R-Series V RF5 PROFINET

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Temposonics R-Series V RF5 PROFINET is a magnetostrictive linear position sensor with a flexible sensor rod, capable of measuring stroke lengths up to 20 meters. It supports field adjustments and diagnostics through TempoLink and TempoGate smart assistants.
Key Features:
  • Detects and reports up to 30 magnet positions and velocities simultaneously.
  • Provides diagnostic data such as total distance traveled, internal temperature, and total operating hours.
  • Flexible sensor rod allows for straight and curved line measurements, compact storage, and installation in confined spaces.
Measuring Technology: Utilizes proprietary magnetostrictive technology for high precision and robustness, involving a ferromagnetic waveguide, position magnet, strain pulse converter, and electronics.
Technical Advantages:
  • Reduced non-flexible area by over 70% for easier installation.
  • Smooth transition between flexible and non-flexible areas.
  • Reduced outer diameter and bending radius for installation in tight spaces.
  • Increased ingress protection (IP68) for enhanced durability.
Technical Data:
  • Output Interface: PROFINET RT and IRT version 2.3.
  • Resolution: Selectable from 0.5 to 100 µm.
  • Operating Temperature: -40 to +85 °C.
  • Ingress Protection: IP68.
  • Shock and Vibration Resistance: Compliant with IEC standards.
Design and Materials: The sensor electronics housing is made of aluminum and zinc die-cast, with stainless steel used for the sensor flange and rod. It complies with RoHS and EMC directives.
Installation and Connectivity: The sensor can be mounted in any position and is powered via an external Class 2 power source. It features M12 and M8 connectors for signal and power supply.
Accessories: Includes various position magnets, O-rings, mounting accessories, and cable connectors. Additional options are available in the accessories catalog.
Specifications: The document details the specifications of various cables and connectors used in the system, including material, features, cable lengths, operating temperature, and ingress protection.
Procedures: Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions, emphasizing the use of correct connectors and maintaining specified distances between magnets for accurate measurements.
Norms and Standards: References PROFINET standards, including RT and IRT for data transmission, and the use of GSDML files for device implementation and data exchange.
Recommendations: For multi-position measurement, select the linear profile (U402) and ensure the use of magnets of the same type. Use a support pipe for the flexible sensor rod.
Ordering Information: Provides detailed ordering codes for different sensor models, design options, stroke lengths, number of magnets, connection types, and output configurations.
Glossary: Definitions of technical terms such as Encoder Profile, Extrapolation, GSDML, Internal Linearization, Linear Profile, Multi-position measurement, PROFINET, and RT are provided.
Contact Information: Contact details for Temposonics offices in various countries are included for further inquiries.
