    General, Safety, Transport and Storage 4 General, Safety, Transport and Storage Information Operating Manual This manual contains important information regarding the handling of the device. For your own safety and operational safety, please ob- serve all safety warnings and instructions. Precondition for safe operation is the compliance with the specified safety and handling instruc- tions.
  • Page 6: Statement Of Warranties

    General, Safety, Transport and Storage Statement of Warranties The producer guarantees the functional capability of the process engineering and the selected parameters. Demounting and Disposal Unless acceptance and disposal of returned goods are agreed upon, demount the device considering the safety instructions of this manual and dispose it with respect to the environment.
  • Page 7: Conventional Use

    General, Safety, Transport and Storage Conventional Use The ELGO-device is only conceived for the conventional use described in this manual. The ELGO MTM-A-000 length measuring system only serves to measure positions, lengths and/or speeds. CAUTION! Danger through non-conventional use! Non-intended use and non-observance of this operating manual can lead to dangerous situations. Therefore: Only use the device as described ...
  • Page 8: Product Features

    Product Features 5 Product Features The MTM-A-000 measuring system is based on the physical principle of magnetism and is used for a high- precision determination of the position, the moved distance and/or the speed. Based on this wear-free and con- tactless absolute measuring system, MTM-A-000 is suitable for fixed round rod profiles - for example for non- rotating piston rods of hydraulic cylinders in mobile automation.

    Technical Data 6 Technical Data Identification The type label serves for the identification of the unit. It is located on the housing of the measuring system and gives the exact type designation ( 11) with the corresponding part number. Furthermore, the type label con- tains a unique, traceable device number.

    Installation and First Start-Up 8 Installation and First Start-Up CAUTION Please read the operating manual carefully before using the device! Strictly observe the Installation instructions! In case of damage caused by failure to observe this operating manual, the warranty expires. ELGO is not liable for any secondary damage and for damage to persons, property or assets.
  • Page 14: Installation Of The Sensor

    Installation and First Start-Up Installation of the Sensor 8.2.1 Alignment of the active Sensor Area In the case of a 10 mm or 20 mm wide, single-track coded rod, the sensor housing must be positioned so that the center of the sensor pitch line is in the center of the magnetic absolute coding. The center of the sensor pitch line is located at a distance of 5 mm from the outer edge of the sensor housing (see figure).
  • Page 15: Adjustment Of Reading Distance And Lateral Offset

    Installation and First Start-Up Adjustment of Reading Distance and Lateral Offset Depending on the order specification, a 10 mm or 20 mm wide single-track coding or a complete all-round coding is used. Since the magnetic field lines are differently pronounced with a narrower and wider coding, different maximum reading distances and lateral offset tolerances result for the mounting of the sensor to the round rod.
  • Page 16: Calibration Of The Measuring Range

    Installation and First Start-Up Calibration of the Measuring Range 8.4.1 Calibration for Versions with CAN Interface A hardware calibration as described in section  8.4.2 is not required for this version. The calibration of the upper and lower set point is performed via the CANopen interface. 8.4.2 Calibration for Versions with Analog Output REMARKS...

    Connections and Interfaces 9 Connections and Interfaces Connection Options Two different connection options are available for the MTM-A-000 system (order information see  11). For the version with plug connector a 5-pin M12 x 1 round connector is used. 9.1.1 Open Cable Ends (Standard) Figure 9: Standard connection - open cable ends 9.1.2...
  • Page 19: Analog Output

    Connections and Interfaces Analog Output The 12 bit analog output operates proportional to the position value. Depending on the selected interface op- tion (see  11), the output is designed for operation with voltage or current. 9.2.1 Scaling of the Analog Output The resolution to the analog interface is 700 µm.
  • Page 20: Canopen Interface

    Connections and Interfaces CANopen Interface When ordering the CA0 interface option, the MTM-A-000 measuring system is equipped with a CAN interface according to CANopen standard DS406 for encoder device profiles. In order to start the communication with the MTM-A-000 an NMT command has to be sent first. The following identifiers are given: CAN - Identifier (6 Byte telegram)
