SICK MPS-G

Offset The offset is added to the position identified by the sensor. Nega‐
tive position values can be output depending on the positioning of
the sensor on the drive. If you do not want this, an offset value can
be defined around which all position values are added.
Position output = identified position of the sensor + offset value.
The offset value is specified in digits. 1digit corresponds to
10µm.
Piston velocity Average speed of the piston during extension:
Average measured speed of the stroke in the positive direction
in m/s. The positive direction goes in the direction of the sensor
fixing screw.
Average speed of the piston during retraction:
Average measured speed of the stroke in the negative direction
in m/s. The negative direction goes in the direction of the sensor
cable.
Qint Qint.SP:
SP = switching point
Range of movement The range of movement describes the actual path traveled by the
piston.
Repeatability Repeatability is defined as any move to a preset position from the
same direction in every case.
MPS-G with 2/3 digital switching points and IO-Link (up to 16
switching points): The repeatability is typically 0.05mm and
depends on the drive on which the sensor is mounted.
Resolution The sensor resolution describes the minimum, specifiable magnet
route change as output by the sensor.
MPS-G with 2/3 digital switching points and IO-Link (up to 16
switching points): The resolution is 0.01mm.
Sampling rate The sampling rate indicates the time interval in which the signal is
updated at the outputs.
MPS-G with 2/3 digital switching points and IO-Link (up to 16
switching points): The sampling rate is min. 2kHz.
Stroke traveled Measured travel of the last stroke in mm
Total distance traveled by
the piston
Total travel of the piston in m
Travel time of the piston
during extension
Duration of the last stroke in the positive direction in ms. The
positive direction goes in the direction of the sensor fixing screw.
One stroke corresponds to movement in a direction. Direction of
movement during extension: 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.
