Mounting instructions for the displacement encoder MLO-POT-...
Always mount the displacement encoder and cylinder symmetrically, if possible (middle of the meas
uring system stroke must match the middle of the entire cylinder stroke).
For the displacement encoder MLO-POT-..., an electrical reserve of ≥ 0.3 % of the nominal length is re
quired in both end positions so that a wire break or defective wiper can be detected (already taken into
account with the integrated potentiometer of the DSMI).
Example:
Nominal length of the displacement encoder: 1000 mm; electrical effective length: approx. 1006 mm
}
Permitted work path: 0 ... 1000 mm
If the displacement encoder slide leaves the permitted work path, the CMAX generates a corresponding
error message. To avoid these error messages:
Limit the positioning range so that the displacement encoder slide is always within the permitted
work path.
