EP2 IO-Link Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensor
Brand: Temposonics an Amphenol CompanyRobust, non-contact and wear free, the Temposonics linear position sensor provide high durability and precise position measurement feedback in harsh industrial environments.
Measurement accuracy is tightly controlled by the quality of the waveguide manufactured exclusively by MTS Sensors. The compact and smooth aluminum profile offers flexible mounting options and easy installation.
Moreover, the position magnet can travel along the entire flat housing profile. The EP2 is ideal for industrial applications including plastics molding and processing, factory automation and packaging.
Temposonics EP2 with IO-Link allows customers to adjust parameters including measuring direction, resolution or offset. In addition, a switching state can be outputted in parallel to the transfer of the position value.
The switching points as well as the switching logic can be parameterized. IO-Link is an open standard according to IEC 61131-9. It is a serial, bi-directional point-to-point connection for signal transmission and energy supply.
The bi-directional communication enables consistent communication between sensors and the controller as well as consistent diagnostic information down to the sensor level.
