3.2 Electrical connection

Damage or destruction of the sensor due to excessive operating voltage or
mounting error
• The applied operating voltage must not exceed the value specified in the data
sheet.
• Operate the sensor only within the limits specified in the data sheet.
• Connection to the power supply only by qualified personnel and in accordance with
the applicable safety regulations for electrical equipment.
• Do not connect or disconnect the sensor under voltage!

Corrosion in the sensor due to moisture penetration

• Use the sensor only according to protection class.
• The mating connector should have the same protection class as the sensor,
otherwise the lower protection class of the mating connector is valid.
• Avoid passing the dew point.
• Cable outputs must be installed in such a way that no moisture can get into the
cable.
• The protection class of sensors with connector output is valid only if the electrical
plug is connected!

Damage of the sensor cable due to mechanical stress

• Do not twist the M12/M8 connector inserts.
• It is important that the knurled nuts on the connectors are tightened to the correct
torque for each different size of the connector:
• M8-ASM connectors / couplings: 0.6 Nm
• M12-ASM connectors / couplings: 1.0 Nm
• connectors / couplings of other manufacturers: according to manufacturer
instruction.
• Use a torque wrench.
• Do not strain the connection cable.
• A separate strain relief is recommended.

Connector Pin assignment

According to the definitions of the output types contained in the appendix. Observe different color code for
pre-assembled accessory cables. See catalog information for accessories.

Supply voltage
See specification in the data sheet of the sensor. The maximum operating voltage must not be exceeded.

Special encoder
Special operating instructions for customized encoders must be observed.
The corresponding data sheets or encoder connection diagrams apply to output types not listed in the
connection table.

Cable Extension Position Sensors

Connection example: current output 420A

To convert the 4 ... 20 mA signal into a voltage signal, it needs a load resistor RM (measuring resistor) as
shown in the diagram. The maximum value of RM depends on the cable resistance RL and the excitation
voltage UB:

RMmax = ((UB – 12 V)/0,02 A) – RL

With an excitation of 24 V DC and a cable resistance RL = 500 Ω a maximum value of RM = 100 Ω can be
used (see page 54).

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Electromagnetic compatibility of posiwire® Cable Extension Position Sensors is influenced by the sensor
wiring.

Possible malfunction of the sensor when used in systems with highly

electromagnetic interference emitting components such as frequency inverters
Recommended wiring:
• Use single shielded sensor cable with twisted pair conductors for power supply
and signal output.
• Connect the cable shield to ground on one side of the control cabinet. Connect
the shield connection over a large area using cable clamps before or at the cable
entry into the control cabinet. When preassembled cables are delivered, the
screen is not connected to the housing on the sensor side.
• Do not install sensor cables close to power conductors such as motor or
contactor control cables (use separate cable ducts for signal and power cables).
• Install the cables in metal cable ducts connected to ground.

Programming of the start and end value by the customer
Teach-In of start and end value for the outputs PMUV, PMUV and PMUI2 is provided by two binary signals
ZERO and END. At the start position connect signal ZERO for a short period to GND via push button. At the
end position connect signal END for a short period to GND. The scaling range will be stored non-volatile. To
reset the sensor to factory default both signals ZERO and END must be connected to ground while powering
up the sensor.

The output signal is the ratiometric voltage of a potentiometer. The

potentiometer is supplied by a reference voltage source. The ratio of the output
signal to the reference voltage is proportional to the measuring cable extension.
For optimum performance of the sensor 94% (3% to 97%) of the potentiometers
total span is used for the specified measurement range. Provision for setting
the electrical zero and voltage amplification must be made in the subsequent
signal processing circuit.

This output signal is 0 to 10 Volts proportional to the measuring cable extension

because of its simple signal processing and suitability for all display, recording
and automation systems. For analog signal processing the voltage output is the

Current output 420A

4 … 20 mA (2 wire)
This output signal is a 4 to 20 mA current loop proportional to the measuring
cable extension of 0 to 100%. It is an industry standard two-wire system for the
transmission of measured values. The current loop is both measurement signal
and sensor excitation current. The measured value is represented as a voltage
drop across a load resistor RM. The current is constant and the signal cable
resistance (RL) will have no effect on the measured value. Therefore long signal
cables can be used, limited only by the cable resistance (impedance). Signal
cable disconnection or failure can be detected by a 0 mA current signal.

4 … 20 mA (3 wire)
This output signal is a 4 to 20 mA current loop (alternatively 0 to 20 mA)
proportional to the measuring cable extension of 0 to 100%. The 3 wire current
loop system is especially resistant to electromagnetic interference because of
the separate sensor excitation and the low resistance (impedance) of the signal
processing electronics. As in the two-wire system the measured value is
represented as a voltage drop across a load resistor R M and is, within limits,
independent of the cable resistance (impedance).

Interfaces ADSI, IExxLI and IExxHI

ADSI
A/D converted The sensing device of the ADSI16 is a precision potentiometer. The position
synchronous serial information is given by the analog/digital converter output as a data word. The
output data transmission takes place by means of the signals CLOCK and DATA. The
processing unit (PLC, Microcomputer) sends pulse sequences which clock the
data transmission at the required transfer rate. With the first falling edge of a
pulse sequence the position of the sensor is recorded and stored. The following
rising edges control the bit-by-bit A/D conversion, encoding and output of the
data word. After a delay time the next new position information will be
transmitted.
ADSI is the cost-effective solution where a synchronous serial interface with a
high transmission rate is required. It can be connected to all automation
systems with SSI input circuits.

Interface IExxLI and IExxHI

Incremental output The cable extension is measured and incrementally transmitted as a sequence
of square pulses. Output signals A, B in quadrature format are provided. After
switching on the power the signal processing circuit can be synchronized by a
periodic index (reference) pulse Z and/or a reference switch placed along the
measurement range of the sensor. Because of the direct digitising and the
delay-free transmission of the measured value this output is particularly good
for positioning applications with high resolution requirements. Depending on the
excitation voltage the output levels are compatible with TTL/RS-422 or HTL.
