This principle for accurate and non-contact measurement of linear-position sensing was developed 30 years ago by MTS and is used with outstanding success in a large variety of industrial applications. Industrial applications include harsh environmental conditions such as presses, injection molding, tire presses, rolling plants, tunnel driving machines and hydraulic units.

Digital Output:

Digital-pulse output for the EP2 sensor is Start/Stop. Here the sensor requires a start signal from a controller or interface card to initiate the measurement cycle. The sensor generates a stop signal at the end of the measurement cycle that is used to stop the controller's counter clock. The elapsed time between the Start and Stop signals is directly proportional to the magnet's position along the active stroke length. The controller can calculate the absolute position of the magnet from the time value and the sensor's unique gradient value, (inverse of the speed for the ultrasonic pulse traveling in the sensor's waveguide).

Multi-Position Measurements:

The Model EP2 digital-pulse output sensor can provide multi-position measurements when used with more than one position magnet, and an appropriate controller/interface card. The minimum allowed distance between magnets is 3.0 in (76 mm) to maintain proper sensor output. The total number of magnets is limited by the EP2 stroke length, and the particular interface card/controller that is used.

Temposonics E-Series Model EP2 analog output sensors come with integrated analog conditionaing electronics. The sensor can be connected to a control system or indicator directly without the need for an additional interface. The built-in microelectronics produce a continuous voltage output that is proportional to the magnet position. The active measurement stroke range is factory set.
