German MESS PROFIS sensor MESS PROFIS model MESS PROFIS price

MESS PROFIS sensor pressure sensor for level measurement. The static pressure submersible level transmitter (level gauge) is based on the principle that the static pressure of the measured liquid is proportional to the height of the liquid. It uses advanced foreign isolated diffused silicon sensitive elements or ceramic capacitive pressure sensitive sensors to convert static pressure into electrical signals, which are then converted into standard electrical signals (typically 4～20mA/15VDC) after temperature compensation and linear correction.

MESS PROFIS sensor structure

It consists of two parts: the scale grating and the grating readhead. The figure on the right shows the structure of the grating ruler. The key part of the grating detection device is the grating readhead, which consists of a light source, condensing lens, index grating, photoelectric elements, and adjustment mechanisms. There are many structural forms of grating readheads, which are divided into direct-receiving readheads (also known as silicon photovoltaic cell readheads, mirror-image readheads, beam-splitter readheads, and metal grating reflective readheads) based on their structural characteristics and application scenarios.

MESS PROFIS sensor principle

The essence of a grating displacement sensor is to measure position using the grating pitch as a standard ruler. High-resolution grating rulers are generally expensive and difficult to manufacture. To improve system resolution, Moiré fringes need to be subdivided; grating ruler sensor systems mostly use electronic subdivision methods. When two gratings overlap at a slight angle, Moiré fringes are generated in a direction roughly perpendicular to the grating lines. As the grating moves, the Moiré fringes move up and down accordingly. This converts the measurement of the grating pitch into the measurement of the number of Moiré fringes. Within the width of one Moiré fringe, placing 4 photoelectric devices at certain intervals enables electronic subdivision and direction determination. For example, for a grating ruler with 50 line pairs/mm, the grating pitch is 0.02mm. If four-fold subdivision is used, counting pulses with a resolution of 5μm can be obtained, which achieves high precision in general industrial measurement and control. Since displacement is a vector, both its magnitude and direction must be detected; therefore, at least two photoelectric signals with different phases are required. To eliminate common-mode interference, DC components, and even harmonics, differential amplifiers composed of low-drift operational amplifiers are typically used. The 4 photoelectric signals obtained from 4 photosensitive devices are sent to the input terminals of 2 differential amplifiers respectively. The two signals output from the differential amplifiers have a phase difference of π/2. To obtain direction determination and counting pulses, these two signals need to be shaped, first into square waves with a duty cycle of 1:1. Then, by comparing the phases of the square waves, the movement direction of the grating ruler can be determined. By counting the square wave pulses, the displacement and speed of the grating ruler can be obtained.

MESS PROFIS sensor usage precautions

Power off before plugging or unplugging the connector between the linear encoder sensor and the digital readout. Install an external protective cover whenever possible, promptly remove chips and oil splashed onto the scale, and strictly prevent any foreign matter from entering the housing of the linear encoder sensor. Regularly check whether the mounting and connection screws are loose. To extend the service life of the dust-proof sealing strip, apply a thin, even layer of silicone oil to the sealing strip; take care not to splash it onto the glass grating etched surface. To ensure reliable operation of the linear encoder sensor, periodically clean and wipe the glass scale surface and the index grating surface with an ethanol mixture (50%), keeping the glass scale surface clean. The linear encoder sensor must not be subjected to severe vibration or impact, as this may damage the scale; if the scale fractures, the linear encoder sensor will fail. Do not disassemble the linear encoder sensor yourself, and never arbitrarily change the relative gap between the main scale and the secondary scale; otherwise, you may compromise the accuracy of the linear encoder sensor and cause relative friction between the main scale and the secondary scale, damaging the chromium layer and thus the grating lines, which renders the scale unusable. Take care to prevent oil stains and water from contaminating the scale surface, as this can disrupt the distribution of the grating lines and cause measurement errors. Avoid operating the linear encoder sensor in environments with severe corrosive effects, to prevent corrosion of the chromium layer and the scale surface, which would degrade the quality of the scale.
