Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the specifications and functionalities of the MAGNOSENS magnetostrictive displacement transducers, specifically models MPN (profile version) and MSN (rod version), which feature a CANopen interface. These transducers are designed for precise, contactless measurement of displacement with high resolution and linearity.
Specifications:
  • Measuring strokes range from 25 to 7600 mm.
  • Resolution up to 2 µm and linearity better than 0.01%.
  • Capable of measuring up to 4 positions simultaneously.
  • Operating temperature range from -40 °C to +75 °C.
  • Protection types up to IP 68, with rod version pressure stability up to 350 bar.
Structure and Operation: The transducers operate based on the run time measurement principle between two points of a magnetostrictive waveguide. The system is housed in a pressure-resistant stainless steel tube or extruded profile, with electronics contained in a die-cast aluminum housing.
CANopen Interface: The transducers comply with encoder profile DS-406/3.1 and support a transmission rate up to 1 MBaud. They offer extensive monitoring and diagnostic functions via SDO, configurable through an EDS file.
Output Data: The transducers provide a configurable data block (PDO) of up to 8 bytes, including position, speed, and status of limit values. Each transducer supports four PDOs corresponding to four magnets.
Operating Modes: Modes are selectable via SDOs, with asynchronous and synchronous data transfer options.
Technical Data:
  • Supply voltage: 24 VDC with polarity reversal protection.
  • Resolution: Displacement in µm (2, 5) and speed in mm/s (0.2, 0.5).
  • Linearity: 0.01% with repeatability < 0.001%.
  • Shock and vibration tests compliant with IEC standards.
  • EMC tests compliant with EN standards.
Installation and Accessories: The document provides detailed installation instructions, emphasizing the use of non-magnetic materials for mounting. Accessories include position magnets and connectors, with specific order codes for different configurations.
Diagrams and Tables: The document includes diagrams illustrating the dimensions and installation guidelines for both MPN and MSN models, as well as tables detailing baud rates and cable lengths.

Magnetostrictive displacement transducer MSN-1

MAGNOSENS Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducers Model series MPN / MSN with CANopen interface CANopen MXN 11432 DE 01 /2010 ■ Model MPN: Profile version ■ Model MSN: Rod version ■ Measuring strokes from 25 to 7600 mm ■ Contactless, robust system ■ Resolution up to 2 pm ■ Linearity better than 0.01 % ■ 4 positions measurable simultaneously ■ CANopen interface according to encoder profile DS-406/3.1 ■ Transmission rate up to 1 MBaud ■ Parameterisable via the bus ■ Protection types up to IP 68 ■ Operating temperature range -40 °C ... +75 °C ■ Rod version pressure stability up to 350 bar Structure and operation The displacement transducers operate according to the principle of run time measurement between two points of a magnetostrictive waveguide. One point is determined by a moveable position magnet, whose distance from the null point corresponds to the section to be measured. The run time of an emitted impulse is directly proportionate to this section. Conversion to a measuring signal takes place in the downstream electronics. The waveguide is housed in a pressure-resistant stainless steel tube or extruded profile. To the rear of this is a die-cast aluminium housing containing the electronics in SMD technology. In the rod version, the position magnet is located in a ring, which is guided over the rod without contact. In the profile version, it is located either in a slider, which is linked to the moving part of the machine via a ball joint, or it moves as a liftable position magnet, without wear, over the profile. Standard measuring strokes □ Up to 1000 mm in 50 mm steps □ Up to 5000 mm in 250 mm steps (profile version: MPN) □ Up to 7600 mm in 250 mm steps (rod version: MSN) Characteristics of CANopen The MXN magnetostrictive displacement transducers correspond to encoder profile DS-406/3.1 (CANopen standard DS-301/3.0) and can be connected directly to the field bus. Their measured data are converted to displacement-proportionate, bus-capable output signals in the sensor and are transmitted directly to the CANopen master. Properties from CANopen The CAN interface is designed for serial data transmission of max. 1 MBaud according to CAN standard ISO 11898. In addition to useful data transmission via PDO (Process Data Object), the CANopen protocol supports extensive monitoring and diagnostic functions via SDO (Service Data Object), which can be configured via the EDS file on installation. Displacement transducer output data The displacement transducer supplies a freely-configurable data block (PDO) of max. 8 bytes. This provides the following data as default: - Position (32-bit integer value) - Speed (16-bit integer value) - Status of the 4 limit values (1 byte) Each displacement transducer provides four PDOs. PDO1 to PDO4 correspond to magnets 1 to 4. Selectable parameters per magnet - Preset - Operating range - 4 limit values Operating modes Like programming the parameters, the operating modes are selected via the SDOs. The following settings are possible: Asynchronous: Independent data transfer in a selectable cycle from 1 - 65535 ms Synchronous: Data transfer following request (SYNC message) by the control system
