Product catalog summary
Introduction
The RACO Electronic Position Sensor (EPS) is an innovative solution designed to simplify the automation of electric cylinders. It integrates control and switch functions into the electromechanical drive, offering advantages such as inductive position mapping and feedback.

Specifications
The EPS functions like an absolute multi-turn encoder, consisting of a PCB and a magnetic holder with a magnet. It simplifies installation, repairs, maintenance, and upgrades compared to traditional mechanical limit switches. The system is designed for positioning electro-mechanical actuators for linear movements, using inductive magnetic field coupling for position determination. A lithium battery powers the data store, eliminating the need for referencing after power disconnection, with a buffer function guaranteed for 10 years.

Flexibility and Adaptability
The RACO path sensor offers flexibility to meet current and future requirements through its modular setup. It can be adapted to match individual user needs, providing easy handling and high reliability. The basic version maps final positions, while the full version supports complex position mapping and evaluation via PC.

Cost Efficiency
The EPS solution offers significant cost-saving potential by reducing installation and commissioning costs. Improved reliability and reduced maintenance requirements contribute to savings over the system's service life.

Performance Characteristics and Technical Data
The EPS is integrated into the motor shaft housing or coupling housing for motors with manual actuation. The basic version (EPS 02) allows setting direction of rotation and final positions with buttons, and includes an optional external reference switch. An LED display aids in setup and initialization checks. The motor temperature switch can be linked to the EPS electronics, stopping movement if triggered.

The full version (EPS 06) includes an interface for external parameter setting via PC, 4 digital switching positions, an analogue position feedback feature, a speed monitor, and switch-off functions for both rotation directions. It also allows separate pulse evaluation like an incremental sensor.

Technical Data
  • EPS 02: Power supply: 24V DC, Relay-output: 250V AC/5A, Accuracy: ± 1%, Hysteresis: < 0.1 mm, Battery life: 10 years, Temperature range: -40°C to +85°C, Protection class: IP00/IP54/IP65.
  • EPS 06: Additional 4 digital outputs, 1 digital input, Analogue output: 0-10 V DC or 0(4)-20 mA, Overload switch with RPM monitoring, USB parameter setting interface.

RACO Electronic Position Sensor EPS02/06-1

RACO PATH SENSOR ELECTRONIC POSITION SENSOR EPS The intelligent solution for integrated control: the Electronic Position Senor RACO is simplifying the automation of electric cylinders by means of an easy-to-use intelligent solution. the control and switch function into advantages are inductive position mapping and feedback and for setting Like an absolute multi-turn encoder, a magnetic holder with magnet. Compared with a classic set-up with mechanical limit switches and individually adaptable manual trans- mission, installation, repairs, main- tenance and upgrading are all easier. The RACO positioning system has been designed especially for positio- ning electro-mechanical actuators for carrying out linear movements. In this case, the determination of position does not take place using the classical electromechanical method, rather it is realized inductively through magnetic field coupling. Position mapping even takes place without operating voltage being applied, since a lithium battery supplies the data store with power. This means referencing is not necessary after the device has been disconnected from the mains power supply. The buffer function is guaran- teed for a service life of 10 years. The RACO path sensor also provides an incomparable degree of flexibility. In order to be able to fulfil present and future requirements, it has newly developed intelligent technology. Thanks to the flexible modular set-up, the functions can be adapted in such a way that they match the individual requirements of the end user. RACO path sensory stands out thanks to its easy handling and high degree of reliability. In the basic version it is suitable for mapping final positions, and in the full version for complex position mapping and evaluation This RACO solution means enormous cost-saving potential for the user. The straightforward set-up procedure reduces costs for installation working method and increased reliability also lead to savings over the whole system service life, as do the reduced maintenance requirements and increased system and process
