Linear transducers now have integrated Profibus-DP
Micropulse magnetostrictive linear transducers from Balluff-MultiSwitch are now available with integrated Profibus-DP, and automatic baud rate detection by the transducer assures trouble-free startup
Designed to be the most versatile cylinder sensor, the ProSet4 provides flexible operation using discrete I/O instead of more costly analogue control inputs.
It installs just like a traditional magnetostrictive displacement transducer in probe-ready steel-walled cylinders and eliminates the need for pressure-rated end-of-stroke sensors or multiple external proximity sensors, brackets, targets, cables, and connection blocks.
The ProSet4 has two easy programming options - local, using a handy programming tool, or remote, using teach-in connections.
Interfacing a ProSet4 with a direct input ramping proportional valve allows simple setup of speed and position ramping profiles, without the need for an additional dedicated axis motion controller.
