Micropulse Generation 7 Linear Position Transducers from Balluff

By Design World Staff | October 2, 2009

Share



Florence, KY — Balluff introduces the first of its new Micropulse Generation 7 linear position transducers, featuring improved measurement and environmental specifications, longer lengths, and more flexible setup than previous models. Debuting in the analog rod style housing, Generation 7 is available in two versions, Micropulse and Micropulse Plus. Micropulse, the base offering, is fully backward compatible to Balluff‚’s Generation 5 products, yet delivers better measurement performance and environmental ratings. The advanced version, Micropulse Plus, sets a new standard for flexible output scaling and configuration using a PC interface.

Other improvements allow easier and more flexible configuration options during setup. New dual bi-color LEDs handle double duty for diagnostics and as a setup aid for pushbutton scaling of the position outputs. Communicating to a PC over standard USB, Micropulse Plus outputs can be scaled, inverted, and configured for single- or two-magnet position, velocity, or differential position between two magnets. Intuitive software features a simple-to-use graphical interface that allows drag-and-drop adjustment of the output characteristics. Configuration files can be saved for backup, replication, or for emailing to remote locations. Manual adjustment without a PC is also possible using the included pushbutton tool and simplified setup procedure that minimizes button-pushing complexity while maximizing operational flexibility.
