Inductive displacement transducers IWN250

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the specifications and features of the IWN 250 series inductive displacement transducers with a CANopen interface. These transducers are designed for contactless measurement with robust sensor systems and integral electronics, offering a resolution of 12 bits and definite repeatability. They conform to CANopen standards and are suitable for various industrial applications.
Specifications:
  • Measuring Strokes: Available in 20 mm, 40 mm, 100 mm, and 200 mm.
  • Protection Class: IP 66, ensuring resistance to vibration, shock, humidity, oil, and corrosive substances.
  • Electrical Data: Resolution of 12 bits, independent linearity of 0.5% or 0.25%, measuring frequency up to 100 Hz, and a supply voltage range of +21.5 to +30 VDC.
  • Environmental Data: Operating temperature range from -10°C to +80°C, storage temperature range from -30°C to +80°C, and resistance to shock and vibration.
Construction and Operating Principle: The transducer operates on the principle of a differential choke, consisting of two coils in a stainless steel cylinder. A mu-metal plunger core alters inductance as it moves, which is converted into a proportional signal by the integral electronics.
CANopen Features:
  • Conforms to CiA Draft Standard 301 and Device Profile for Encoders CiA Draft Standard Proposal 406.
  • Supports NMT-Slave, emergency messages, heartbeat, and various PDO modes (sync, async, cyclic, acyclic).
  • Data rate adjustable from 20 kBaud to 1 MBaud, with node addresses from 1 to 127.
Operating Modes:
  • Polling Mode: Sends position value upon request from the master.
  • Cycle Mode: Sends position value after a change or predefined cycle time.
  • Sync Mode: Sends position value after receiving a SYNC telegram.
  • Acyclic Mode: Sends position value after a SYNC telegram if the value has changed.
Materials and Construction: The transducer is constructed with chrome-nickel steel for external and internal tubes, mu-metal for the core, and stainless steel for the spring and gauge head. The sealing plug is made of Delrin.
Accessories: Includes protective tubes, counter connectors, and mounting blocks, which are available separately.
Calibration and Documentation: The sensor system and plunger core are calibrated as a unit, with documentation and EDS files available through TWK's website.

It consists of two coils which are encapsulated in a stainless steel cylinder. A mu-metal plunger core causes opposing changes of inductance when it is displaced through the centre of the coils. These changes are converted by the integral electronic circuit into a signal proportional to the displacement. The circuit contains an oscillator, demodulator, a 12 bits A/D converter and a micro-processor with integral CAN interface. The transducers are completely sealed to ensure positive protection against vibration, shock, humidity, oil and corrosive matter. Standard measuring strokes: 20 mm, 40 mm, 100 mm, 200 mm General features The IWN transducers conform to the CANopen interface for Encoders to the CIA specification DSP 406 / Class 1 and Class 2. Besides administrative and pre-defined messages such as Energency-Messages and Synchronization, support is given to Service Data Objects (SDOs) and Process Data Objects (PDOs). PDOs are used for data exchange between master and slave, SDOs are used for direct reading and writing access to Object Registers between master and slave. The main application of SDOs is the device configuration, e.g. modification of the transmission type Tx-PDO-Object 1800 H.
