Designed TOUGH for real-world applications
The rugged choice for extreme conditions.
The waveguide consists of a special

nickel-iron alloy with 0.7 mm O.D.
and 0.5 mm I.D.
A copper conductor is introduced
through the length of this tube. The
start of measurement is initiated by a
short current pulse. This current
generates a circular magnetic field
which rotates around the waveguide.
A permanent magnet at the point of
measurement is used as the marker
element, whose lines of field run at
right angles to the electromagnetic
field.
strictive effect causes an elastic

deformation of the waveguide, which
propagates along the waveguide in
both directions in the form of a
mechanical wave.
The mechanical wave is converted
to an electrical signal by the signal
converter. The propagation time of
the mechanical wave is determined
by the position of the permanent
magnet and can be determined to
resolutions down to 1 mm.
In the area on the waveguide where

the two fields intersect, a magneto-

Micropulse
Linear Position
Transducers
Balluff transducers are the
rugged choice for use
under extreme ambient
conditions and over
measuring distances
between 50mm (2") and
4000mm (156").
Various output signal
formats are available for
integration into your
specific control system.
Obtaining accurate position

feedback is a critical part of
many automation
processes. Without
accurate, reliable
measurement feedback,
quality and production
suffer. The Micropulse
line of linear transducers
has been providing a high
level of linear measurement
for years.
In addition, we offer
processor cards with a
variety of programming
functions, for generating
digital or analog data for
processing in your control.
Micropulse transducers
incorporate some of the
most advanced features
found in any
magnetostrictive linear
transducer.

SSI
Quadrature
The SSI (synchronous serial interface)

output interfaces with popular control
systems from manufacturers such as
Allen-Bradley, Delta Computer,
Siemens, Parker and many others.
Cable spans can be up to 400m with
noise-free operation. The internal
linearization of this interface makes it
ideal for applications requiring the
best accuracy available.
The quadrature output interfaces

directly to standard encoder inputs
(90 out of phase, A & B). This
configuration gives you more
interface options for connecting to
motion based systems. Operating
modes can be either free-running or
synchronous (switch selectable)
depending on the control system's
requirements.

Replaceable Electronics Module (REMs)

In many applications, avoiding equipment downtime is
paramount. With that in mind, Balluff designed the Micropulse
rod-style Z housing with a field replaceable electronics module.
This unique feature allows the entire electronics package to be
replaced in the field in a matter of minutes. The plug-and-play
benefits of Balluffs patented Auto-Tuning circuitry allow one
REM module to be used for any stroke length. Of particular
importance in hydraulic cylinder applications, the rod portion
of the transducer stays in place the fluid circuit remains intact.
Replacement Electronics modules are available for the following
output types:
Analog Voltage, Analog Current
Digital START/STOP

The unique E housing

offers the ability to mount
the electronics away from
the pressure tube. This
allows the electronics to
be placed in a safe,
out-of-the way area where
space is an issue. This
remote mounting feature
facilitates easy access to
the electronics without
removing the pressure
tube from the cylinder.

The BTL5-P-3800-2
magnet can be used with a
vertical offset from the
upper surface of the
transducer body of
0...4mm, and the
BTL5-P-5500-2 permits a
distance of 5...15mm. The
BTL5-P-4500-1 is an
electromagnet and requires
a supply voltage of 24V,
which can be turned on and
off for selective activation.
This allows multiplex
operation with multiple
magnets on a single
transducer, since only one
magnet is active at a time.

R Low-Profile Style
The R housing provides
two unique opportunities in
the Magnetostrictive world
of Position Feedback. The
first is with its unique
housing design; it is able to
go where other products
cant due to size. With its
low profile design of rugged
aluminum, it requires less
space. The other unique
opportunity is BACKPACK
FEEDBACK.
Applications:
Pneumatic glides
Plastic machines
Presses
Transport system
Die casting
Entertainment
Flight simulators
Tool handling
Packaging
Conveying

Backpack Feedback
BackPack Feedback:
Using the R style
transducer, precision
electronic feedback can
now be accomplished
without any modification,
special machining, or
mechanical coupling to the
cylinder rod. For use with
any non-ferrous cylinder
tube, simply mount the R
housing Micropulse
transducer to the cylinder
end caps. Magnetic fields
developed by standard
piston mounted magnets
generate a position signal in
the transducer. Testing
required for approval.
Introduction
No internal modification
to the cylinder is
necessary, i.e. gun
drilling of piston rod
Wear free, noncontact, absolute
positioning
Low profile housing,
ease of fit to cylinder
No threat of air
leakage as with
internal position
transducers
Ease of replacement
without de-pressurizing
the cylinder

