5. Operation

5.1 Getting started

The sensor is factory-set to its order sizes and adjusted, i.e. the
required output signal corresponds exactly to the selected stroke
length.
Example: Output Powerlink V2 = 0...100 % stroke length
Diagnostic display
LEDs (red / green) in the sensor electronics housing lid provide
information on the current sensor condition.

NOTICE
Observe during commissioning
1. Before initial switch-on, check carefully if the sensor has
been connected correctly.
2. Position the magnet in the measuring range of the sensor
during first commissioning and after replacement of the
magnet.
3. Ensure that the sensor control system cannot react in an
uncontrolled way when switching on.
4. Ensure that the sensor is ready and in operation mode after
switching on. The bus status LED lights permanently green.
5. Check the preset span start and end values of the measuring
range (see chapter 4) and correct them via the customer's
control system, if necessary.

6. Node ID configuration

This chapter describes how to adjust the node ID of the sensor.
There are two procedures available. Chapter 6.1 describes how to
change the node ID with the MTS Powerlink software, and chapter 6.2
explains how to change the node ID via Automation Studio by
B&R (Bernecker + Rainer Industrie-Elektronik Ges.m.b.H.).

System requirements
• Operating system:
Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8
• Network interface controller with RJ-45 LAN port
The Powerlink protocol uses a managing node (MN) that directs
all traffic to the control nodes (CN). Only one active managing node
is permitted on a Powerlink network. For configuration and service
of the CNs, the basic ethernet mode is used. Data between the nodes
is exchanged via UDP / IP protocol. During configuration, the status
LED will be flickering. The sensor will connect to the computer by
using an ethernet card or adapter.
IP addressing
The private class C Net ID 192.168.100.0 has been assigned to the
Powerlink network. Each Powerlink CN is addressed by a node ID.
The managing node ID has been designated as 240. Node IDs from
1...239 are valid for CNs. The last byte of the IP address (host ID)
has the same value as the Powerlink node ID. Thus the IP address
can easily be determined using the node ID of a Powerlink node.
6.1.1 Connection between sensor and computer
• Connect the sensor via in port or out port with the computer
via ethernet cable (part no. 530 065)
• Connect the power supply of the sensor via power cable
(part no. 530 066 / 530 096 / 530 093)
