Sensor features Sensor features The MetallicContamination Sensor MCS is a stationary sensor for continuous monitoring of contamination of fluids – especially lubrication fluids – with metallic particles. With appropriate system knowledge of the monitored system, damage resulting in detectable metallic particles can be discovered early. The MCS uses digital signal processing to distinguish between ferromagnetic (Fe) and non-ferromagnetic (nFe) particles.

Our accessories list includes connection cables of various lengths with one connection plug (8-pole, M12x1, according to DIN VDE 0627) and an open end. The color coding of the HYDAC accessory cable ZBE42-xx is listed in the table below: (All dimensions in mm)
Using the switching outputs Using the switching outputs The two switching outputs delivery pulses that can be counted or utilized in a superordinate controller. The function and logic of the signal outputs is parameterizable. You can select between "active low" and "active high" (factory setting). Details on setting the switching outputs can be found starting on page 52.
Using the switching outputs You can set the duration of the particle signal between 5 - 200 Ms. This value is factory set to 7 ms. The signal gives no indication of the shape and size of the particles. The duration of alarm signal is set to 30 seconds Note that after the sensor has been switched on or after voltage has returned, a start-up phase of ≈...
Using the switching outputs Switching logic "active high" (Default settings) When particles are detected, both switching outputs emit an impulse with an increasing edge. You can set the duration of the signal Δt between 5 and 200 ms. This value is factory set to 7 ms. The signal gives no indication of the shape and size of the particles.
Using the switching outputs Example: Operation - several particles detected = logical "active" Switching logic „Device Ready“ The signal indicating that the MCS is ready for use can be emitted on the switching output S2. Note that after the sensor has been switched on and after voltage has returned after an interruption, a start-up phase of ≈...

Parameterizing sensor/reading measured values Connecting MCS to HMG 3000 You can use the HMG 3000 to set the parameters of the MCS. Connect the HMG 3000 to the MCS in accordance with the following connection diagram. You can find more details in the HMG 3000 operating instructions. Page 46 / 68 MCS1xxx /-T001 en(us)
Evaluating measurement results Evaluating measurement results The counter readings of the MCS are not comparable with particle concentrations as these are known from optical particle counters per ISO 4406. If the counter reading stays the same, this does not mean that a constant particle concentration is present, but rather the no further particles have been detected.
