SICK MPS-G

13 Glossary
Cycle time Duration of the last cycle in ms.
One cycle corresponds to 2 strokes: Start position – stop position
– start position
The start position is in the direction of the sensor cable.
The stop position is in the direction of the sensor fixing screw.
Detection range The detection range describes the maximum physical range in
which the sensor can determine a position. The detection range is
max. +30mm and - 30mm around the physical zero position.
Dwell time stop position Dwell time in stop position in ms.
The stop position is in the direction of the sensor fixing screw.
Dynamic Pilot Dynamic Pilot sets an additional condition for the switching process
during operation:
In addition to the condition that the magnet must be located
within the tolerance band defined in Dynamic Teach, the speed of
the magnet must also be v = 0 and the approach direction must
correspond in order to switch on.
•
Qint switches on ...
... when a magnet moves into the tolerance band and v = 0
for the first time within this tolerance band. (The approach
direction must be plausible according to the Move and Grip
applications, see figures in section 3.3.6)
•
After switching on, Qint remains on ...
... as long as the magnet is within the tolerance band and the
hysteresis (depending on whether v = 0 or v ≠ 0).
•
Qint switches off ...
... as soon as the magnet leaves the hysteresis.
Dynamic Teach and Man‐
ual Teach
Dynamic Teach and Manual Teach are two different teach options. The
teach-in button can be used to execute both Dynamic Teach and
Manual Teach.
•
Dynamic Teach:
Dynamic Teach can be used to have the sensor automatically set
the end points of the desired measuring range.
•
Manual Teach:
Manual Teach is used to manually teach in the two end points
of the measuring range using the teach-in button. Both end
points are taught in separately.
The teach-in processes are described in detail in section 8.3.
Linearity error The linearity error describes the maximum deviation of the output
signal from an ideal straight line. It is measured in millimeters.
MPS-G with 2/3 digital switching points and IO-Link (up to 16
switching points): The linearity error is typically 0.5mm and
depends on the measuring range and the drive on which the
sensor is mounted.
Maximum measured field
strength at sensor element
1
Maximum measured field strength for sensor element 1 in mT.
This value is recalculated each time the element is passed over.
Sensor element 1 is in the direction of the sensor cable.
Measuring range The measuring range can be anywhere inside the detection range.
The measuring range must always be completely inside the detec‐
tion range.
