Position values are recovered from the physical position of the magnet; parameters rely on non-volatile storage. Includes a comparison of parameter recovery across five protocols.
Twenty frequently asked questions grouped into six categories — principle, accuracy, selection, installation, faults and environment — each with a one-sentence answer and a pointer to the detailed article.
Symptoms, criteria and remedies for five defect classes: coaxiality out of tolerance, incorrect gap, reversed or substituted magnets, loose fastening and external magnetic fields.
IO-Link is not a fieldbus but a point-to-point device-level digital link; covers the three data types, IODD and the data storage mechanism.
The controller times the interval between start and stop pulses and converts it; its application boundary and three hard prerequisites.
Reading holding registers and assembling a 32-bit position value, focused on the three most common pitfalls: word order, sign handling and polling period.
Topology configuration is the prerequisite for port-level diagnostics and programming-free device replacement; includes a three-layer diagnostic sequence and common terminating-resistor misconceptions.
Timing details of the master supplying the clock and the sensor shifting data out, including the Gray-to-binary algorithm and bit count configuration.
Explains where the 120 Ω value comes from in terms of transmission line reflection, with a powered-down resistance measurement table and the differing termination requirements of six fieldbuses.
Two main lines — importing the ESI and driving the state machine from INIT to OP — including DC configuration and the IN/OUT chaining order pitfall.
Troubleshooting in three layers — physical layer, address configuration, device diagnostics — including two terminating-resistor traps and a segment isolation method.
The principles of processing-frame pass-through and DC clock compensation, showing which jitter can be eliminated and which is a physical floor.
