MTS Sensors service tool
Temposonics position sensors can be adapted to modified
®
measurement tasks very easily from outside via the connecting leads
– without opening the sensor. For this, the following MTS Sensors
programming tool is available (see page 41).
Programming kit, part no. 253 135-1 (EU) / 253 310-1 (US)
The PC programmer is a hardware converter between sensor and serial
PC interface. It can be used for adjusting sensor parameters via com-
puter and the MTS Sensors programming software. The software for
reading and adjusting the sensors requires a Windows computer with a
free USB port. You can adjust the following parameters:
• Data length and data format (optionally with parity- and error bit)
• Resolution and measuring direction
• Synchronous / asynchronous measurement
• Offset, begin of the measurement range
• Alarm value (magnet was removed, magnet is missing)
• Measurement filter (moving average of 2, 4 or 8 measurements for
noise reduction)
• Velocity measurement or position measurement or differentiation
measurement
Step 1: Connect PC programmer
Step 2: Install software
Step 3: Start program
• Connect the PC programmer with the sensor via the corresponding
adapter cable.
• Connect the PC programmer to an USB port of the computer.
• Connect the power supply via connector.
The outer contact of the connector is 0 V (ground), the inner contact
is 24 VDC.

NOTICE
Never connect / disconnect the sensor when voltage is applied.
Step 1: Connect PC programmer
Step 2: Install software
Step 3: Start program
Download current software version from www.mtssensors.com.
Copy the program SSIConfigurator.exe to your computer and start it
by double-clicking on it. The program now displays a list of available
COMs. Normally, the COM port with the lowest number (e.g. COM1)
should be selected. If a connection fails, it could be a missing driver.
In this case, download and install the USB serial converter driver from
www.mtssensors.com.
Step 1: Connect PC programmer
Step 2: Install software
Step 3: Start program
After starting the MTS SSI-Configurator, the user interface of the
connected sensor with its adjustable parameters will open (Fig. 57).
