity of the transducer.

The smallest permissible distance between magnet ring and rod mounting surface is shown in Fig. 3-1. Essentially the BTL transducer can be attached in two ways in a toleranced hole 48 H8 , whereby sealing is accomplished using the O-ring and support ring supplied: The body of the transducer is fixed in place using 3 M5 threaded studs at 120 spacing.

Wiring Note the following when making electrical connections:

A magnet is required for each transducer. This must be ordered separately. Fig. 3-5. For mounting the magnet we recommend to use non-magnetizable material. Fig. 3-1.

System and control cabinet must be at the same ground potential. To ensure the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) which Balluff warrants with the CE Mark, the following instructions must be strictly followed. BTL transducer and the processor/control must be connected using shielded cable. Shielding: Copper filament braided, 85% coverage. The shield must be tied to the connector housing in the BKS connector Pin assignments can be found in Table 4-1.

Fig. 3-5: Spacer (optional) To avoid coupled noise, avoid proximity to high-current lines when routing cable between transducer, controller and power supply. Inductive coupled noise from AC harmonics (e.g., from phase controls) are especially critical, against which the cable shield offers very little protection. Max. cable length 20 m. Longer cables may be used if their construction, shielding and routing prevent noise interference. The cable must be routed strainrelieved.

Startup Check connections 5.3 Check output values 5.5 Fault conditions

Although the connections are polarity reversal protected, components can be damaged by improper connections and overvoltage. Before you apply power, check the connections carefully. 5.2 Turning on the system

After replacing or repairing a transducer, it is advisable to verify the values for the start and end position of the magnet in manual mode. If values other* than those present before the replacement or repair are found, a correction should be made.
* Transducers are subject to modification or manufacturing tolerances.

When there is evidence that the transducer system is not operating properly, it should be taken out of service and guarded against unauthorized use. 5.6 Noise elimination

Note that the system may execute uncontrolled movements when first turned on or when the transducer is part of a closed-loop system whose parameters have not yet been set. Therefore make sure that no hazards could result from these situations.

5.4

Check functionality

The functionality of the transducer system and all its associated components should be regularly checked and recorded.

To avoid a equipotential bonding - a current flow - through the cable shield, we recommend that putting the control cabinet and the system in which the BTL6 is located at the same ground potential.