P110 Interface
Compatible with Balluff BTA processors
and various OEM controls, e.g., AllenBradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Parker,
Bosch, Esitron, etc. The P110 START/
STOP interface offers reliable signal
transmission over cable lengths up to
1,600 feet. RS422-compatible differential
line drivers/receivers are used to ensure
that noise signals are effectively
supressed.
P110 Replaces P1 & M1
Based on differing philosophies, two
controller-specific interfaces have been
established for the digital pulse versions.
The difference lies in how the edges are
processed. In the "P" interface, the falling
edges are processed and in the "M"
interface, the rising edges are processed.
To reduce the amount of part numbers,
the "P110 interface" has been
developed which combines both
functions. The reference point for the
propagation time measurement is the
"Start" pulse.

Installation Note:
BTL6-P11-M-0050AT-S11x
When extreme shock and vibration are

present, spacing mounting clamps every
250mm is recommended.
Custom mounting
options:
The BTL6-A-3800-2 magnet can be

operated at a distance of 4...8mm
from the top surface of the profile
housing. Together with the BTL6-AMF01-A50 mounting clamps, the
mechanical installation is compatible
with the BTL5-...-P-S 32 using
BTL5-P-3800-2 or BTL5-P-5500-2
magnets. This means for example
that long stroke lengths or
transducers with a bus interface can
be interchanged without making any
mechanical modifications.

A series of processor cards

with various functions and
interface variations has been
developed for use with the
Series BTL5-P... transducers
with digital pulse interface.
These cards are required if your
controller does not have a
Balluff P-interface but you wish
to utilize the advantages it
brings (noise-immunity, cable
lengths up to 500 m). The BTA
processors convert the pulses
sent by the BTL5-P transducer
into standard digital or analog
signal formats.

Terminology
Resolution
The smallest increment of
position change that can be
detected by the transducer.
The resolution of Micropulse
transducers depends on the
output type chosen.
Digitally-Derived Analog
(Z housing, rod-style only)
Output resolution is
expressed as 16-bits. The
digital position information is
converted into an analog
signal internally through a
digital-to-analog converter.
True Analog (all other
housing styles)
The analog output is derived
without using a digital-toanalog converter. Resolution
for this type of system is
virtually infinite. Attainable
resolution is determined
primarily by electrical noise
inherent to the application,
and input resolution of the
control system.
DigitalPulse Output
(all housings)
For digital pulse-output
systems (i.e. Start/Stop or
PWM) resolution is determined by the clock
frequency of the customer
interface which measures
the time interval between
the Start pulse and the Stop
pulse (or the rising and
falling edges of the PWM
signal). Resolution can be
determined as follows:
Resolution (in inches) =

1 (Gradient x Clock
Frequency)
The gradient value is printed
on the label of each
transducer and is expressed
in microseconds per inch
(sec/inch).
The Clock Frequency is the
frequency of the counter in
the customer supplied
interface and is usually
expressed in megahertz
(MHz).
Non-Linearity
The degree to which the
output value from the
Micropulse transducer
system is not perfectly
proportional to travel
distance. Standard
transducers show a
non-linearity of max.
0.02% full scale. Example:
a 24-inch stroke BTL5 with
analog output may output a
position value which is
0.0048" greater or less than
the true, absolute position.
This value is repeatable,
however, to within 0.0002"
(see resolution and
repeatability). For higher
accuracy requirements,
Micropulse transducers with
Synchronous Serial Interface
(SSI) can be used.
Hysteresis
The difference in indicated
position when the same
point is reached from two
different directions.
Repeatability refers to travel
from one direction only,
hysteresis from two
directions.
Example - assuming a
gradient value of 9.000 s/
inch and a clock frequency
of 56 MHz
Ex
BTL
Resolution (in inches)

