4 Product description

The inductive linear position sensors of the Li-Q25L product series consist of a sensor and a positioning element. The two components form a measuring system for measuring for converting the measured variable, length or position.

The sensors are supplied with a measuring length of 100…2000 mm: In the 100…1000-mm range, variants are available in 100-mm increments, in the 1000…2000-mm range in 250-mm increments. The maximum measuring range of the sensor is determined by its length. However, the start point of the measuring range can be individually adapted using a teach-in process.

The sensor is housed in a rectangular aluminum profile. The positioning element is available in different variants in a plastic housing (cf. accessories list in chapter 4.5). The sensor and positioning element fulfill the requirements of protection class IP67 and can withstand vibrations of moving machine parts as well as a range of other aggressive ambient conditions for long periods of time. The sensor and positioning element together enable contactless and wear-free measuring. The sensors operate in absolute mode. Power outages do not require renewed zero offset adjustment or recalibration. All position values are determined as absolute values. Homing movements after a voltage drop are unnecessary.

4.1 Device overview

4.2 Properties and features

Measurement lengths from 100…2000 mm
Shock-proof up to 200 g
Maintains linearity under shock load
Immune to electromagnetic interference
5-kHz sampling rate
16-bit resolution

4.3 Operating principle

The Li-Q25L linear position sensors have contactless operation based on the inductive resonant circuit measuring principle. Measuring is immune to magnetic fields as the positioning element is not based on a magnet but on a coil system. Sensor and positioning element form an inductive measuring system. An induced voltage generates appropriate signals in the receiver coils of the sensor, depending on the location of the positioning element. The signals are evaluated in the internal 16-bit processor of the sensor and output as analog signals.

4.4 Functions and operating modes

The devices feature a current and voltage output. The device provides a current and voltage signal at the output proportional to the position of the positioning element.

Fig. 3: Output characteristics

4.4.1 Output function

The measuring range of the sensor starts at 4 mA or 0 V and ends at 20 mA or 10 V. Current and voltage output can be used simultaneously. Current and voltage outputs can be used simultaneously for functions such as redundant signal evaluation. In addition, one display unit can receive a signal while the second signal is processed by a PLC.

In addition to the LEDs, the sensor offers an additional control function. If the positioning element is outside the detection range and the coupling between the sensor and the positioning element is interrupted, the analog output of the sensor outputs 24 mA or 11 V as a fault signal. This error can therefore be evaluated directly via the higher-level control.

The strength of the resonance coupling is indicated by an LED. Any faults are indicated via the LEDs.

If the device does not function as expected, first check whether ambient interference is present. If there is no ambient interference present, check the connections of the device for faults.

If there are no faults, there is a device malfunction. In this case, decommission the device and replace it with a new device of the same type.

11 Maintenance

Ensure that the plug connections and cables are always in good condition.

The devices are maintenance-free, clean dry if required.
