1 Safety Advisory

Read this manual before installing and operating the MicropulseTransducer.

1.1 Proper application

The BTL5 Micropulse transducer is intended to be installed in amachine or system. Together with a controller (PLC) or a processor(BTA) it comprises a position measuring system and may only beused for this purpose.

Unauthorized modifications and non-permitted usage will result inthe loss of warranty and liability claims.

1.2 Qualified personnel

This guide is intended for specialized personnel who will perform theinstallation and setup of the system.

1.3 Use and inspection

The relevant safety regulations must be followed when using thetransducer system. In particular, steps must be taken to ensure thatshould the transducer system become defective, no hazards topersons or property can result. This includes the installation ofadditional safety limit switches, emergency shutoff switches andmaintaining the permissible ambient conditions.

1.4 Scope

This guide applies to the model BTL5-A/C/E/G...R... Micropulsetransducer.

An overview of the variousmodels can be found in section 6Versions (indicated on part label)on page 7.

Note: For special versions,which are indicated by an -SU_ _ _ designation in the partnumber, other technical datamay apply (affecting calibra-tion, wiring, dimensions etc.).

The CE Mark verifies thatour products meet therequirements ofEC Directive

89/336/EEC (EMC Directive)

and the EMC Law. Testing in ourEMC Laboratory, which is accred-ited by DATech for TestingElectromagnetic Compatibility, hasconfirmed that Balluff productsmeet the EMC requirements of thefollowing Generic Standards:

BTL5-A/C/E/G_ _-M/U_ _ _ _-R-S 32/KA_ _Micropulse Linear Position Transducer

Analog Output/ Low-Profile Housing™

2 Function and Characteristics

2.1 Characteristics

Micropulse transducers feature:

— Very high resolution,repeatability and linearity

— Immunity to shock, vibration,contamination and electricalnoise

— An absolute output signal

— IP 67 per IEC 529

2.2 Function

The Micropulse transducercontains a tubular waveguideenclosed by an extrudedaluminum housing. A magnetattached to the moving memberof the machine is moved acrossthe top of the housing and itsposition constantly updated.

The magnet defines themeasured position on thewaveguide. An internallygenerated INIT pulse interactswith the magnetic field of themagnet to generate a magneto-strictive torsional wave in thewaveguide which propagates atultrasonic speed.

The torsional wave arriving at

the end of the waveguide isabsorbed in the damping zone.The wave arriving at the beginningof the waveguide creates anelectrical signal in the coilsurrounding the waveguide. Thepropagation time of the wave isused to derive the position.Depending on the version thecorresponding value is output as avoltage or a current either withrising or falling characteristic. Thisprocess takes place with highprecision and repeatability withinthe stroke range defined asnominal stroke length.

On both ends of the nominalstroke length is an area whichprovides an unreliable signal, butwhich may be entered.

The electrical connection betweenthe transducer, the processor/controller and the power supply isvia a cable, which depending onthe version is either fixed orconnected using afemale connector.

Dimensions for installing theMicropulse transducer and for themagnets and control arm arefound on pages 4 and 5.

2.3 Available strokelengths andmagnets

To provide for optimum fit inany application, a wide rangeof stroke lengths, magnetsand mounting hardware isavailable. Magnets, controlarms and mounting bracketsmust be ordered separately.

See inside front cover foravailable stroke lengths.

3.1 Transducerinstallation

Any orientation is permitted.The mounting brackets andcylinder head screws allowthe transducer to be mountedon a flat machine surface.These should be evenlyspaced (Fig. 3-1).

The recommended spacingfor long transducers andextreme conditions (e.g.strong shock or vibration): A =80 mm; spacing between theindividual bracketsB = 250 mm.

The isolation bushings areused to electrically insulatethe transducer from themachine (Fig. 3-1 andand chapter 5.6Noise elimination).

The Micropulse transducer inprofile housing is suitableboth for floating, i.e. non-contacting magnets (Page 4)and for captive magnets(Page 5).

3 Installation

Ensure that no strongelectrical or magnetic fieldsare present in the immediatevicinity of the transducer.

3.2 Floating magnets

The floating magnet (Figs. 3-2to 3-4) is attached to themoving member of the machineusing non-magnetizable screws(brass, aluminum). To ensurethe accuracy of the transducersystem, the moving membermust carry the magnet on atrack parallel tothe transducer.

The following table providesfigures in [mm] for the spacingwhich must be maintainedbetween magnet andtransducer and for thepermissible center offset:

3.3 Captive magnets

Lateral forces are to be avoidedwhen using captive magnets(Figs. 3-6 thru 3-8). Connectionsare required here which permitthe corresponding degree offreedom with respect to thedirection of movement of themagnet along the

stroke range. It is assumed thatthe BTL5-F-2814-1S magnet isconnected to the machinemember using a connectingrod. The BTL2-GS08...Aconnecting rod (Fig. 3-9) isavailable as an accessory(please indicate length LSwhen ordering).

Cable entry(PG 9 fitting)

Fig. 4-1: Connector (optional)

When routing the cable betweenthe transducer, controller andpower supply, avoid proximity tohigh voltage lines to preventnoise coupling. Especially criticalis inductive noise caused by ACharmonics (e.g. from phase-control devices), against whichthe cable shield provides onlylimited protection.

Cable length max. 20 m; Ø 6 to8 mm. Longer lengths may beused if construction, shieldingand routing are such that externalnoise fields will have no effect onsignal integrity.

Note the following when makingelectrical connections:

System and control cabinet mustbe at the sameground potential.

To ensureelectromagnetic

compatibility (EMC), which Balluffverifies by the CE Marking, thefollowing points must bestrictly observed.

BTL transducer and theprocessor/control must beconnected using shielded cable.

Shielding: Copper filamentbraided, 80% coverage.

The shield must be tied to theconnector housing in the BKSconnector (Fig. 4-1); seeinstructions accompanying the connector.

In the cable version the cableshield is connected to thehousing in the PG fitting.

The cable shield must begrounded on the control side, i.e.,connected to theprotection ground.

Pin assignments can be foundinthe illustration above .Connections on the controllerside may vary according to thecontroller and configuration used.

5 Startup

5.1 Check connections

Although the connections arepolarity reversal protected,components can be damagedby improper connections andovervoltage. Before you applypower, check theconnections carefully.

5.2 Turning on the system

Note that the system mayexecute uncontrolledmovements when first turned onor when the transducer is part ofa closed-loop system whoseparameters have not yet beenset. Therefore make sure that nohazards could result fromthese situations.

If there is no magnet in thestroke range, the integratedfunction monitor provides thefollowing defined output signals:

Voltage output 10 Vincreasing decreasingVA > 10 V < 0 V

Current output 20 mAincreasing decreasingIA > 20 mA 0 mA for BTL5-C...IA > 20 mA < 4 mA for BTL5-E...

5.3 Check output values

After replacing or repairing atransducer, it is advisable to verify thevalues for the start and end positionof the magnet in manual mode. Ifvalues other* than those presentbefore the replacement or repair arefound, a correction should be made.

* Transducers are subject tomodification or manufacturingtolerances.

5.5 Fault conditions

When there is evidence thatthe transducer system is notoperating properly, it should betaken out of service andguarded againstunauthorized use.

5.6 Noise elimination

Any difference in potential -current flow - through thecable shield should beavoided. Therefore:

- Use the isolation bushings,and

- Make sure the controlcabinet and the system inwhich the BTL is containedare at the sameground potential.
