3.2.1
Product features
The MPS-G with 2 / 3 digital switching points and IO-Link (up to 16 switching points) is
used either as a magnetic cylinder sensor for non-contact detection of 2 end positions
or intermediate positions (up to 3 individually adjustable switching points in one hous‐
ing) or via IO-Link as a position sensor for non-contact linear position measurement
mainly in pneumatic cylinders, grippers and slides.
When using IO-Link, up to 16 switching points can also be used and additional diagnos‐
tic data such as temperature, orientation, vibration and max. acceleration can be
recorded and output.
Target application
•
Double end position detection via 2 digital switching points
→
Substitute for two individual cylinder switches
•
Detection of 3 positions via 3 digital switching points, e.g. for gripper process
(open without object / object gripped / closed without object)
→
Substitute for three individual cylinder switches
•
Position measurement for short stroke in systems with IO-Link
•
Detection of 16 positions via 16 switching points, e.g. for gripper process (gripping
of objects of different sizes)
Mechanical standard variants
The mechanical standard variants differ in the geometry of the sensor head, the length
of the connection cable between the head and control panel, the length of the connect‐
ing cable between the control panel and connection and in the connection.
