Wiring Diagram for Position Sensors
The measuring amplifier BSC4D must be configured by the manufacturer separately when using it with potentiometric position sensors (linear potentiometers or draw wire displacement sensors) for the M12 version.
The position sensor’s wiper is connected to the measuring amplifier’s “Aux” input (M12) or “UE“ (37pin D-Sub). The position sensor supplies via the sensor supply +Us and -Us.
The potentiometric position sensor is supplied with 2.5 V. The “Aux” input or UE records voltages of 0-5 V.