= 1 (9 x 56)
= 1 504
= 0.00198
Digital Serial Systems

(SSI, Canbus, etc.)
Resolution is a defined
value, stated in inches.
Temperature
Coefficient
Expressed as ppm/C or F,
TC is the degree to which
the output signal (and
therefore the indicated
position) is affected by
ambient temperature
changes.
Repeatability
The degree to which the
indicated position point B as
represented by the output
value is reproduced when
moving in one direction from
point A and back to point B.
In the case of a BTL5
system, position repeat
accuracy is always the same
as the stated resolution +
hysteresis.
Terms &
Conditions
Dead Zone
The end of the Micropulse
transducer rod, from end
of stroke to the end of the
rod. This is usually the last
2.3 inches of the rod. If the
magnet enters the dead
zone the output will be
unpredictable.
Null Space
The distance from the head
of the transducer to the
start of the electrical
stroke.
Null Position
The position of the magnet
on the transducer rod
which reads a zero or
minimum output.
Stroke
The active electrical portion
or the sensing portion of
the Micropulse transducer.
Analog
The output of the transducer is an analog voltage
(0 to 10 Vdc,
-10 to +10 Vdc, or -5 to 5
Vdc) or an analog current
(0 to 20 mA, 4-20 mA) and
is proportional to the
position of the magnet.
Digital Pulse Output
The output of the
transducer is a digital Start/
Stop pulse or a Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM)
signal. Magnet position is
directly proportional to the
time interval between the
Start pulse and the Stop
pulse (or the rising and
falling edges of the PWM
signal). An external
counter is required to
measure this time interval.
A wide variety of processor
cards, PLC plug-in cards,
and stand-alone controllers
designed around this
interface are available.
Digital Serial Output
The output of the
transducer is in the form of
a serial data word or string
in SSI (binary or Gray code)
or CANbus format.
101
Terminology
102
Output Signals
Analog current output
Pulse interface
The output voltage is

directly proportional to the
position of the magnet
along the waveguide.
The most important
parameter for analog
outputs is the refresh rate
and the ripple of the output
signal. Many transducers on
the market attain the
specified values for output
ripple only by means of
low-pass filtering. This
always carries with it an
undesirable time delay of
the output signal.
attain the specified signal
quality without extensive
low-pass filters, instead
using improved circuit
design. This means fast
update times with low levels
of ripple and noise on the
output signal. Micropulse
transducers with voltage
output have 2 outputs, one
increasing and one
decreasing.
Available versions include:
0...10 V (10...0 V)
10...10 V (10...10 V) and
-5...5V (5V...-5V)
The output signal is directly

proportional to the magnet
position along the
waveguide. Analog current
interfaces of 0...20 mA and
4...20 mA are standard in
numerous applications and
in many industries. Current
interfaces are significantly
less sensitive to induced
noise than are analog
voltage interfaces. A 500
Ohm resistor can be used
to easily convert the 0..20
mA signal into a voltage of
0...10 V. The 4...20 mA
signal provides a simple
form of cable break
monitoring, since even at
the nullpoint of the stroke a
current of 4 mA must flow.
current output are available
with increasing or
decreasing signals.
The time between an

interrogation and the reply
signal is directly proportional
to the position of the
magnet along the
waveguide. These pulses
are transmitted using
RS485/422 differential line
drivers, guaranteeing noisefree signal transmission over
distances of up to 500m
(1640ft.). The great
advantage of these
interfaces is the noiseimmune signal transmission
with a simple and economical interface. Interfaces with
tristate outputs allow
multiplexing of several
Micropulse transducers.
Appropriate control cards
are available.
SSI synchronous serial

interface
along the waveguide is sent
to the control serially in the
form of a data word.
SSI interface can be
connected directly to
controls or closed-loop
control cards with SSI
interfaces designed for
absolute encoders. The
data transmission from the
sensor to the control is
synchronized by means of a
clock pulse from the
control. Depending on the
required resolution,
transducers with 24 or 25bit data words are available.
The maximum non-linearity
of the SSI Micropulse
transducer of
30m over the entire
stroke, the update
frequency of 2kHz and a
resolution of 5m make the
SSI Micropulse transducers
an ideal feedback sensor,
even in the most
demanding applications.

Up to 4 Micropulse
transducers with pulse
interface can be quickly and
easily adapted to a wide
range of bus systems;
no problem when you use a
PMT module from Balluff
and a process module from
Schiele Entrelec. It often
happens that applications
have to be specially
adapted to existing or
specified bus systems. The
combination of Micropulse
transducer with pulse
interface (BTL5-I1...), PMT
and PM module simplifies
this process with standard
components. Difficult or
decentral island solutions
can be implemented costeffectively using additional
process modules from
Schiele Entrelec.
Quadrature

standard encoder inputs
