5.1 Analog Output Options
R-Series V analog sensors can be ordered for single channel or dual
channel outputs.
The single channel output model provides the position value for a
single magnet that is output over a voltage or current range. Also,
the single channel output can provide a differential value between
2magnet positions.
The dual channel output model can provide a magnet position value on
one channel and the speed value (without direction) or velocity value
(with direction) on the second channel.
Additionally, the dual channel output can be used for applications
requiring 2 magnet position values (requires 75 mm minimum
distance between magnets), or for one magnet position value along
with its reverse-acting value, or for one magnet position and the
temperature inside of the electronics housing.
For all these cases, the single channel and dual channel outputs are
selectable for their range of values.
5.2 Introduction
Temposonics

R-Series V Analog sensors are pre-configured at the
factory by the model number ordering code. For many applications,
normal sensor installation and operation does not require additional
adjustment. If however, sensor parameter changes are required in the
field, the TempoLink smart assistant, the hand programmer for analog
output (part no. 253 124) or the cabinet programmer for analog
output (part no. 253 408) can be used to easily program the sensor
electronically.
The hand programmer for analog output and the cabinet programmer
for analog output can be used to program the magnet positions for the
start of output (0 % = 0 VDC, −10 VDC, 4 mA, or 0 mA), and the end
of output (100 % = 10 VDC, or 20 mA), for the single magnet version
sensor.
Standard factory settings place setpoint 1 (start of stroke) and
setpoint 2 (end of stroke) at the limits of the sensor’s active stroke
range. Both setpoint 1 and 2 can be re-positioned for the actual
measuring range needed anywhere within the active stroke length, but
a minimum distance of 25 mm is required between the setpoints.
Please note that the hand programmer for analog output and the
cabinet programmer for analog output can only be used to program
output values for 0% or 100%. To adjust the values to other than
0% or 100% of the output range, you must use the TempoLink smart
assistant.
The TempoLink smart assistant can be used to retrieve the sensor's
status and operational data for diagnostics. Additionally, it provides
field programming for all of the sensor’s settings.
