MTS Sensors, a division of MTS Systems Corporation, has introduced versions of its E-Series linear position sensors that support the IO-Link communication protocol (as outlined within the IEC 61131-9 standard).
- Available in a variety of different housing formats
- Highly optimized for addressing space-constrained industrial automation applications
- Offers simple bi-directional point-to-point communication with both signal transmission (at rates of up to 230.4 kbps) and power delivery being handled
- Enables consistent communication between sensors and controller, and provides access to valuable diagnostic data that will ensure ongoing reliable operation
- Maximum stroke length reaching up to 2,540 mm (100 in.)
- High degree linearity keeps deviation to within a margin of less than 0.02% (full scale)
- Rod-based option for in-cylinder integration is complemented by standard profile and low-profile options, plus an aluminum cylinder option that incorporates guided driving rod containing both the sensor element and accompanying electronics
- Configurability enables key parameters to be adjusted to suit specific application requirements, including assignment of measuring direction (forward or reverse) and offset value
- Operational temperature range covers -40-75 C (-40-167 F)
- Provides straightforward way to transfer bi-directional data in a broad spectrum of different automation systems, allowing greater functionality and enhanced operational performance
