2.1 Characteristics
Micropulse transducers feature:— Very high resolution, repeatability
and linearity— Immunity to shock, vibration,
contamination and electrical noise— An absolute output signal— IP 67 per IEC 529
2.2 Function
The Micropulse transducer containsa tubular waveguide enclosed by anextruded aluminum housing. Amagnet attached to the movingmember of the machine is movedacross the top of the housing andits position constantly updated.
The magnet defines the measuredposition on the waveguide. An inter-nally generated INIT pulse interactswith the magnetic field of the mag-net to generate a magnetostrictivetorsional wave in the waveguidewhich propagates at ultrasonicspeed.
The torsional wave arriving at theend of the waveguide is absorbed in
the damping zone. The wave arriv-ing at the beginning of thewaveguide creates an electricalsignal in the coil surrounding thewaveguide. The propagation time ofthe wave is used to derive the posi-tion. Depending on the version thecorresponding value is output as avoltage or a current either with risingor falling characteristic. This processtakes place with measuring highprecision and repeatability within thestroke range defined as nominalstroke length.
On both ends of the nominal strokelength is an area which provides anunreliable signal, but which may beentered.
The electrical connection betweenthe transducer, the processor/con-troller and the power supply is via acable, which depending on the ver-sion is either fixed or connectedusing a female connector.
Dimensions for installing theMicropulse transducer and for themagnets and control arm are foundon ➥➥➥➥➥ pages 4 and 5.
2 Function and Characteristics
3.1 Transducer installation
Ensure that no strong electrical ormagnetic fields are present in theimmediate vicinity of the trans-ducer.
Any orientation is permitted. Thesupplied mounting brackets andcylinder head screws allow thetransducer to be mounted on a flatmachine surface. A sufficient quan-tity of mounting brackets is sup-plied. These should be evenlyspaced (➥➥➥➥➥ Figs. 3-1 and 3-5). Therecommended spacing for longtransducers and extreme conditions(e.g. strong shock or vibration):A = 80 mm; spacing between theindividual brackets B = 250 mm.
The supplied isolation bushings areused to electrically insulate thetransducer from the machine(➥➥➥➥➥ Fig. 3-1and 3-5 and chapter 5.6Noise elimination).
The Micropulse transducer in profilehousing is suitable both for floating,i.e. non-contacting magnets(➥➥➥➥➥ Page 4) and for captive magnets(➥➥➥➥➥ Page 5).

The stroke range is offset 4 mmtowards the BTL connector/cable(➥➥➥➥➥ Fig. 3-4).
3.2 Floating magnets
The floating magnet (➥➥➥➥➥ Figs. 3-2 to3-4) is attached to the movingmember of the machine using non-magnetizable screws (brass, alumi-num). To ensure the accuracy of thetransducer system, the movingmember must carry the magnet on atrack parallel to the transducer.

4 Wiring
Note the following when makingelectrical connections:
System and control cabi-net must be at the sameground potential.
To ensure electromagnetic com-patibility (EMC), which Balluffverifies by the CE Marking, thefollowing points must be strictlyobserved.
BTL transducer and the proces-sor/control must be connectedusing shielded cable.
Shielding: Copper filamentbraided, 80% coverage.
The shield must be tied to theconnector housing in the BKSconnector (➥➥➥➥➥ Fig. 4-1); see in-structions accompanying the con-nector.
In the cable version the cable shieldis connected to the housing in thePG fitting.
The cable shield must begrounded on the control side, i.e.,connected to the protectionground.
Pin assignments can be found in➥➥➥➥➥ Table 4-1. Connections on thecontroller side may vary accordingto the controller and configurationused.
When routing the cable between thetransducer, controller and powersupply, avoid proximity to high volt-age lines to prevent noise coupling.Especially critical is inductive noisecaused by AC harmonics (e.g. fromphase-control devices), againstwhich the cable shield provides onlylimited protection.
Cable length max. 20 m; Ø 6 to8 mm. Longer lengths may be usedif construction, shielding and routingare such that external noise fieldswill have no effect on signal integrity.

➀ The analog transducer outputsare potential-free. When connect-ing to a module with non-poten-tial-free inputs, ground loops maycause erroneous signals. Avoidthis by defeating the potential-free function in the transducer:jumper Pin 2 and Pin 6 in thefemale connector (➥➥➥➥➥ Fig. 4-2).
➁ A small voltage difference(< 10 mV) appears between pin 3and 5 due to seperate outputdrivers.
➂ Unused leads can be tied toGND on the control side, but theymust never be connected to theshield.

5 Startup
5.1 Check connections
Although the connections are polar-ity reversal protected, componentscan be damaged by improper con-nections and overvoltage. Beforeyou apply power, check the connec-tions carefully.
5.2 Turning on the system
Note that the system may executeuncontrolled movements when firstturned on or when the transducer ispart of a closed-loop system whoseparameters have not yet been set.Therefore make sure that no haz-ards could result from these situa-tions.
If there is no magnet in the strokerange, the integrated function moni-tor provides the following definedoutput signals:

5.3 Check output values
After replacing or repairing a trans-ducer, 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 to modifi-
cation or manufacturing tolerances.
5.4 Check functionality
The functionality of the transducersystem and all its associated com-
ponents should be regularlychecked and recorded.
5.5 Fault conditions
When there is evidence that thetransducer system is not operatingproperly, it should be taken out ofservice and guarded against unau-thorized use.
5.6 Noise elimination
Any difference in potential - currentflow - through the cable shieldshould be avoided. Therefore:– Use the isolation bushings, and– Make sure the control cabinet
and the system in which theBTL5 is contained are at thesame ground potential.
